Ditching our two latest additional Servers06/30/2008 - Posted by: t0nY:M()nT@na*
Hello all, I am sad to say that we are going to remove the last two additional server from our community due to the fact that they are very unsuccessful compared to our 4 primary servers.
We are going to officially lose them at around July 12th to the 14th.
For the Rest of the Time, we are going to be running them as a #2 2fort and a #2 Dustbowl so we can have some fun.
Also, because of this, I am interested in renting a TF2 Server somewhere else other than Toronto. So I am going to make a Poll so you can vote where to have the next server. I want to have three main Choices, which are California, Texas or the United Kingdom.
Please visit our forum and vote for our next server!

SourceMod Fun Mods Crashing Servers06/20/2008 - Posted by: t0nY:M()nT@na*
Hi guys, with every major update to TF2, there is always a nightmare when our fun mods from SourceMod usually colide . The servers were updated a long while ago, but were crashing everytime a single player joined. I was at work and had no access to delete all our fun mods to save the servers. At the moment we are running vanilla servers with SM, so that means we are not running any additional mods for SM except for HLstatsX mod, which is very important. For now I will be testing the servers, adding each fun plugin/mod one by one to see which ones are crashing the servers. Please be patient, but for the most part, we are able to play. Thanks for your patience and we will keep on gibbing!
Guild FFA - Free For All06/16/2008 - Posted by: t0nY:M()nT@na*
Hey guys, Mr. Filbert Fatburger has created a Guild Only Free For All, and here is an announcement from him in quotes:
"Okay Gibs, it is time to revamp and reorganize the Guild Only Free For All. Thank you to all who have expressed an interest in this event. I have been in discussion with the Boss about this and he has agreed to make it slightly more.... interesting shall we say. It is still going to be four 8man/grrl teams, scrim rules still apply. I am going to make a new signup thread in the New Members and Recruitment thread because it is easy to find without wading through security token errors. the thread will be entitled Guild Only Free for All SIGNUP. visit it to sign up for this Guild Only tournament (no clan, no generals, just us little guys/gals!) prize information awaits you at the thread."

Goldrush Server Causing Lag on Rest of the Servers.06/15/2008 - Posted by: t0nY:M()nT@na*
Hello all,
Unfortunately, we have determined the cause of the severe lag on all of the servers and this has happened two times. But all of you have known that the Goldrush Server crashes about 1-3 times a day, but it is suppose to restart with ease. But since this latest update, the crashes are different and when the Goldrush Server crashes, it actually stays running and causes all 8 CPU cores of the Server to run at 100%. So we are investigating this issue while the Goldrush server is down at the moment.
Custom Maps Server Turned into 24/7 Heights DB06/10/2008 - Posted by: t0nY:M()nT@na*
Hi guys, I would like to announce a great change just like the Stock maps to 24/7 Gravelpit, we are changing the Custom Map server to 24/7 Heights DB.
Some of you are aware of this awesome map, it is a Payload version of Dustbowl. Payload meaning the same type of game play as Goldrush, but with the map Dustbowl..
There was an issue with Respawn times, and I have corrected the issue by editing the entities of the map. (Editing the Code of the Map)
So now , Blue Team has instant respawn and Red team has 6-10 seconds respawn. The reason we have a respawn time for Red is to make it more fair for the Blue team and to relieve frustration. A lot of people left because of instant respawn for Red Team, and a lot of people left because of Red Team having 20 seconds respawn time.
So I cut it down the middle. Depending on your gameplay and how well you are doing, you will get 6-10 seconds respawn time as a Red Player.
I thank you all , especially those who have really tried to help me fill up the servers, your help will not be unnoticed.

TF2 Update06/09/2008 - Posted by: t0nY:M()nT@na*
Hey guys, thankfully, Valve has released an update to the TF2 Servers which prevents from crashing, and the most important, is hackers crashing our servers. You were all aware about the no name hackers, and before we updated all our tf2 servers, my administrator sent a console message to everyone and some people were scared and followed my instructions, which was to say a certain sentence so I could search through the logs easier. Do not be afraid of that one, it was my administrator updating the servers and he was warning you for a temporary downtime.
Here is what Valve released:
Team Fortress 2
* Changed video options initialization to fix some HUD resolution problems in mods
* Fixed crash issuing the last disguise command when not connected to a server
* Fixed rare crash on exit
* Fixed a couple of issues with gamestats reporting incorrect values
* Fixed an exploit that allowed clients to crash servers
Stock Server Changed to 24/7 Gravelpit06/08/2008 - Posted by: t0nY:M()nT@na*
Hey guys,
There have been some of you that have foreseen a fall in the Stock Map server. So I changed the server into a 24/7 Gravelpit Server.
The IP is the same at 67.213.67.84:27015
I know you guys were mentioning about making a highlander server which is a 9v9, 1 class per team limit.
If we really want to, we can easily make a new one for that and I will explain later.
For now, let us see how a 24/7 Gravelpit server would hold up.
