Initially just poking on the lack of action in the list I got a lot more info than I could've hoped for. Thanks for all the links, Jesse. So many knowledgeable people on this list (myself not included). Sucks there's not much going on here anymore.
I guess I'll just have to wait, indefinitely, to see if this list gets revived sometime around L4D's reincarnation. On a related note, when I played L4D2 the other day, I tried to join a map (urban flight?) that appeared in the list of VS games. Now this was a first for me... Highlighting the map entry in the list there on the right - iirc, the download link was*steam* something. Clicking that link immediately started downloading it in-game with a nbs snazzy black/white progress bar in the bottom-right, without taking me to some site. All without having to restart the game the map was playable...supposedly. Unfortunately, when it finished dling no one was playing the map anymore, of course... It was seamless, reminding me of the old quake days. A great (-ly expected) feature way too late.
