Hey guys and girls,

So, there haven't been many updates recently (apologies!) so I thought I'd bring all existing members of the community as well as new ones up to date with what's going on. As you may have noticed, our website was put up a few weeks ago, this hasn't come out at all how we hoped so we have a new one that will be going live in the next 2 weeks, so please don't sign up on the old one since it'll be going offline soon! A few other things, last weekend I was out in Copenhagen, Denmark (that's in Europe for all you Amerifags! WOO EUROS) with the CS:S team at SLAP Live #21 and we came 2nd in the tournament, knocking out the favourites and friends, Fragmasters TOXIC in the lower bracket, after that we battled through and got ourselves to the final again, in which we lost 1-1 (upper bracket team already have a 1 map advantage going into the final, bad times!). Not a bad result, but we know we should have been 1st! ;-)

On to the servers, we're going to be ditching our DE based dedicated server in favour of our brand new game servers from our new sponsor, YCN-Hosting! They've already provided all of our professional teams with servers, but now we're starting to roll out the public servers, starting with Counter Strike: Source - but if there's a request / demand for them, we will stick some Team Fortress 2 / Call of Duty 4 servers up to help build the community! You may also notice an Alter IWNet server at some point (alteriw.net for more information on that) in the near future, but I'll post another announcement when the time comes! As always, if you've got an idea for SMACK, or you want to see a specific server / game being played - let us know! Add me (Bret) on steam and throw your ideas at me and we'll see what we can do. We'll also be handing out admin on our public servers when the new website is online so make sure you stay tuned!

Peace!

Bret
