Re: [hlds] TF2 - Removing Halos
I'm probably going to get slaughtered for posting my opinion here but I'll just throw it out anyway... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh1qWZWNGGE Also didn't George Carlin once say something about people fighting... Chances are good they are wearing different kind of hats. Keep an eye on that, it might be handy in the future sometime. In that light, I thank the author for allowing us to remove this. I don't like how they used third party programs to get the hats but I think this totally could have been handled better by Valve.

Re: [hlds] Timeout Issues (Just some info)
Well awesome. I decided to examine my massive log files for when more than one person timed out at the same time. I collected it all into a big .log file it grew to 31GB before I had to kill it due to lagging the server. Anyone able to beat that?
