sv_pure |

This is more of an announcement than anything, but when I get to it remains to be seen. As soon as possible, I'll be enabling sv_pure on our servers. Doing do will require some breakage of the servers, etc., so I need to set aside a chunk of time to do it...I can't just edit server.cfg to sv_pure 1 and expect it to not freak out (as we saw in the past).
At any rate, we will be invoking sv_pure on server1 and server2 at some point in the coming weeks (the sooner the better). I planned on running it from day one, but quake sounds basically broke the ability to do this. I dunno if this was a bug or if I had something misconfigured, but either way I'm going to go for it again soon to help fight people cheating in the servers (and I'm sorry, but putting white walls and red/blue skins on people is in fact cheating).
Yes, custom skins/animations are 'cool' and help refresh the game, but unless there's a way for me to validate and add these checksums into the pure system (not sure if I can), there's no way for me to allow those without allowing people to abuse custom skins. It's simply not fair and lets people cheat when there's a perfectly good cvar in place to avoid this behavior.
Just letting everyone know so that if/when I work on it, things will blow up some what (I plan on doing this in #1 first, then #2). So hang in there, if you lose a day or two of CSS pwnage, I think you'll survive.

Not sure what was up, but our webserver was down this morning. I'm looking into the root cause of the problem, but everything is back up and appears to be fine now.

The Return.... |

...of the ominous  nights. 
Yes, I'm serious, no, I'm not teasing. Starting this week, I am now able to run sK nights on a much more regular basis now. So, that said, what week of the month sounds the best to everyone here? I was thinkin' 3rd Saturday of the month....which would mean we could do one next Saturday.  Now stuff could still possibly come up (on call on occasion at work now, and sadly work comes first), but at least we can aim at a more regular gathering again and adjust as needed.
So how's this sound to everyone? I think instead of unorganized mayhem, we'll start having themed sK nights, like Surf Night, or AWP Night, or Mayhem (invisi knife type stuff), custom map night, and so on. Since certain people want to play certain game modes, and other want to play others.
