	Hello,
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Last night I was made aware of an issue in which a large number of people had been banned by an individual who had obtained the GFLBans tokens for Hide and Seek and Rotation. We determined that a staff member's Pterodactyl account was compromised by the individual due to reused passwords, which they used to obtain the GFLBans tokens and vandalize the servers they had access to. We responded by deactivating the tokens and revoking the compromised staff member's panel account. As some servers were rendered inoperable, we are currently working on restoring backups and will have them up as soon as possible.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	With the access the individual had, it is possible they would've been able to access the following potentially sensitive items:
</p>

<ul>
	<li>
		User Steam account IDs and associated IP addresses of users who had connected to the affected servers.
	</li>
	<li>
		In-game chat logs.
	</li>
</ul>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	That said, based on the logs our system collects to monitor staff member activity on the panel, we have no evidence that the user attempted to access any of this information. In fact, the activity logs suggest that the log files containing this information were deleted without being read by the individual during their wider effort to vandalize system resources. As such, we do not expect that any PII has actually been exposed but we publish this notice out of an abundance of caution.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	We don't believe it is necessary for users to take any action at this time, but as always we caution against reusing passwords and recommend that everybody, players and staff members alike, utilize a password manager to aid in maintaining secure and unique passwords for all of the websites you use.

<p>
	After a long break, we've decided to reopen our Gmod Murder server! The server will be on <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr>'s Anycast network and will have most of the addons and scripts that the server had before we closed the server down. A lot of things will be implemented, new and old, over time as the server progresses and after we find a manager to take care of the server. The forums page for Murder is officially back open, with old topics archived and a fresh start to the section. However, not everything has been play-tested to the fullest extent until proven working, so please notify us if you find any bugs on the server so we can fix them as soon as possible. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Haven't heard of murder before? Allow us to explain. Murder is a gamemode in which a player is randomly selected to be a serial killer. All of the other players must use clues to their advantage to find out who the killer is, and unanimously call him out to the sheriff. What's the sheriff's job? Well, his job is easy! Shoot the killer before the killer stabs him and his fellow bystanders! The killer must use stealth, false clues and misinformation to help him take down all of the bystanders. Due to the nature of this gamemode, and the fact that it's highly customizable to anyone who knows what he is doing, this gamemode is known to have hilarious moments, form bonds with peers in the community and ties with new players, and an overall fun and relaxed environment for all, staff, players, and manager alike! So, if you want to have fun or pass some time, then visit our Gmod Murder server!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Ready to join? The servers IP is 92.119.148.42:27015
</p>

<p>
	Alternatively, you can type "<abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr>" in the murder gamemode's search bar and the server will show up!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	We're also going to be looking for someone dedicated to the gamemode or garrysmod coding to manage the server efficiently. Feel like you would fit in? Message me (Zero#2784) or Fafy (Fafy#9164) over discord and we'll see if you're a possible applicant!

<p>
	I'm happy to announce two new additions to our CS:GO Server roster. KZ/Climb and Decoy Dodgeball. For those that might've been around for a couple of years would know that both of these have existed before, and I am personally excited to see how they'll fare now, and I also have high hopes for both.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	We have picked out two very driven people to manage these servers. <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/45876-infra/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="45876" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/45876-infra/" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(30,233,227);">Infra</span></a> will be managing KZ, and <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/48656-fordogreenman/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="48656" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/48656-fordogreenman/" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(30,233,227);">FordoGreenman</span></a> Decoy Dodgeball. Leks and I have faith in both of these guys. They have done an amazing job so far and I'm sure they'll continue to improve with time.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	We also want to give a shoutout to <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/49286-ves/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="49286" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/49286-ves/" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(30,233,227);">ves</span></a> who just became manager for Minigames about a week ago, but didn't get this type of recognition simply because Minigames has been around for a while. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	So, please feel free to join either (or both!) of these new servers. We appreciate any sort of feedback and sincerely hope you enjoy.

	Hey everybody!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Tagging along with the most recent expansion announcement, I'm happy to announce the launch of CS:GO KZ Climb in Europe! Just like our European Surf Timer expansion, we will be starting off with an easy difficulty KZ server, featuring only maps within tiers 1-2, to get the ball rolling.

	Hello all,
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The following GFL services will be going offline on December 24 at 23:00 CST for a maintenance as we move more services to our new web machine.
</p>

<ul>
	<li>
		Kibana / Elasticsearch logs
	</li>
	<li>
		FastDL Website
	</li>
	<li>
		GFLBans
	</li>
	<li>
		Grafana
	</li>
	<li>
		Server Loading screens
	</li>
	<li>
		Pterodactyl (both public and private servers)
	</li>
	<li>
		Sourcebans
	</li>
	<li>
		GFLClan.com Website
	</li>
</ul>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I will also be deploying fixes to Gitlab during this time.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The new machine we've purchased is pretty decent and should be sufficient to run what we once needed two whole machines to run, however, we're committed to the machine for another year or so, so we're going to move the developer VPSes to the old primary web machine. This should hopefully offer a nice performance boost to the developer VPSes, which have suffered from using a spinning HDD for awhile now instead of an NVME drive.

