| Legalization! Ralphy will now trust everyone, and also respond to !weed. |

| Team balancing changes implemented, should cut down on people who stack the teams. |

| 04/01/11 |
| To address player concerns about 'skilless grenade spam', all grenades (except for the grenade launcher) have been removed from the game. |

Teleporter arrows -->
They point in the direction the teleporter goes.
The length/size of the arrow shows how far the teleporter will send you.
If it has a tail, it shows how far up or down the exit is. |

| D2F has changed hosting providers, and is now at 174.142.98.78:27015 |

| Server is having some hardware issues. It should be able to make it through the weekend, and then expect for it to be down starting monday for a while. More info... |
|
| 10/23/07 |
| The automated entity running the server would like you to know that it is halloween. Just Friday Friendly Fire now too. |
|
| 04/07/07 |
| Spring arrived earlier this week, and the easter egg hunt begins today |
|
| 02/28/07 |
| Friendly fire days are Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. There is a map with users on the site plotted, just for fun. |
|
| 11/27/06 |
| Winter is finally here. Your beloved snowballs are back. |
|
| 10/23/06 |
| Halloween arrives, full blown. |
|
| 04/17/06 |
| The easter egg hunt ends. Ranks are posted here. The rankings are weighted by the percentage of eggs you found that you could have found -- making the playing field a bit more even for those that couldnt dedicate their entire weekend to finding eggs. |
|
| 04/15/06 |
| The easter egg hunt begins! |
|
| 04/12/06 |
| Fashionably late, Spring arrives. |
|
| 11/24/05 |
| Give thanks, for a good grenade shipment came in! |
|
| 11/11/05 |
| New default page theme: Winter Night. Also, the 'default' theme has never been selectable. |
|
| 11/07/05 |
| New grenades finally arrived. I had to go through some rather unsavory
channels for these, so they better be worth it! |
|
| 11/03/05 |
| So someone screwed up the monthly supply shipment for the server,
as a result grenade rationing is in effect. You still get the standard amount when you spawn,
but the grenade bags are rationed to only give out one normal grenade. We are into alternative
grenade sources, so please bear with us! |
|
| 09/23/05 |
| Forums have been updated, a couple bug fixes, you can
now delete threads you start (if nobody else has posted in them), and you
can create polls. A poll of note is up regarding Spawn
Camping/Spamming that may change the rule! A F.A.Q. has also been put in place of the Admins/Info
page that answers a lot of common questions on the servers. |
|
| 09/19/05 |
| Server has moved to the new host, IP is 82.165.180.10,
or you can connect via hl.qlad.net if you dont have an old ip cached for
that address. |
|
| 07/08/05 |
Forums have been changed a bit. If you use something other than the default theme and notice some out-of-place colors, let me know here.
There is a standard 50 threads to a page now. You can click on a thread cell (not on an actual link) to go to the newest unread post. If there are no unread posts, it goes to the beginning of the thread. You can hide threads you have already read.
The threads older than two months are archived. The link to get to them doesnt work yet, so you will have to go a weekend without them. |
|
| 05/09/05 |
The companion to the new Spring Day theme is finished. It is named, of all things, Spring Night.
Oh, but haven't you heard, Spring Night is the new default.
If you want the old default, you will need to log in and set your theme to 'Simple - Blue on Black'
|
|
| 05/06/05 |
There is a new SpringDay theme, which is essentially GreenWhite with a new layout. Bonus server graphs on the news page for anyone using it.
The Experimental theme is also similar, except with a modified BlueBlack theme, and its subject to change and breakage. |
|
| 03/25/04 |
| On eggs and lag: Spring arrives, with grass and rain.
The rain is a bit bandwidth intensive, so if you have broadband make sure your connection
speed is set right in steam, or do 'rate 20000' in console. Otherwise, dont go outside when
its raining hard.
The easter egg hunt is a bit different this year. In addition to the usual hidden eggs, there are eggs that are in plain sight, albeit somewhat difficult to reach. |

| In a survey by the Pew Internet and American Life Project, 29 percent of respondents reported reducing their use of e-mail because of spam, and more than three-quarters, 77 percent, labeled the act of being online "unpleasant and annoying." |
|
| 11/29/04 |
| Winter approaches. Someone found a leafblower. There is connection music, as well as limited event music.
Has your bashing of teammates and unrequited personal attacks on random players netted you more bad karma than a small dictatorship?
Do something good for the holidays and pay for some dying child to envision the next tfc.

