For Server 1: connect l4d2.gcftw.com:27015 Server 2: connect l4d2.gcftw.com:27016

BTW if you need to disable a server - make sure it is Server 1

Can anyone translate that in simple English lol. Seems to have affected the nfo server - can log in, but no access to servers.

I'd thought I would be able to donate by now, but there are serious issues going on over this side of the pond that's making it impossible for me to do that atm - I'm going through a court case right now - I lived in Atlanta for 7yrs - 2000 to 2007 - according to the DWP (Department of Works and Pensions) - I owe them almost $15K in taxes for that period and they have now determined that that money is going to be automatically taken away from me - so I'm left with only $55 per week to live on - 25yrs teaching, traveling the world doing endless gigs, and now with Brexpoop, I very must doubt my financial state is not going to improve as yet. I'm on the scrap-heap, along with 400,000 freelance artists - there doesn't seem to be an escape from this financial poop-state of affairs, thanks you wanker Brexpoopters & a 'violent expletive' towards you Ametican/Irish supporters who have never been to Ireland - so go eff yourself - cus you guys are still a disdain and a blot on the peace-process - please God, if you ever existed - destroy BREXIT - what a monumental failure in 2016 these UK nobs voted for is killing us - DEMOCIDE. Was hoping for this new king to be assassinated - but whatever, he ain't got long to live - but that's another story.

Hi Fenix - long time no see - come on in sometime - still gets busy here, especially during the sales.

My fault for not shutting down computer if I have to go shop when a certain family member is visiting.

If you are a friend on 'facefook' - BLOCK ME ASAP - DO NOT REPLY OR RESPOND TO ANY MESSAGES - I doubt very much I will open a new fb a/c - maybe later as an 'Artist' page - IDK - that will take some time.

Oh good god lol 72 character password - I'm not a fully-fledged 'Nerd', maybe Archer or a BM could answer that question. I'll give them a nudge.

Hey Ship, wow long time no see. Servers are still here - facing a few bugs, but they're getting looked into. Comprehensive bind list here - should tell you somewhere what to do. See you in game soon.

It was Jackie that set up the 'Admin death achievement'. If Flitterkill or Archer can figure that one out, I think Max, yours should be "You got a Taco" lol.

Improvements have been made recently and is now a lot more stable than usual - sure there are still a few bugs that need sorting but the lag is so much better.

1 I know some of you like the new map, but there are those of us who don't, I think it's stupid. Besides, after the map is finished, it crashes and when you reconnect it goes back to that map on restart. Therefore, unless there is an Admin around to change map you'll be playing that all day. 2 Have the decency to type !teams and make sure it's balanced - I am not prepared to keep asking the same people who volunteer to swap to balance, it's not fair on them. If you crash and rejoin on wrong team, DO NOT CHANGE TEAMS without admin permission if it's unbalanced. Playing 7 v 4 IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, especially when there are 7 members against 2 with new people. I will endeavour to put you back on your right team, but it takes a min or 2 to sort it out at times. Be warned, if you change teams and make them stacked (like some people always seem to do) you will be banned for a couple of hours. PUTTING MY FOOT DOWN ON THIS. Just have the bloody decency to acknowledge teams are stacked when they are.

There are 67 plugins - GC uses Linux OS - it's finding the culprit - not easy when one thing gets fixed it breaks another plugin. Apparently, it could be that the bot !points are causing this, but only Jackie knows that code and he hasn't been around for several months. He has been messaged about this, but until he responds, it's left to Flitterkill, Crasx and Archer (when he can or is asked) to try and sort the problems out. Just got to be patient.

Merry Xmas

GC/steam/Linux updates got compatibility issues somewhere along the computer language barrier - hence bit of a meltdown - don't ask how long it will take to fix lol.

Hi Soap - long time no see - welcome back. Server 1 - main problem - most times it only allows 8 people max on server. Type in console: connect 216.52.148.77 Server 2 - connect 74.91.113.10 - lag is a bit of a problem - but it is getting looked into - don't know how long it will take to resolve problems as there are 67 plugins in total to check. See you in game soon.

I shall re-boot Server 1 for those who can't get in and the noobs even though it only sometimes allows a max of 8 people in - I will be on hand if there are problems, but don't expect me to be there very much :).

We will - maybe tonight if you guys are up for it - I'll throw up a vote in game.

That was a bit of a success if you ask me - totally stress free - makes a change and it was fun - would members and regs like to do it again?

There will be a sort of custom night when server is busy with Members and regs - and recent new people who seen to enjoy the server who abide by rules - to give us admins a bit of a break so we can just enjoy the game - because have of recently there have been a lot of 'newbies' spouting racist abusive potty-mouth language, rushers and trolls etc, it's impossible for us 3 admins to play and just enjoy the game normally without the crap going on and having to spend so much time in spec in dealing with issues- a new custom night will be voted for when server is full to purge the server of all new guys to give us all a break from the stresses and strains and just have fun. Admins will just kick new guys immediately on joining - Members need a break from sales people also - they cause so much damage it stops being enjoyable. The 1st 'Newbie-free' trial will happen tomorrow as an experiment for Custom Night.

Hi, and welcome back. Thanks for your offer, but I can't say anything about that - I'm only an Admin not BM lol - and apart from anything else, my coding is basic goto10 lol. The problems I gather is that the coding (LINUX) is having a problem with updates & plugins, and server ISP is having connecting issues with their server providers. I'm sure someone will be in touch if they need extra support. The problems are being looked into and hopefully they will be resolved sometime soon. Until then, we just got to put up with lag issues.

Competition weekend - that's if you want it

Accordions and bagpipes would be worse

Send thoughts and prayers - or if that doesn't do the trick, a few people have suggested that they would 'chip in' to help the BMs find someone independently to help out, but god knows how much that will cost? IDK, but maybe, just maybe there is something here that can help? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=276173458

In future - could you please respond how it's misbehaving lol - I really hate that song 'Ain't Misbehaving' but it does have a few decent chord progressions using the flat 5 substitute on the dominant with the diminished 7th - but I digress - btw getting my piano tuned on 7th June.
