Have had a few servers I installed lately not starting up, tbh hadn't
got into what the issue is but this sounds like my problem also.

This master server is causing it:
72.165.61.189:27010
But this one is still valid as a master server for HL1 games in Steam.
Strange.

It startet yesterday around 12pm CET:
L 12/09/2009 - 12:23:41: Your server needs to be restarted in order to
receive the latest update.
It seems one of the master servers has a different version or does not
accept the game at all to be listed.

Yes, Im having the same problem on windows based servers.
Traffic into my servers still seems to be normal.
Last update for CS 1.6 was in June 2009, so not really sure why we're
getting this now.
Whats the build date on your server?

Until they DO unflag it, the best course of action is to set "motdfile" and
"hostfile" in your server.cfg to other filenames (motd2.txt and host2.txt
work fine!)

It is rather annoying, but you can use some cvars in your server.cfg to
direct your motd and host files to something else:
hostfile "yourhostfile.txt"
motdfile "yourmotdfile.txt"
I use those so even though the originals get overwritten with each update,
it doesnt matter. I've read that you can al
So a comment about how my schedule change will help me update my servers

So here is a dumb question...
Why does ever single L4D2 update overwrite the MOTD file with the default
that directs here: http://www.l4d.com/l4d2_servermessage/
What is the point? Or did Valve just forget to unflag that file as included
in the update?
Or am I the only person who this annoys?

Huh. It says "The major changes include:".
I wonder what the non-included major changes and the minor changes are.

Correct,
This is a perfect case for why you shouldn't post when you have the flu,
haven't slept and are under the influence of multiple pharmaceuticals.
In which case, I would like to say that SourceBans sounds like a lovely
solution for admins, while SteamBans is the one I dislike.
On 10/12/2
Wait hold on, I think you mixed up the 2 names.
SourceBans is a SourceMod+MySQL based banning plugin. It is useful to
track bans and provide a lot more ban support than the built in
banned_users.cfg. It is local-only. It's also useful if you have
multiple servers and don't want to sync your banfil
Absolutely right, I didn't realise Sourcebans also allowed local-only
bans. I was under the impression it was purely a community-driven system
with no actual control over local bans.

Agreed.
The only true "family-friendly" server I've ever played was eGO (CS:S).
And they have an admin on like 24/7.
