Thread: Downtime

yay joker, you're saving me <3

Here's what I don't understand:

1. The exploit doesn't prevent servers for gmod from existing, and many big name RP servers are still up, so why did VM pull theirs?

2. Even so, I barely see any servers even remotely affected by this, and it seems to have only been noticed as other games have been patched and gmod hasn't.

So what the fuck is up with all of this bullshit? It seems like fucking swine flu! (IE: something that seems serious, but has been going on forever and ever and NOW everyone is making a big stink about it)

Furthermore, It looks as though VM has pulled their servers for the exclusive purpose of saying FU to Garry(http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=798387) (which in truth is really stupid as Garry knows the problem exists and has admitted that, as someone who really doesn't know the source engine's code, he can't do anything for now until valve helps him)

In closing, Please reinstate the servers, this is bullshit. If you're so paranoid about people fucking with the server, maybe you should recruit some admins that are at least 17? (not to imply that your admins are kids, I'm just saying it helps to have admins with more maturity, yanno?)


TL;DR
BAWWWWWWW I WANT THE SERVER BACK!!!!!11!!!111one

Top Tip: Always know what you are talking about when you try and tell people how they can improve.

I'm sorry, you just lost the game. Our game, not that shit one.

Also, you are an idiot.

Can I put my balls on your forehead?

1) Why did we drop the servers? So we don't end up on this list:

<Removed>

2) What other servers were affected? See this list:

<Removed>

I wouldn't download them, whoever exploited to get them could well have packed extra presents in there with them.

You just made a massive fool of yourself, and proved you have little to no knowledge of the current exploit, nor the ways of running a server or community.

Your childish naivety is worthy of idiot status.

as Garry knows the problem exists and has admitted that, as someone who really doesn't know the source engine's code, he can't do anything for now until valve helps him

Wait lol? How did he make GMod if he doesn't know how to edit the source engine?


Damn you iLL, now I have to start over again!

Dont whine about the servers being down please, just let 'm down until we are sure, really really sure no one can steal applejack(or w/e it's named now).

There aren't any. It's just lua files and you can't do much with those. Read every line if you'd like, you will find nothing that wasn't already on those servers.
