The Play Responsibly Club has split, and most of the regular members are now part of the Fair Play Society. Because the server admins are part of the group that have moved over, all the servers we used to run for the PRC have been moved to the FPS. Other parts of the site will also be moved over shortly.

Monday, November 9th, 2009Network Trouble – All Clear
Friday, September 25th, 2009Last night, the network that this server sits on was having a lot of trouble. There was random packet loss throughout the evening getting worse and worse over time, so I took the decision to shut down the L4D servers to prevent disappointment.
Apparently a Cisco router had a bad memory leak which caused lots of trouble, though emergency maintenance which should have take 45 mins to fix the problem dragged into the early hours of the night as the updated software version created a whole new world of hurt.
Everything appears to be fine now, and the L4D servers are all back up and running again now.
Update: The network trouble is far from over. The ISP that provides the connectivity is having major trouble with its networking equipment and connectivity is still shaky at best. The L4D servers have been shut down for the moment until things get better. Sorry folks!
Update: The network is now much more stable and the servers are back up. However, I’m told to expect a little more downtime later on in time for a final fix for things, so please beware.
Update: The ISP has now given the all-clear, so things should be completely back to normal. Phew.
HLstatsX enabled again
Thursday, September 17th, 2009I’ve re-enabled HLstatsX:CE with a configuration setting set so that it no longer queries the servers via rcon. This means that it can continue logging game progress—and thus keep tabs on players—without crashing the Left 4 Dead servers.
Server Downtime Tonight (16th Sep)
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009Update: The server has now moved and everything is back up and running. It was down from 23:40 to 00:50.
The server that hosts this web site and the PRC L4D serversis being moved to a new facility tonight between 22:00 and 05:00 tomorrow. The server will go down at some point between those times and should be down for less than 2 hours, although the game servers will be unavailable until some time later in the morning.
Welcome
Friday, September 4th, 2009Welcome, everyone, to the Left 4 Dead Play Responsibly Club’s brand-new web site. Since we are growing fast and up to now have not had a proper presence on the intertubes, I (bootc) thought it was high time that we should set something up.
The PRC is a group of people who play Left 4 Dead for the fun and enjoyment of the game, and pride ourselves on the quality of our games. For more information, see our About page or join our Steam group, which is where games get organised.
This site is definitely still in its infancy and we need people who can build a theme for the site and write some content. We are also in the process of building a forum where group members can hang out and perhaps use it to schedule tournaments in future.
If you wish to volunteer, please post a comment on this post or join us in chat.
