said, the update is causing some issues for clients including crashing upon joining a server. Unfortunately, this looks to be a bug introduced by the steam update. As it is an update related issue, Valve may need to make a correction before clients having difficulty can join the server in question. Additionally, after the update, server queries through tools like HLSW are are reporting hl1 based games as running on the source engine. This too, is a product of the recent update.

This msg may be modified at any time, this msg is fake! As steam would never contact by pm/im or chat/voice invite!

Due to server hardware problems we have tranfered everthing to a new server... this means new server ip address.. the forums are back online and are stable plz re reg if you havent already done so.
Server ip 8.3.29.123:27015

I have been to the steam area and this is a hoax since you can not tranfer files through steam but be ware of links and dont add random invites either!