<p>
	<span style="color:#ffd700;">Hello, fetchers. We are henceforth promoting <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/43-mrmanslayerx/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="43" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/43-mrmanslayerx/" id="ips_uid_1951_7" rel="">@MrManslayerX</a> as the second CS:S division leader.</span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<span style="color:#ffd700;">It may seem odd that we would even need a second division leader for CS:S, given the circumstances that the division is under. However, this is not a matter of what we strictly need, but rather a matter of fulfilling untapped potential. <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/11-thomasdavid097/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="11" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/11-thomasdavid097/" id="ips_uid_1951_6" rel="">@Thomasdavid097</a> is sufficient to simply maintain the division, but the addition of a second division leader means that expansion within the division will be a much smoother process.</span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<span style="color:#ffd700;">It would also be prudent of me to note that our TS3 server has a new rule page. <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/504-skittlezexz/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="504" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/504-skittlezexz/" id="ips_uid_1951_9" rel="">@SkittlezExZ</a> wrote a rule page that <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/4-dano/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="4" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/4-dano/" id="ips_uid_1951_8" rel="">@Dano</a> and I edited in order to create a detailed guide to the rules (and the related punishments) that exist within our TS3 server. It also briefly details the purpose of several ranks within <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr>, as well as providing some helpful links.</span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<span style="color:#ffd700;">The TS3 rules have always been available in the description of the lobby. <img alt="pfrit54.png" class="ipsImage" src="https://gflclan.com/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" data-src="http://i.imgur.com/pfrit54.png"></span>

<p>
	<meta charset="utf-8"><meta charset="utf-8"><meta charset="utf-8"></p>

<p>
	Good morning, afternoon, and evening, <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr>! Today, I’m pleased to announce our new affiliation with Humble Bundle!    
</p>

<p>
	<br>
	Humble Bundle is an online shopping service for video games, similar to that of Steam. However, it differs from other digital storefronts in that it often allows users to buy bundles containing several games for a great price (thus the name Humble Bundle). Humble Bundle has been around since 2010 and has provided gamers with a variety of options to choose from. Humble Bundle often provides low pricing for games, and the money is split between charitable causes and the game developers. <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> and Humble Bundle have now become affiliate partners, and we expect to benefit greatly from this. With such a large and generous community, we could greatly increase sales for Humble Bundle, while also providing our community with a great outlet to some of the best games out there in addition to generating funding for the <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> servers. Check out the Humble Bundle site, <a href="http://www.humblebundle.com" rel="external nofollow">www.humblebundle.com</a>, and get yourself a bundle of games for great prices!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	To start the community off with some great deals, here are the current listings we have, including this month’s Humble Monthly and another additional bundle:<br>
	February Humble Monthly Link: <a href="https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly?partner=gflclan&amp;charity=159423" rel="external nofollow">https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly?partner=gflclan&amp;charity=159423</a>
</p>

<p>
	<br>
	FINE PRESENTS Bundle:<br><a href="https://www.humblebundle.com/games/double-fine-presents?partner=gflclan&amp;charity=159423" rel="external nofollow">https://www.humblebundle.com/games/double-fine-presents?partner=gflclan&amp;charity=159423</a><br>
	Please note that prices on bundles are adjustable and the funds are able to be allocated to the developers, charities, or <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> as a whole. Because of our affiliation, whenever a <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> member purchases Humble Monthly for the first time ever using our affiliate link, <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> will receive $10 back. We’ve also received the benefit of a standard 15% cashback on any bundle, which can be changed by allocating the funds differently as mentioned earlier. Lastly, we'll also make 5% off of any games you buy in the store within 24 hours of clicking our links if it says "Thank you for supporting <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr>" at the top and at checkout (Humble partner). It may seem a little confusing, but you can’t say no to all these great deals!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Also, there is currently a Humble Bundle winter sale going on now. If you were unsure of buying a game before, you might be able to find it discounted now while also giving back to the <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> community! A lot of great deals can still be taken during this time period while giving back to the community. The winter sale will end at January 24th, 10AM PST / 1PM EST. The partnership with Humble Bundle was created in order for both partners to benefit greatly. By partnering with Humble Bundle, we’ve not only allow our large community to flock to their site with a demand for games to buy, but we’ve also provided the community with a great opportunity to score some great deals while also helping the community meet its monthly server expenses. Hopefully, you’ll all enjoy these generous sales!