| 11/02/04 |
| WOLF won the admin vote! New gallery is up, with categories for player screenshots, screenshots, and player photos. You can submit your own pictures by clicking 'Upload File' in the login menu after you log in. |
|
| 10/29/04 |
| Halloween arrives with spiders, ghosts, and pumpkins. Pumpkins regenerate armor, and can be picked up and
carried so long as you make a kill every 2 minutes at least. You can drop them like a flag (by default, press c). You will also
drop them on death |
|
| 10/07/04 |
| Admin voting! Place your vote for an admin in-game and I'll take the winners under consideration around November 2nd or so. Not a guarantee but pretty damn likely you will get at least a trial if you win!
You can vote by saying "!voteadmin (name)" in public chat for your choice. They have to be playing when you do, and you can change your vote whenever you want. |
|
| 10/05/04 |
Spiders are back.
Leaves reduced outside, but now there is a leaf effect whenever you kill someone.
Forums work properly for showing new posts now.
New infection icon. |
|
| 09/28/04 |
| Autumn is here, lots o' leaves. Dolly packed up and left for the winter (no more sheep nukes). Real-time sky textures are back. |
|
| 08/10/04 |
| Added the ability to see new messages in the forums. Pills are renamed just for fun. |
|
| 07/28/04 |
| Added sheep nukes to the server. Pills are changed to give an offense advantage, its easier to get and keep pills when you are in the enemy base, and conversely harder in your own base. |
|
| 07/21/04 |
 Server is moved over to STEAM. Everything appears to be working OK.
|
|
| 07/16/04 |
| The page for switching your WON ID to your STEAM ID is finished. Click Here to access it, and instructions can be found in this forum post. I also fixed the STD experiement stats lookup. |
|
| 07/13/04 |
| Important info concerning the move to steam here. In summary, I'm hoping to convert D2F to steam on Wednesday the 21st. Yes you can keep your stats. More info on that soon. The image gallery has a new option to choose image size. |
|
| 07/02/04 |
| Happy Fourth of July weekend. Sheep powered fireworks added to the server, along with new Basement LightSwitch Rave and Basement Laser Show events. |
|
| 06/18/04 |
| Forum subtitles are finally finished. Only took 6 months. Forums have a couple new features as well, a preview ability and last post links.
Dolly has appeared around the server again. Try and be nice. |
|
| 06/10/04 |
| You can see your donation history in your preferences if you
have donated.
Added 'flag touches' to all class stat pages.
Did some more work on the forum subtitles, see
this forum post
for details. |
|
| 06/07/04 |
| Server #2 is down again, see that news page for more info.
I've taken all the donations over the past year and a half and put it in a database,
which is long overdue. Donators get a special little icon now on their stats page.
If you have mailed a donation, please let me know when you did, as the trail on those
donations isnt nearly as good as the online ones. Also some of the donators I have
been unable to figure out. I emailed the ones I could, but if think you should have
a donation icon on your stats, or have it on the wrong uniqueid, just
email me.
The donations page has been redone with some stats,
auto-updating account balance, and top 10 donator list. |
|
| 05/11/04 |
| Server #2 is back up, more info on the Admins/Info Page. Now with casbah and avanti. The stats page for it has been brought up to date with the rest of the site. If you lose your login while going to the #2 stats/news page, log out and then log back in to fix it. |
|
| 05/04/04 |
| Various things around the site have been changed to look
better. Forums got some new icons, plus threads over 60 days old are automatically
locked. Ranking tables visually redone. Also, theres a new option in your
preferences (when you login) for page theme. Only two options available right now,
but now you people that are too depressed by the dark page can view it differently. |
|
| 04/20/04 |
| Spring is progressing. Added detpacks defused stats to the website (check under the scout and demoman pages). Added your last ban date/time, length, and reason to your preferences page if you have your uniqueid assigned. |
|
| 04/16/04 |
| Kill to death ratio rankings have been tweaked to prevent abuse. Requirements are now over 100 deaths instead of 500 kills. Deaths also include suicides. |
|
| 03/22/04 |
A STEAM version of D2F is up at hl2.qlad.net:27015
Its pretty much the same as the WON D2F, and uses the same stat database,
which means the same rankings and stats pages, etc.
Soon I will finish up the conversion program so that you can convert your
stats from WON to STEAM. |
|
| 03/16/04 |
Happy St Patrick's day.
Players are green.
Ralphy serves up only irish beer.
Fixed Rainbow Players.
|
|
| 03/05/04 |
| Lots of new rankings
are now available, as promised. Also made some minor changes to forum title
displays, page colors, and added a couple new stats in general. |
|
| 03/04/04 |
| Rankings should be working again now. All ranking
tables are the same speed, theres no limitation on the number of ranks I can
create, they are in realtime instead of every three hours, and they properly
count ties. I will probably be adding more ranks in the near future. If
you have an idea for one,
post it here.
There are some new page viewing options on preferences if you have logged
in.
|
|
| 02/25/04 |
| Database moved over as well, stats should be back to
normal speed. Yay for self contained servers. |
|
| 02/24/04 |
| Moved website to the server machine. Stats will be a
bit slower since its accessing those over the internet now. Everything else
should be working ok, but let me know if there are any errors still coming
up. |
|
| 02/06/04 |
| Upped the requirements on some of the ranking pages. Working on adding the HWGuy titles. |
|
| 02/05/04 |
| Pre-spring cleaning Rainbow players was still acting up, so I disabled it for now. New logo just for fun. And all is well in drippyland. |
|
| 01/05/03 |
| Some lamer hit 100,000 deaths too |
|
| 12/31/03 |
| Happy new year. Congrats to $layer on being the first to reach 100,000 kills. |
|
| 12/01/03 |
| There is snow. There has been for a while |
|
| 10/17/03 |
 Halloween decorations are up, all of last years plus a new
little suprise from dark places. |
|
| 10/15/03 |
| Added forums to the site, the ability to login (soon
you will be able to tie a uniqueid to this, and sometime be able to upload pictures). Also a
long awaited explanation of The STD Experiment.
Moved some of the links over to a Misc page. |
|
| 09/19/03 |
| Kyree made a Pictures page for
people that play on the server, a lot of the current regulars are over there, so take a look. |
|
| 08/26/03 |
| Dolly is back, shes a little pissy though, and will bite anyone that comes near.
She is also capable of calling in sheep strikes, so give her some respect, eh?
Here is a zip file with all the server addons
in it. Extract, with paths, to your half-life directory if you dont want to download them through HL.
I've purchased dedicated hosting for the server. Its moved over. Right
now its being covered using the existing donations left over from when I bought the server, and should be
able to get by on that for a few months. But, now there is a use for new
donations |
|
| 07/01/03 |
Happy Canada Day or something. I found this about 4 miles from my house.
|
|
| 06/16/03 |
| Give your unfs to these people, they lost 7 months of stats:
Downrange, Moumou, [GHOST]Maxis, Baphomet, i.kill, [d2f]Kalani, [PvT]Winston Cow[d2f],

