!fkrespawn is a fantastic tool for respawning victims of mass-FK on JB. Someone on TTT just asked if people who were freedamaged could get their health back after the freedamager was kicked, and I thought that was a great suggestion that would be similar to !fkrespawn. !fkrespawn can't be used on TTT because players' bodies can be ID'd after death, and respawning them would be pointless as their role would already be known. But a command like "!restorehealth " which restores everyone's health that was taken away by the freedamager seems to be useful. Players' damage is already logged by sm_logs anyway, so it seems viable. Thoughts?

Would love to live in California. In & Out, Shake Shack, nice beaches... oh yesssss

@Greggy G and @ReyZi_Chan after they lose a scrim match https://i.imgur.com/pd28ZXA.gifv sorry had to necro this, it's stickied and there wasn't anywhere else to put this

Step 1: Pick a BD. You can find a list here. Step 2: Go to their profile. Step 3: Select the second option "Send Private Message". Step 4: Write a message kindly asking them for some of their time to change your name, and what you'd like your new name to be. Step 5: Remember to include your please and thanks. Step 6: you have a new name after they change it for you!

Athens was hilarious with the amount of pickpockets in the main tourist areas trying to open my bag. Had to wear it like I was pregnant the whole time. Would recommend the gyros though.

Haven't played peanut before. Where does the elevator lead, and where is the area before it? I doubt the elevator itself is KOS unless you need to press a secret to activate it, it leads directly to armory, or some area that is KOS is the only way to get in the elevator.

Good luck with your IRL job, and thanks for your work as a VP

congrats all :]

Although a good idea, I do not think the warden system will result in a better playing experience for either CTs or Ts. For starters, while Ts have more clarity in that there is a far lower chance of conflicting orders, there is also a much higher risk of orders being repeated over and over until it becomes the regular "one step out, face the back and freeze", as well as "bum rush big cage be on boxes". Allowing multiple CTs to give orders provides far more variety than allowing one person to control orders for 5 minutes straight. Furthermore, take a look at the following quote. This is a common problem with the warden system; players who don't know how to play JB even after 25 minutes on T side have the opportunity to hog the warden system for 5 minutes without knowing what they are doing. There is no good solution to this. Setting another arbitrary condition for players to meet before they can be warden only negatively impacts a new player's experience on JB. Overall, while the system we have in place is not perfect, it's been working somewhat well. I believe the warden system, while good in theory, will not work well if implemented on our servers with our current ruleset. EDIT: Consider the previous me playing devil's advocate. After some more thought, we definitely need the warden system LMAO. Far too many times has it been the norm for someone to give orders, and 10 seconds later another CT gives a different order. This has mainly been the case when there are 30+ players online, so perhaps warden can only be used when some player count is reached?

imagine a karma contest finally coming out and it being an april fool's joke feelsbad

imagine loading the forums and getting hit face-first with a bright white

... can you rephrase that, I don't understand how that whole thing relates to staff reviews

Would appreciate an update on whether this is being implemented or not . @Nishok

and fantastic too right

This was already discussed here earlier this month: https://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/showthread.php?t=87582 The verdict was that it adds little to no value and if anything just adds lag to the server. Good suggestion though @tides

Hi, Yet another suggestion, but this time about suggestions! A lot of the time suggestions end up floating around having reached no resolution, or poeple never get a followup. I would like to suggest adding multiple tags to suggestions, one for the suggestion status (REVIEWING, APPLIED, REJECTED), and one for the appropriate usergroup (JB, TTT, FORUMS, etc.). When a usergroup is tagged, the relevant CA's and AT's are tagged in the post automatically. This will bring attention to suggestions and ensure no suggestion is overlooked or forgotten. This is a bandaid fix for something more formal like JIRA/GitHub's issue tracking system, but seeing as the forums are getting an upgrade soon this might work for the meanwhile. :] thanks.

Hi, Me again . With the new Minecraft server coming up, I've been thinking a lot about how we can improve player counts in both Minecraft as well as the population of all our servers. One good way to do this is through search engine optimization (SEO). Quick Lesson: SEO is how websites and companies get their website to the top of Google's search results. If I search "csgo zombie escape", a website with good SEO would be on the first page, if not at the top of the results. At the moment there are 10+ communities ahead of us in the results, although this may change depending on which region you're in. How does SEO work? There's some secrecy behind it to prevent manipulation, but when a Google search is performed, Google sorts results by a mixture of relevancy and popularity. The higher your SEO score, the closer to the top of the results your website is. You can improve your score by having more relevant content, proper tagging, SEO optimization through keywords, etc. How can we improve SG's SEO score?: 1. A well-rounded site Turn steam-gamers.net from a forum-focused website into a well-rounded community website. With the new forums still in progress, we can take advantage of this opportunity to break the site down into logical sections to further improve our SEO score. Take a look at the following website: Website with sections for each gamemode. Community name removed to prevent advertising. When someone searches "minecraft ", each of those pages show up in the search results and serves as an introduction to the gamemode, with a subtle "play now" link at the bottom with the server IP. At the moment all of our servers show up on a list under "Servers" with no dedicated page for each gamemode. On our current forums, all our information is stored in subforums. To better improve SEO, we can create an introduction to each server on a dedicated page and have search engines rank that page high in the results. What better way to bring new players in than to have a page introducing the gamemode, and an IP at the bottom for them to join once they've finished reading? Example introduction to a gamemode. 2. Proper SEO website formatting I've dabbled with this in the past, but I'm not great at it. This essentially means including proper tags on each webpage and following HTML5 conventions so Google can properly determine relevant sections of each page, what to show as page summaries in the search results, etc. I think meta tags also help with this? SEO can bring in a ton of new players, and with the CS server browser still in a fairly terrible state, many players rely on sites like Google and GameMe to find new servers to play on. This proposal will take some time to implement and it requires some re-structuring of our current site layout, but it will be extremely rewarding in the long run, especially with the general population of CS:GO's community servers slowly declining. Thanks for reading!

Are you able to have private lobbies in the web-based version? Another free alternative is Mindnight which a group of us played on TS yesterday - fun af. Kind of like Avalon/Resistance if you've played that before.
