Bumped again, I'm now running my "Uber Rig" (Vista 64, Core 2 Duo E6750, Zotac nVidia 8800GT 512MB Overclocked, 4 GB Geil 800Mhz RAM) and it looks pants in 1680x1050, getting loads of graphical glitches.
I am however enjoying playing on my lunchbreaks at work, although it's not as hardcore as it used to be <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

Also hi and welcome back and say hello to NS2 development as well. Oh and I didn't realize this is Off-topic. So, ehm... Tell me all about the weather over there?

Bumped again, I stopped playing again <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />
Started again now, I bought a router and put DD-WRT on it now, so my net is now acceptable <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
Seen a few faces online, it seems like everyones decided to start playing again recently.

I have yet to encounter a person that quits a game because they were not treated as nicely as they think they would have deserved it, in the games official forum!
if you think this place is unfriendly you haven't visited many official game forums =3
Try World of Warcraft for some really charming community hijinks (or if you like extreme niceties you can check the 'running with scissors' forums, proud makers of such mature, high-calibre games as Postal and Postal 2).

Well, a forum is used for posting once in a while. The way you posted is kinda like one of those myspace'ish sites. Hop on IRC, people do talk there <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
PS: I miss the 2.0 era

I think a lot has changed since I have been gone, now I wish they would build Steam for Linux as well =)
I still remember a few faces from when I was around...

NS2 is in development, if you're interested in NS I'd imagine the off topic forums is the furthest place from the game you can get.