| A Qwest cable was cut, bringing down phone lines and circuits for the city
that the server is hosted in. Absolutely no communication in or out except for sporadic cell service.
Exceptionally good timing for such an outage. |
|
| 03/10/03 |
| Server is now on an Athlon 2600+ w/ 512MB DDR 333 RAM. |
|
| 02/18/03 |
| Wuhu came back a week later, but the damage was done already. Thanks to the donations, the server is
now up and running on a Athlon 1900+ machine. Pings seem to be looking much better. Some problems initially with heating
issues but that should be taken care of now. |
|
| 02/06/03 |
| Ralphy ran off with wuhu. Without her mostly pure presence, 2fort sunk
closer to hell, causing perpetual darkness outside, and a warmer climate.
On the other hand I dont think anyone will miss Ralphy. Infections are more
potent so close to the curse of mankind, no longer do they merely cover the
body in a yellow glow, but now coagulate near the head.
Over 80,000 players since June 2001. |
|
| 01/14/03 |
| Stats page is finished for now. I may add randompc or more rankings after some code revisions, due to some
limitations I ran into with MySQL. There is an unbalanced skill system in the server now, you can see it with !skill and by
doing !hud until it shows there. I will now give commands with your name if you donate, see the donations
page for more info, I also came across a processor, and soon probably a hd for it. QLAD is released for those of you interested in customizing your server like I have. Most of the stuff I run
is included in the default configs. It is pretty easily customizable as to what features you want to have running. Though, at the
moment, documentation, especially for the scripting language, is somewhat lacking. |
|
| 11/26/02 |
| Stats page is coming along, and pretty much all old features and a couple new ones are in the server. Pills
are back, with the change that !give and idle pills are distributed to everyone instead of a random person. Some of the ratios are
also different. I added rankings for select things to the stats page. Very interesting stuff. Concerning rankings, I will never
add a ranking category that could possibly give people incentive to disrupt gameplay (most infections passed, most suicides, most
caps, etc.). More to come in this area. |
|
| 10/26/02 |
| Most of the bugs are worked out, and most features are back in. Still some to do though, hopefully
will finish next week. Meanwhile, I lied, and I moved over the stats for further development
here. |
|
| 10/23/02 |
| Introduced QLAD to the server. Things will likely be broken for the next week or so, while I get
bugs worked out, and scripts completed. Not all customizations that were there will still be, and
there are changes in commands (!stat and !score and !tstat and !tscore make sense now!).
See realtime stats at http://www.qlad.net/webstat -- This will be moved
over when complete. If there are any major stat bugs, I may need to revert back to todays stats in the
database. You have been warned. |
|
| 07/11/02 |
| Made some tweaks to the pill system, reduced the pills gained in hunting and via presents by 50%.
I also changed it so when you lose pills from being idle, they go away instead of going to a random
person. Go get your free slurpee. |
|
| 07/8/02 |
| Added the Hunting system. See the customizations section. |
|
| 04/25/02 |
| Upgraded to the latest Halflife server. |
|
| 04/11/02 |
| Dolly has made it back home. She is being kept in a safe location and isnt being cloned again just yet. |
|
| 04/5/02 |
| Server has moved to a new machine. 204.134.205.124:27015. This should fix 99% of the lag issues. |
|
| 04/1/02 |
| The Easter egg hunt is over.
| First Place: | Meakster with 50 eggs |
| Second Place: | $andman with 40 eggs |
| Third Place: | DirtyDawg with 29 eggs |
|
|

Added urinals to the forts. Added a couple new 
Dolly has been kidnapped! I received the ransom note earlier this week:
