This. Ignore any haters. Sad to see you stepping down, hopefully you come back soon.

Got key, thanks Sexy Fish. Gave first free key I got to Dezzy. Giving second key I got to someone else at another site (trying to start the same thing there, get more bitches rollin in) Hope the game's fun.

If you're sure you weren't phished, and had no other "shady" programs running that may have interacted with a VAC-Secured game, then those are to blame. HLDJ/HLSS do not cause bans most of the time, but sometimes they do. What's funny is that on their site they say "does not affect VAC". Actually, it does. It's interacting with your client to load and list the music files, and also uses their .exe to launch the game. Ignore anyone who says otherwise, they are incorrectly informed by the HLDJ team. tl;dr, if you're sure you weren't phished, and HLDJ/HLSS was the only thing that interacted with your VAC-Secured game ever, then that is probably to blame. You could ask Steam Support about it, ask them to check if it was because of HLSS/HLDJ - but they won't do this 99.99~9% of the time. So you're fucked really, it sucks. You'll need to buy a new account.

You and SoulKeeper ever share computers? In all seriousness, I am curious. Did you ever use any custom programs to play the game? Like HLDJ, HLSS, stuff like that? Ever play on Linux with WINE or something?

I'd love Deathmatch GG. Like 1 second respawn times, with spawn protection. But not true DM where you can chose your guns; you will have the "level up" system of GG. And it will have a time-limit per round, not win-limit. Will "loop" around your guns, so once you get to the knife level, you will go back to level 1. I play on another server that does similar to this with the map aim_deagle7k; it's really really fun and remains populated (at least until hackers come in to ruin everyone's fun).

I thought that was your fiance's job. :V (insert more lame jokes here) Jokes aside, cool. I wonder who'd be good at it. I think that if you request something publicly like if you needed some quick PHP done or something, people would probably do it. I don't know if anyone is able to give out a lot of time. If someone is able to, congrats, hope you have fun and expand the community.

Sorry to hear that. Killing outside of video-games isn't fun to joke about, people He lives in Canada. Chances are that you aren't allowed to carry around it, and even then that doesn't stop anyone...

I like it, I just see some problems with it. It should always be limited to one bomb per team, and can only be bought if there is at least 20 people in the server. Any less and it will encourage all the CTs will just camp with awps very far away from the Ts. Other than that aspect ("camp and not go near the Ts to help enforce rules because they will blow you up"), if the mod was ever fixed, I don't see any problems with it.

Gaming is legal to do bro, it's not comparable to torrenting. Gaming also uses (at least in the source engine) 50 kb/s AT MOST of bandwidth per client. Torrenting easily pushes the entire line's speed. Even if you're talking about legal torrents, it's still requesting and sending a lot more per second than gaming does. I would very much LOVE for the hardware of all ISPs and upstream providers to be updated and quicker. You're right. The end-user won't notice a huge difference. The people providing the upstream (and site admins), WILL notice. The Interbutts is a delicate thing. Bandwidth isn't free, you'd understand this if you ran/worked at an ISP. The upstream providers charge you - usually per total TB used per month. The more speed a user has available, the more chance it will end up hitting YOUR wallet, even if everything they did was legal. Someone viewing YouTube at 1Gbit 24/7 will rake up higher charges than someone viewing at 50Mbit 24/7 (simply because they can do more at the same time-frame). Then as an ISP you have two choices: 1) Record and charge your customers of bandwidth use per month (Comcast/Rogers/some other large ISPs do this). This is a horrible plan and makes your end users hate you. The more push for quicker speeds when the upstream providers still charge a lot per TB will encourage this plan of action, which will negatively affect everyone. 2) Limit the end user's speed so they won't rake up hundreds of dollars in bandwidth use per month (all other ISPs who offer "unlimited bandwidth" do this). 3) Offer unlimited bandwidth, give unlimited bandwidth. Receive bankruptcy! What can you do as a customer? Encourage providers to make their network run cheaper, which then makes the upstream providers able to charge less, making the ISP cost less to run, and then results in the end-user having a higher chance of having higher speeds. Reason why the speeds offered get quicker each year is because it's cheaper for the upstream providers to manage the lines, so the upstream providers can offer the ISP a cheaper bandwidth package, and then the ISP can give the end users quicker speeds. Yes, it's horrible capitalism, and I hate it, but it's what must be done. Unless of course you want to run your own ISP. You then can chose what speeds you want, and YOU will be the one paying for any and all bandwidth you use.

Perm banning from their favorite site. I'd let them do the rest.

Completely different. A clan usually recruits "expert players", has weekly scrims, etc.

Feel free to weigh in on the advantages of giving people a ton of speed when they do not need it. Bandwidth isn't free. You can not sustain a business with the bandwidth fees that everyone having 1Gbit would produce, without charging EVERYONE a lot more.

Times change. Speed should be adjusted accordingly at the same rates. Once it takes more than 10 or even 50Mbit to check your email and normal browsing, please let me know, I will gladly push for increased speeds for normal residential customers.

Exactly, it keeps out the casual people who will just rack up abuse reports because they are silly horny people. If you want more speed than is required for normal browsing (10Mbit, maybe even 50Mbit, is all the average person will need), you should pay for it.

I am thinking of it from a business standpoint. Would giving so quick speeds to people who don't even need/have any use for it (most of the residential customers) benefit anyone? No. Think, these are the people who run hot-porn.jpg.exe; do you really want them to contribute to the taking-down of websites when they join a botnet? I think the speeds should be offered, but you need to state a good reason for needing it. The majority of people who "I just use the Internets to check my email and facebook" will not ever need these speeds, and allowing them to have it will only rake up abuse problems.

Even if their infrastructure is better, there is only so many tubes to fit across. 10,000 clients (typical for a residential area). Let's assume ~20% have some sort of botnet installed. If the botmaster is ordering "DDoS $site", do you not think that it will cripple the ISP's infrastructure's speed and latency, no matter how much they upgraded it? Idiots are going to get viruses and slow down the system for everyone.

Accidental double-post... ;c

I learned from the best (YouTube and Ex-Sen. Ted Stevens). What portion of my post might you be referring to? If you're talking about "slowing down the Internet due to a lot more traffic", it's a very real problem.
