The website login problems should now be fixed.
They where found to be caused by an outdated antispam script.

Updates to the website:-

The forum should now support gravatars, untested let me know how that goes :)

Reorganisation of documents and FAQ’s. Where possible documents have moved to the forum for easier navigation, redundant documents have been purged. I apologise for spamming the forum.

Redesign of the forum structure, this again was for easier navigation.

Cool new feature added where forum links display a thumb nail of the target website - works better in firefox.

In the next few weeks we will look into other ways of simplifying the main website navigation.

Half-Life 2 pre-loading begins to Steam account holders. Over the coming days, those who have selected the pre-loading option will have encrypted Half-Life 2 files delivered to their PC. No purchase is required to pre-load HL2, but is required to activate the game. Purchase options will be released soon. Then, the moment the game is made available, those who have pre-loaded and purchased Half-Life 2 via Steam will be authenticated and ready to start playing.

I have made a Service Release of the Adminmod Mulitkill plugin for DMC.
This version compensates for the differences in the DMC Pro scoring model.
Only Server admins running the current multikill plugin on DMC Pro Servers need get this replacement file.

Today we succefully finished the migration of Player Stats to hlstats version 1.31.... yes that means no stats data was lost :)
The new version has a slightly different look but still retains the same initiative feel of the older versions. Some of you may also notice that the game server info page has a new style and contains even more info such as number of bots/ players, server plugins as well as the active players.
The only downside is that we have now lost the /best3 function from within the game but for a 80% reduction in SQL querys used by the /skill function, it was probably worth the loss.
Note: Please update your links as the stats are now in a new location

The -=[BaF]Master=- Server is currently offline due to failure of its APC (remote power switch). This should be replace tomorrow evening (uk time), until then the server will be down.

We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

In the past few days player stats have been enabled on the FLAG RUN >> Rune CTF Server. All the usual things are being recorded such as Flag events, Kills, Suicides and Power ups. Some players may of already noticed the new Top 5 player section on the front page of Free-Fall.
This server has for some time now featured all the fun of Runes... and now has the added bonus of Stats :)
