As for using wordpress, TF2.com uses it. It's fine as long as it's
updated properly (and possibly ran in it's own user in a restricted
environment). Now can we concentrate to server administration instead of
picking up on eachothers?

This is a mailing list focused around the operation of steam servers. If
people are compromising your machine through other vectors outside of the steam
server binaries, there is little advice we could give that you wouldn't be
better suited pursuing on, say, a web server administration forum.
We are not your personal army of network security specialists.
This is like if you wrote to the mailing list for a car mechanic group,
complaining that you left your car unlocked on a busy street and it was broken
into, and while you know that leaving it unlocked was silly, you find
installing locks difficult and does anyone have any solutions for how to make
the car harder to break into that don't involve locking the doors? We are busy
trying to help people keep their cars running, sorry.
Please understand that I mean my satire to serve as a gentle and amusing
correction, not a negative flame. I would advise you to consider moving to a
more secure blogging framework, or consider investing in separate servers if
keeping your wordpress is vital. Barring the offending IP ranges from
connecting to your server might be beneficial as well. So would doing a little
research of your own on how to secure a server.
Hope you have a nice day.

Ryan, why waste your time with a response like that?
It's no secret using WordPress may not be a secure platform, but
seriously, why waste your time with a reply so negative in a environment
that is here to support and help others?
Explain this to me.

Hello, I was doing something foolish and ran into serious trouble as a result.
Modifying the foolish behavior is Too Hard. Can someone else please think for
me and invent a way for me to keep doing foolish things without consequences?
Also can it be inexpensive and not time consuming, I've got better things to do
with my time and money than to obey basic common sense.
Sarcastic responses will not be tolerated.
Thanks!
