FYI: A security issue was recently discovered in beta x86-64 GMod branch which is required to play on this server. Facepunch is currently unwilling or unable to update this branch and patch it. Winter has patched the issue in the GModCEFCodecFix module; please re-verify your game file integrity and then reinstall it from https://github.com/solsticegamestudios/GModCEFCodecFix/releases/

While this issue has been addressed, the wider issue of the x86-64/chromium branch no longer receiving updates remains a major issue. Hopefully, this security issue will be enough to press Facepunch into supporting this branch again.

New developer & my future with this community

I'm excited to announce that we're adding another developer, code_gs, to our team! He is an excellent developer and a true legend of Garry's Mod - even having worked at Facepunch for a time - and I'm honored to have him working to build our community!

A few months ago we also added Winterphoenix96, a veteran of the Cinema gamemode and close personal friend of mine, to our core development team. And of course, we also have Pyroteknik and Brian working on a big map update which will get done eventually (source engine limits & burnout have been holding it up)

I'd also like to make a statement about my personal future with this server. Since the very beginning, I have always been the primary developer and administrator, doing the vast majority of the work personally. For several years, I've poured my creative energy into this project and have always been the one which all responsibility ultimately falls on.

As time has gone on, the server has evolved from being a weird little hobby of mine to something that I truly care about. It's caused me to become much more perfectionistic with my work, especially recently, but this has taken a toll on me personally.

Going forward, at least for a while, I'll be stepping back from the server. I'm not quitting, but I won't be as closely involved with administration or development, at least for a while. We've built a great team that I trust will keep this server going - please direct any server-related concerns to them in the future and not to me personally.

I've come to realize that the amount of energy I have been putting into this has been limiting me in other ways in my life. Distancing myself from this community will give me far more energy to invest in my real-life relationships and passions. As much as I value Swamp and want it to succeed, I also very much need to balance out my life.

For at least the next few months, I'll be pursuing my true passion: DUBSTEP

The end of an era

The events of the past year have led me to reflect on how we run the server and the effect that our policies have on the general quality of people who are attracted to our community.

I'm announcing a major change to the rules. This was not an easy decision to make, and I'm well aware that some of you will be disappointed by this.

Going forward, racial slurs and other hate speech will no longer be allowed. I do not want to see any more N slurs or swastika sprays in our community. We’ll still allow occasional edgy jokes, but by and large this sort of offensive-for-the-sake-of-it conduct is not going to be tolerated any longer.

I don’t intend to turn the server into a hypersensitive safe space, and I feel that this change won’t be an issue to the majority of our users. Some of you, however, will have to learn to let go of your “racist edgelord” identity if you still care to be a part of our community.

This just isn't who we are anymore. It's immature, it's not right, and most importantly, it’s not conducive to building a decent community. We just have to be better.

(this change is required by facepunch because our new ddos protection shows a very low ping)

Proclamation on World Autism Awareness Day

A declaration from OUR PRESIDENT in 2020:

World Autism Awareness Day is a tribute to the millions of Americans living with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Their numerous triumphs over many and varied obstacles are a testament to the strength and resolve of the American spirit. We also extend our gratitude to all those who, through their unwavering dedication to supporting Americans with ASD, help empower them to thrive at home, in the workplace, and in their communities.

As President, I am committed to ensuring all Americans with ASD can thrive and prosper. Last year, I was proud to sign into law legislation reauthorizing the Autism CARES Act, approving more than $1.8 billion in funding over 5 years to research and develop new treatments and therapies, and enhancing support services for those with ASD throughout their entire lives. This legislation also expanded the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee to include representatives from 17 Federal agencies and stakeholders from throughout the autism community. The enhanced public-private partnerships made possible by these efforts are providing support to those with ASD.

Early detection and treatment play essential roles in optimizing the lives of people with ASD. To assist in making every resource available to these individuals during the most critical developmental stage of their life, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently awarded more than $4 million to research, develop, and validate screening tools that detect signs of ASD during the first year of life. NIH has also awarded more than $36 million to enhance healthcare providers’ expertise in caring for Americans with ASD. This funding is vital to those living with ASD, expanding opportunities to live lives full of meaning and joy.

Approximately 1 in every 59 American children lives with ASD. That means that approximately 500,000 of our Nation’s young people who turn 18 over the next decade enter adulthood with ASD. My Administration, along with coordinated efforts at the State and local levels, is committed to providing opportunities to assist in their successful transition into rewarding careers and fulfilling lives. Through the Department of Labor’s Youth Policy Development Center and the Apprenticeship Inclusion Model initiative, we are expanding opportunities for Americans with ASD to develop high-demand skills that pair with good-paying jobs. Additionally, the Department of Housing and Urban Development has allocated more than $110 million to increase the availability of affordable and reliable housing models to enable individuals with disabilities, including ASD, to live independently.

Today, we join with the international ASD community in reaffirming our resolve to support all those with ASD as they continue to strengthen our families, our communities, our Nation, and the world. Together, we will work to promote more meaningful connections of respect and build a society where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim April 2, 2020, as World Autism Awareness Day. I call upon all Americans to learn more about the signs of autism to improve early diagnosis, understand the challenges faced by individuals with autism, and find ways to support those with autism and their families.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
first day of April, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fourth.

DONALD J. TRUMP

Sadly, Steam Chat is just not maintained or active.

Valve really needs to get their act together. There are too many glaring bugs in Steam community. One really bad one is if you make a steam chat group, you can't set the icon anymore, it just says "server error". Been like that for months.

Another really bad bug in Steam community is that group announcements (like this one) no longer appear on people's screens, making them kinda useless. You only see it through Steam chat because we have a bot that echoes them.
