Just a quick message to inform you all that due to the problems we have been having with our stock server, we have now been given a new server with a new ip instead.  The new IP is available on the right hand side in the HLStatsX block or you can visit it by going to this ip address:  Hopefully it should be running without any problems but let me know if anything is going wrong with it

Hey all-just thought I'd bring ya all up to date on what's happening.  Firstly, my own personal circumstance-I have my starting date with BA.  I'll be beginning my course on January 5th, meaning I only have 3 weeks until I'm unemployed-scary shit!  This will mean that I'll be moving down to the Crawley/Brighton area around New Year.  I'm going to be moving into a temporary place hopefully one with net access so I can play.  I will be training for 5-6 weeks so I won't be able to come on much other than at weekends as there'll be shit loads of studying but at least I'll be back!  Not long to go guys and the clan will be back to it's old self.  About a month to go-start the countdown!

Also, after only finishing his trial in the past couple of days and already getting a PM asking when he'll become a full member, Strupp now joins us officially so congrats.  We've also had a few people leave for various reasons such as Gen Lee due to his mum's untimely death.  I will be going over the Paypal bits this week and I will be asking members to post the name of the Paypal account holder so I can see who is who and see who hasn't been paying their way while I've been away :p

I know things have been difficult over the past 3 months during my absence and the server can be a tad hard to populate at times but I do appreciate all your efforts for trying to keep it going while I've been unable to play but try and hold out for another month guys and I'll take the work load off ya.  Thanks to Dag and Mally for keeping things going and also Dan and Crazzey for doing their best to populate the server.  Also everyone else thats been working hard to keep the cogs going.  I have been on the forum every day and doing bits and pieces behind the scenes over my naf net but like I said, just keep it going till Christmas and hold in there and we'll be back to normal. 

Also, finally, We've had a few friendlies of late and been doing very well by all accounts-well done peeps.  When I come back I'll look at joining a league so by all means get any requests in within the members section and we'll take it from there

Not long to go guys-hang in there and keep the server going-if there's anything you fancy seeing, again let us know-see ya soon peeps

Moooooooooooooo

Just a small roundup of a few bits and pieces.  First off, an update to let you know where I have been.  I've just moved house and obviously that took a while to pack and the house I've moved into has no internet however I have now got a laptop which I bought last month and with this I got a dongle to access the net via the 3 mobile phone network.  Unfortunately this doesn't give me a ping under 120 so playing is not possible unfortunately however I'm going to be still on the site a lot.  As a few of you know, I will also be moving to Brighton in the next few months (it's very vague at the moment) to start working for British Airways however I am currently in a holding pool, waiting for a start date for my course so there is little point in starting a new contract at my current house as I'll have to spend money on line activation in 2 properties in a short space of time.  Anyway, Dagfari has stepped up to the mark and is proving to be a great assistant so please give him the respect and patience he may need and deserves-thanks for all your help mate

To help him, along with Paladus' recent cut back in availability, we have decided to promote another member to admin so congratulations Mally.  Mally is always one of the first people on the server, helping get it populated and is the most active member on the server.  A very well deserved promotion and I know the clan will be in safe hands-well done mate and thanks for stepping up to the plate

We also welcome Kail to the clan after a successful trial.  Well done mate-sorry for the delay but see above for the excuse   Congratualtions mate-great to have you onboard

And finally we have decided to give Woody an honoury membership to CoW.  He's always on the server and has joined us at many training sessions in the past, making a huge effort so to say thank you, we're welcoming him in a full capacity.  Great to have you on board mate.  Now sort that tag out

We have now (belatedly-sorry guys) increased the size of our heard by a further 2 new full members so well done Bone and Wing.  Nice to have you both on board now and we look forward to you being members for a long time to come

Mooooooooooo

Today (some slightly late due to my busy-ness of late, we can welcome to the clan fully CoffeeSquid, Matty, Mally, MrCraig, SkyValley and Oni

Well done all-very well deserved and it's great to have you in the clan fully, bolstering our numbers and continuing our fantastic growth.  Hopefully you'll enjoy it here for a long time to come

Moooo

Today we have promoted Dagfari to admin.  Since joining us, he has acted in a fantastic manner and as the clan keeps growing, we need to ensure adequate coverage and as he is one of the most active members, we felt he would be suited tot he role.  Congratulations mate and well deserved.  Well done

Mooooo

Our latest trialist, Bone, runs a dedicated server for running websites on and has some spare space on it at the moment so has donated a new server running on that machine.  We haven't decided what to do with it at the moment so it's currently running in vanilla mode.  If you would like to see one of our servers running something in particular, please post HERE and if it proves a popular idea, we'll look at implementing it.  In the meantime enjoy our latest server

IP is: 217.168.144.233:27015

The heavy update has been released.  7 new maps(albeit 3 are remakes of well, granary and badlands), 3 new unlockable weapons (including what will soon be a big hit-the Sandvich), 35 achievements and a load of bug fixes.  So far the new game mode Arena seems really good.  You'll find that you have to sit out a fair few rounds when the server is busy but it's very quick and fun-no respanws tho

Our servers have all be updated and the 24/7 has been rebranded for the foreseeable future into a new maps only server

Enjoy

Moooooooooooooooooooooo

Today, we welcome our next batch of members to our humble, bovine home.  They have all completed their trials and Joker even helped out with tactics last night at training.  Well done guys-it's great to let you in fully.  We hope you enjoy it as full members

Congrats

Moooooooooooo

Today we see the amount of people that have joined our Steam community page for CaLF pass the 1000 mark.  Member Stewie was the 1000th member to join-lets have a party-woohoo!

This is fantastic growth-we've only been going for 3 months and to have this many people in our community is astounding!  Keep up the good work guys and hopefully we'll get to the 10,000 members point soon
