      <title>L4D2 Servers Up and Running!!!!</title>
      <description>sv_search_key &amp;quot;SPECSHACK&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We have 3 L4D2 servers up and running with basic funcionality. The only upside right now to having our own servers is the ping won't be shit. Admin ability is not available yet, but is most likely going to be implimented by sourcemod soon.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Follow these steps to play on the servers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;*type openserverbrowser in console and add the three IP's to your favorites&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;*once all three servers are added, you can either connect directly from the browser window or from a lobby.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;*to host from a lobby, check the server browser for availability. make sure a server has 0 players&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;*before making a lobby, open console and type the following.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;sv_search_key &amp;quot;SPECSHACK&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;*simple close the console after entering the key you wish to use, and make a lobby. The key will pick an available server. Launch when rdy and have fun :)</description>
