• All members (excluding those banned) can change their display name once every 90 days without DMing a BD! Go to the profile dropdown on the top-right of the page, click "Account Settings", and click "CHANGE" beside your display name.
  • NOTE: Forum rules apply, which means no racism or anything distasteful please! We reserve the right to remove this functionality if there's abuse.
  • NOTE: At this time we have restricted the ability to view display name changes. This is in case someone accidentally changes their name to something we don't want people to see (full name, etc.)
  • NOTE (EDIT 2020-09-15 1:36PM EDT): We reserve the right to roll-back your name change if you change your name to something that causes issues. For example, taking the former name of an admin. Your 1-time name change will be used up and will not be refunded.

• Server list updated with our new 24/7 Fallujah Squad server! Huge congratulations to @John, @BoM, @Infinityward, @Kopsta, and the rest of the team who were involved in the launch. The server remained near-full (if not full) for 6 hours now and is still going strong at ~100 players. The server list features the server rank for Squad servers but I'm still figuring out the best way to have server ranks show up for TF2 and CS:GO.

• Squad server stats are now factored into the top header of the forums. I had to refactor the entire script so please file any bugs or errors you find. Thanks!

• Servers page was overhauled! Instead of having everything laid out in one long page, we've made it a lot easier to see what servers/gamemodes we offer. Each server page also gets its own page now which will help a ton with SEO. Probably the biggest change is that server managers (at the moment, just LSM+) can edit information related to their page without needing a TA/TM/BD which saves a ton of time for everyone. New games and new servers will still need a TA/TM/me to set up the script that populates the number of players, map, etc., but the rest of it can still be shown without any help from the technical team. Yay! Check it out here: https://steam-gamers.net/servers/

• Roles are now automatically synced between the forums and our main Discord server (discord.steam-gamers.net)! If your ranks change in the community or you've donated, your ranks will automatically be assigned to you provided you're logged into Discord. If you've previously logged into Discord, you'll need to do so again. Please check out how to do so here:Questions and concerns can be directed to myself. If you previously used Discord to login and you're unable to access your account now that your previous Discord information was forgotten, reach out to me on Discord. Thanks!