<p>
	Hello!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	In honor of <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr>'s 10th anniversary, we are happy to announce the return of permanent VIP ranks. If you intend to purchase VIP frequently, this is the way to do it! For just <strong>$79.99</strong>, you will gain <strong>VIP</strong> perks on our servers<em> </em>for as long as <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> remains in operation. We're only going to be offering this for a <strong>limited time</strong>, however, so if you think you might be interested in this, be sure to act before <strong>February 3, 2021</strong>. The benefits of VIP vary throughout <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr>, but, in general, you can expect the following perks:
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<ul><li>
		A reserved slot, which allows you to join servers that are full
	</li>
	<li>
		Gaining access to certain VIP only events and servers
	</li>
	<li>
		Custom chat tags in game
	</li>
	<li>
		Player models and skins
	</li>
	<li>
		A forum tag
	</li>
	<li>
		The ability to skip the queue on our rust servers
	</li>
	<li>
		A custom Discord tag
	</li>
</ul><p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Purchasing permanent VIP is just as easy as purchasing normal VIP.
</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	In order to purchase VIP, enter any amount into the amount field (at least $1.50), select VIP, and check the box that says "Purchase permanent VIP ($79.99)." You will be sent to paypal to pay the one time price of $79.99. Once everything is all said and done, your VIP should be working immediately. If you're currently on a games server, you will need to rejoin first.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	(<strong>NOTE: Due to a visual bug, it will say that you are donating the amount you entered in the text box and will receive VIP for a certain amount of days. As long as you have the Purchase permanent VIP option checked, the next page will display the correct summary.</strong>)
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	If you have any issues with VIP after having purchased it, please post a topic <a href="https://gflclan.com/forums/forum/140-donation-issues/?do=add" rel="">here</a> describing your issue, and I will work to get it resolved for you as soon as possible! If you have any questions or concerns, please message myself or <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/1028-liloz01/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="1028" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/1028-liloz01/" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(178,34,34)">Liloz01</span></a>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Thanks for the great many years so far and we hope to share many more with y'all! <img alt=":furretlove:" data-emoticon="true" src="//gflusercontent.gflclan.com/file/forums-prod/emoticons/furretlove32.png" title=":furretlove:"></p>

	Hello everyone! 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I'm pleased to announce that we have officially expanded to Europe once more. Starting with a beginner Surf Timer server, our ultimate goal is going to be to essentially mirror all things Surf Timer from region to region, so this is just a start. This server is pretty much a blank copy of our #1 server, and that is intentional. Just like we have #1-#5 US servers, we plan on following the same recipe with our EU servers.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Not much else to say. I know this has been teased for a while, and we were planning on doing this much sooner, but better late than never.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Feel free to add the server to your favorites. 
</p>

<p>
	145.239.136.254

<p>
	Hello!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	We're going to be launching new Garry's Mod server in Europe on Friday the 8th at 21:00 BST as a part of our European expansion. The server is very similar to the existing TTT Anarchy NA server and will largely share a codebase with it, with an occasional difference or two. We've recruited many current and former Anarchy NA staff to help us run the new server, including <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/63449-sophie~-%E2%99%A1/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="63449" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/63449-sophie~-%E2%99%A1/" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(30,233,227)">Sophie~ ♡</span></a>, who will manage the server alongside me.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	As apart of the launch, we're going to be hosting an event. We'll play a full map that will be determined by myself and Sophie on the day of the event and the 3 players with the highest score will be rewarded with VIP and Supporter.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	On the day of the event, you will be able to connect to the server by searching for <abbr title="Games For Life"><abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr></abbr> in the TTT section of the server browser or by clicking the following link: <a href="http://gfl.gs/ttt5/connect" ipsnoembed="true" rel="external nofollow">http://<abbr title="Games For Life"><abbr title="Games For Life">gfl</abbr></abbr>.gs/ttt5/connect</a>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	We hope to see you there! <img alt=":pikajoy:" data-emoticon="true" loading="lazy" src="//gflusercontent.gflclan.com/file/forums-prod/emoticons/pikajoy.png" title=":pikajoy:">

	I am happy to announce that we have officially released our CS:GO TTT server. <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/30937-dominic/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="30937" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/30937-dominic/" id="ips_uid_3031_6" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(30,233,227)">Dominic</span></a> and <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/44442-zayne/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="44442" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/44442-zayne/" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(29,163,196)">Zayne</span></a> have been hard at work setting this server up and running with the support of the rest of the CS:GO Leadership. Zayne unfortunately had to leave us because of personal reasons, but we recognize the work he did and appreciate it nonetheless. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	We also want to thank all of the people who tested this server with us prior to the release! 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	With this we have also made a Discord for our TTT players. If you'd like to join, please do so! <a href="https://discord.gg/aPKDdn7" ipsnoembed="true" rel="external nofollow">https://discord.gg/aPKDdn7</a>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The rules to the server can be found here:  
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	And of course, feel free to connect to the server. Here's the IP: 92.119.148.43
</p>

<p>
	We look forward to seeing feedback, and you can give that in the subforum as well as in the Discord server should you wish to do so.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Also, with this server's release we will be doing a VIP giveaway. How do you enter, you ask? Within a weeks time of the server being up we will be giving a maximum of 3 people VIP for a month <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> wide that have over 12 hours of playtime. Should more than 3 people surpass that number, it will be down to a raffle as to which 3 win. If you surpass the 12 hour mark, do the !playtime command in-game and send it to either myself or Dominic on Discord and you'll have a chance to get VIP.

