Lookinng after a disabled mother who is high risk - this is the 5th month she can't go out, so I spent 4 days doing the garden for her, hence not been able to kill zombies much.  Anyhow, here it is for you all to see.

Do we really have to go back to basic RULES (101)?  

I have gone out of my way to help many of you get your membership sorted and this is how you repay not just me or the person you offend with racist, homophobic, intolerant language and attitude; it goes against everything this server tries to upheld - we are a tolerant community and if you can't be, then you're out of here.

NO   APOLOGIES   WILL   BE   ACCEPTABLE   (or 'I didn't mean it like that'  'I was only joking')   Those are sorry excuses  if  you  are  perma-banned  for racism, homophobia etc.

Welcome back Joda.  Unfortunately like many people, I am now out of work due to the corona situation - I will have virtually no money coming in for the next 3 months (lockdown) - this is going to be a severe strain as I have my disabled mother living with me - my bare bones living requirements (food and bills etc) is at an all-time low (approx $50 per week).  If the situation gets any better after this period and if I can help, I will try.

If you haven't already sorted the sound out try this :  Verify the game cache then open the console in-game and type the following:     snd_rebuildaudiocache        and     snd_updateaudiocache     then exit
Let it finish.  It will take a while.  If it freezes, that's OK, just wait and let it do it's job - hope it works.

There has been a lot of discussion about this and we haven't made this decision lightly.   First of all, your attitude stinks - as soon as you join and you're on a losing team it's constant whining.  As a previous admin, you know how stressful it can be at times, but you flagrantly push the wrong buttons all the time.  You seem to be joining the Elias and soda regime and quite frankly with the server now becoming popular again we want this a suitable environment for all and not go back to the old ways of creating so much drama.   The perma-ban will remain for 6 months to give you a cooling-off period, come back then we will review the situation.    However, be warned, if you intend to use an alt a/c during this period, it will remain permanent.

!st time in a long time - server full of members - here's the proof (goat in spec and another crashed)  but they did come back  - at this rate we'll be having both servers full soon no doubt.

If you have paid or someone else has paid for you and your membership is still not working - please post here with your GC name and Steam ID (that's the one that looks like this  STEAM_0:012345678).

Under careful discussion and consideration, it's been decided that mods will no longer be available to use on server 2 as of now.

Don't I count lol - 51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60 - I could go on if you wish?

I'm a very keen photographer and video geek - problem is - I prefer taking night shots, but don't have a tripod atm and I've forgotten most of the techniques required to compensate in adjusting camera settings - any tips would be great - cheers.

  Is there a maximum number?

I'll start - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19 - you can probably guess where this is going - 20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30 - if I win - can I nominate someone for membership? - 31,32,33,34,36,37,38,39,40 - it's 5.30am, can't keep this up much longer - 41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50  - is it anyone of those numbers?  

You got distracted by decision making - whether to fill your wine glass up or drink from the bottle instead so you don't have to wash up.  I suppose admins aren't allowed; even if we were, people would start screaming fix if one of us won.  Holidays make me crazy - so commercialised spawning Christmas adverts on TV in July, buying crap that no one wants or needs - might as well take your shopping and dump it straight away into a landfill.  Then there's all that cooking to do - I got 14 people coming to eat me out of house and home again and get tinkleed - lucky I got a special recipe for the turkey stuffing.  A hug and someone to talk to  - that's all I want for my present from my dog.

You can spit wherever you want - welcome back.

Hi all - just a heads up about the upcoming sales we're having.

If you are going to start screaming at admins to 'do this and do that' with new people and expect us to kick them immediately - then you're mistaken  - they have to be warned first, kicked, then banned if they repeat.

Admins have enough to deal with as you are quite well aware - but if you start arguing with admins over decisions in game about such matters - expect a kick or ban yourself if you don't stop.

Please welcome all new players - but if they DO NOT listen at all, treat them like a bot and you're welcome to leave them and they will be dealt with accordingly.

People say this game is dying - no it's not - it's still here and so so is this server - it's still the best regardless - because we know that perma-banned players still try to get in. 

But why do they want to continually come back?  It's because they know it's the best server ever for L4D2 - and they know it - so please don't join the 'Troll gang' and don't argue with admin decisions about warning, kicking or banning; otherwise you will find yourself in the same predicament.

Thank You

Hey Revenant - thanks for coming to the server - it's a pleasure when people do this - I will unban you right now - there you go.

Please don't rush - you seem like a new guy who likes this server - if you get stuck or have any questions in game - there are quite a few spanish speakers here - just ask.

Hope to see you back soon.

If you like the server so much - to become a member - you get a few perks - $15 per year. cheaper than a coffee at starbucks

hope to see you soon

Especially busy during the steam sales and school holidays - welcome back

15pt Hordes are available

OK  THIS  IS  SERIOUS M8  UNBAN  ME  -   are you serious with this demand.  There's no real apology for your actions and a failure on your part to adhere to the instructions when you were perma-banned - trolling, griefing, entering server on alt a/c when your were banned and knowingly being devious playing with banned people - IDK how other Admins feel about this, but quite frankly - we are better off without you and your crew.

It's up to the Board Members whether you're ban is lifted or not.  However, with 5 bans already they would probably take a dim view of the situation.

Besides, until SourceBans are fixed there is nothing an Admin can do to unban - you just got to wait for a BM to sort this out - and as it's been nearly a year that things haven't been right with the server, you will have to wait patiently.

See this for your recollection -

Your sorry excuse is a paradox to me - do I care - no - you are sorry for a glitch that you tried succeeded - you knew it was a glitch - you tried - don't be in denial.  Many of us have seen you in here on several occasions since that ban using alt names/account. 

Until BM intervenes, you are banned - come back in 6 months and try again.

If you did not think it would work - why would you do it ?  You know it's an exploit  - you cause enough trouble as it is - your fault.  

Even you realise, when you are banned - you don't come into game using an alt - which you have previously done on several occasions.

Ignore the rules at your own peril.

I do a lot of proof reading and editing with music - I'm an avid reader - if you could provide a brief outline of story to begin with; then email me with your script - I'd be happy to help - but I'm very busy this week - got a major gig - but I'll help if you still need it

Hi Dadoo - this is what I do to fix it - follow steps in this order

1   close all steam and games

2   turn off router

3   clear all history and cache

4   restart computer and wait for re-boot - let it load then turn on router

5  wait a few mins before you start steam

Let us know how you get on

Glad to hear you're safe - now go clean up that mess you made.

Please - I'm taking that as a rhetoric question - let's not debate the minutiae of the details - you were asked to stop spamming multiple time and you didn't, you were warned, then kicked, came back and started doing it again - you were banned - end of.

Any infraction of rules is always met with warns, kicks then ban - I gave you so many chances to stop - enough already - take your ban and we will welcome you back after 24hours - storm and teacup come to mind - going to lock this.

Welcome to the forums BlackKitty - you were banned for 1 day for spamming the bot vocals - I warned you many times in previous rounds not to spam.  You were consistent throughout each and every map of every campaign - there are  /hsay  (messages) Please DO NOT SPAM bot vocals  that show on screen, in chat and I verbally warned you not to spam.  If you like this server so much, please listen to admins and don't ignore rules.  I would unban you as you have come to the server, but  sourcebans are down atm as GC is undergoing a major update.

As the ban is only for 1 day I suggest that you peruse the server and read upon what we expect from people who want to play here.  

Hope to see you again soon, and if a Board Member could unban, I'm sure they will.
