Starting today, donators will get bonus credits at 7 am GMT (8 am when not on daylight savings).

The amount of credits you will get will be based on how many days you have left on your donation status. This is the current formula.

• Days Left / 30
• Rounded up
• Times 200

There will be a maximum of 2000 per day for now.

Examples

• 1 day left = 200 credits
• 31 days left = 400 credits
• 300 days left = 2000 credits

We've been contemplating the best way to give more credits to donators, and we felt this was the best compromise with fairness and convenience instead of giving it all up front or a percentage bonus. Credits gained this way will not count in contests.

However we reserve the right to change the amount of credits gained, the cap, or even switch it out for another system. I don't expect to change this much, but you never know what unexpected issues may happen. So please do not donate if this is the only reason you want to.

It has come to our attention that there have been complaints about random server reloads

This is actually not because our servers are bad, it is because it automatically reloaded to prevent a crash due to a bug that Valve has not fixed.

The reason why this happens is because there is a limit on the number of unique items that can be used on each map change. Unfortunately Valve does not remove unused entries, so it is very easy to hit the limit, and when the server does, it crashes and kicks everyone from the server.

This bug has been around for years, but was rarely a problem before because people had fewer unique items, so this only happened about once a week instead of once a day.

In an attempt to make reloads more tolerable, the server will now make an announcement when approaching the item limit and attempt to reload on the next cap. However if the server gets too close to the limit, it will reload in 10 seconds. For trade and idle maps, it will reload in 10 seconds since...