	Hello,
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	We've recently purchased a new web machine as a bit of an upgrade to our web01. This is the machine that runs the website, SourceBans, GFLBans, some of our Discord bots, and some other things. The service for the old machine ends on the 15th of March, so we'll need to have moved everything over by then. This will require a bit of downtime. Currently, I have the following Windows planned:
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<strong>GFLClan.com</strong> - Feb 17, 2022 @ 23.00 CDT - Feb 18, 2022 @ 2.00 CDT
</p>

<p>
	<strong>SourceBans (Main and ZE)</strong>, <strong>GFLBans</strong> - Feb 19, 2022 @ 23.00 - Feb 20, 2022 @ 2.00 CDT
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Discord Bots (Mod Bot and Role Sync) - </strong>Feb 22, 2022<strong> </strong>@ 23.00 - Feb 23, 2022 @ 2.00 CDT
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Pterodactyl, GMOD Loading Screens, FastDL Browser </strong>- Feb 24, 2022 @ 23.00 - Feb 25, 2022 @ 2.00 CDT
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Server Hopper Update Scripts, Old VPN Daemon, </strong><strong>GS Ranks API, Discord Relay Service, Anarchy Avatars</strong> (check if still needed?) - Feb 26, 2022 @ 23.00 - Feb 27, 2022 @ 2.00
</p>

<p>
	<br>
	I am going to not transfer the following services (they will be either discontinued or remade):
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	- Grafana / Loki / Prometheus
</p>

<p>
	- Kibana / ElasticSearch / Logstash (this is not the one Dreae maintains)
</p>

<p>
	- NextCloud (If you have data on this that you would like, please contact me before the first)
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	After the last things are moved off on the 27th, I'm going to turn off the machine so I can find anything that I might have forgotten earlier.
</p>

<p>

<p>
	<span style="color:#00ccff;"><strong><span style="font-size:16px;">The New Media Team</span></strong></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/1-roy/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="1" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/1-roy/" rel="">@<span style="color:#FF0000;">Roy</span></a> has always envisioned <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> growing to be as large as it <em>can</em> be. In accordance with this, we have been searching for ways to expand <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> through various mediums.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><font color="#f1c40f">After mulling over a base idea that was originally proposed by <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/241-joshy/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="241" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/241-joshy/" rel="">@<span style="color:#1da3c4;">Joshy</span></a>, we have decided to reform the Creative Team into the Media Team. This team bears many similarities with the old Media Team in that it is split between two subsets. One of these is the already existing GFX Team, which will largely remain the same in its structure. The second subset is the Marketing Team, which will be responsible for the act of "marketing" (hence the name) <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> through outside channels. This differs from the previous Media Team in that they—the members—are not solely bound by the social media platforms that <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> has already established. The new focus is to be <em>proactive,</em> rather than <em>reactive.</em> Despite only being established in their own right for a short duration, the event coordinators will also be absorbed into this new subset.</font></span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><font color="#f1c40f">As the teams currently stand, they are led by <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/396-bae/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="396" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/396-bae/" rel="">@<span style="color:#c73569;">Bae</span></a> (GFX) and <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/4361-duc2000/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="4361" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/4361-duc2000/" rel="">@<span style="color:#45da4a;">Duc2000</span></a> (Marketing).

	<span style="color:#00ccff;"><strong><span style="font-size:16px;">CS:GO &amp; Division Leaders</span></strong></span>
</p>

<p>
	<font color="#f1c40f">We realise that some of you have expressed concern for the lack of division leaders for our CS:GO division. This is doubtlessly a valid concern, although you can rest assured that two potential new division leaders are coming through the pipeline. These two are already being put through their paces by showcasing and discussing their plans with the directors.</font>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<font color="#f1c40f">In the past, we often carried the tendency to hastily promote people to fill the void left in some of our higher positions. This is something we have recently been trying to stray from in pursuit of a more "quality over quantity" atmosphere, which means that such lapses in present leadership may become more commonplace as a consequence. The intended end benefit is to have trained division leaders with more motivation for the role, rather than individuals who are mediocre and merely have the position for the sake of eliminating vacancies.</font>
