Hmm..it's been a looong time. IIRC it was the year 2001 that I started running it on my lightning fast state of the art PIII/800, Quest DSL and a Cisco 678 router. So yeah, 8 years now. It was Ooks 1001 Maps Pit of Death or something like that. When Steam came out, I changed it to Ooks Steaming Pile of Crap because that was what I thought of Steam, and I've kept that name ever since LOL.
I'm actually running two - one that runs private_beach_v2 24/7, and another that cycles through a random collection of my maps. I get people in private_beach_v2 all the time, and frequent campers in the other that just sit there and suck maps from me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Payton" <[email protected]> To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 03, 2009 3:55 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] HL1 Map Collections wanted > My guess is, when a game get's its "hooks" into you, some people just > can't let go.
