I was trying to figure out what was going on here. I noticed that you didn't mention your server so I went ahead and googled your alias (mysteriousjustin) to see if I could find out what your server IP may be.
I found comments you seem to have wrote on this page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJqbr4eV-Eg (How to use Unlocked Weapons in TF2 with NoSteam *Not Gamestat.txt Trick* [UPDATE NOV 12]) Someone with the name "mysteriousjustin" just so happened to write a comment in this TF2 related video. Mysterious indeed! Your YouTube profile I suspect (http://www.youtube.com/user/mysteriousjustin) also has some TF2 videos as favorites so from this point on, I will assume it is your profile. mysteriousjustin Joined: June 17, 2008 Last Sign In: 1 hour ago Videos Watched: 11,298 Subscribers: 10 Channel Views: 541 Name: justin Country: United States Schools: Mainland highschool Interests and Hobbies: Computers, Programming, networking, Videography.

I decided that I would connect to the server to investigate, I couldn't help but notice that I had an illegal (and impossible) STEAM ID. hostname: Pwndora's Box - Custom Maps - Fast DL - Radio version : 1.0.4.4/14 3686 secure udp/ip : 66.135.40.26:27015 map : ctf_convoy_v2 at: 0 x, 0 y, 0 z players : 4 (24 max) # userid name uniqueid connected ping loss state # 43 "Mr. Plow" STEAM_0:0:0 02:30 88 0 active <- # 44 "Masterlaserd" STEAM_0:1:18753477 01:09 242 75 active # 41 ">Pb l snipe_ur_face56" STEAM_0:0:14230854 09:40 113 0 active # 40 "[NSHB]243" STEAM_0:0:18903256 09:42 98 0 active Reading the website in the MOTD of this server I found a forum (http://pwndorasbox.net/fourm/), and someone with the name "mystery" just so happens to have the same exact problem as you, just today to boot! They have a thread discussing this very issue: http://pwndorasbox.net/fourm/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=30&sid=6ff91a53dd20622c6ef01e7c94b7f9ef I think I'm finished here. So, with all of that said, I think you should probably stop running a pirate server. As that very well could be the cause of your problems. I have screenshotted everything FYI, so if you try to cover it all up, it won't work. Pirates are not eligible for support I don't think. Happy 15th birthday, ask your parents to buy you a legal copy of TF2, it's only $9.99 now. They'll be thrilled. Mystery solved, thanks to Google!
