That's because it's appid=440 and not appid-440. It looks like Powerlord made this mistake

Whoops, typo.

I had to retype it since I'd long since closed the SSH window I'd done it in. I'll go back and edit said post to fix it in a sec.

Opening a MOTD window (hidden or visible) that is not requested
Forcing clients to view the MOTD until a timer has expired

1. Is this the end of pinion & co for TF2 quickplay servers ?

2. STEAM GAMESERVER ACCOUNTS
I'm planning on moving my server to a different IP but I'm not sure if it's going to work with the "favorites". Would be nice to hear some experience if anyone tries

Well its either that or they release them so late at night that you are out and about doing other things but I'd rather have it early than late to give them a chance to re-patch upon breaking something before leaving for the weekend.

My server won't start after latest TF2 Update, is this "GameServer Accounts" thing related? if so, how do i set it up?

edit: it had something to do, created server account and server is working again

You're forbidden from reopening the MOTD window once it closes. There's no other rules about advertisements mentioned.

Creating a server account shouldn't have anything to do with it.

I'm tempted to write a quick web form that just submits a form to Valve's webservice and post a link to it. Of course, that'd mean you trust me since I could potentially add a script to said page and steal your info. Which wouldn't exactly gain me anything since I already have a Steam API key.

Edit: Done. Here's a quick registration page (note: untested 'cause my API key is at home, but it seems to be submitting a post request as expected)

Edit 2: Tested and it definitely works.

Can anyone please explain the actual steps to using these tokens? Do we set in the command line? Can we use the same token for every server, or do we need a new one? I am totally lost.
