Do you think we should have L4D&L4D2 Servers, based off of actually levels in the game?

It would be So awesome, even more awesome if the builds were based of the game!
Sure why not?  Sounds pretty cool.
I don't know, maybe, maybe not.
Nah, probably not, I'm not into it.
No way, it will suck hard!

You're handicapped. And you even stole Muzzles56's avatar.

Does anyone like this idea?


Awwww, still no drama topic about me.  :cookieMonster:

You know, you can always make your own server.

I can't forward my ports, last time I did someone hacked into my computer and broke it.  My parents won't let me.  And trust me, if I could, I would.

Obvious problem here.

Yes, it is.  Im going to laugh my head off once I see a drama topic about myself.  Im going to go check the drama now :D

Damnit!  No topic! D:

Obiously you are too stupid to make add-ons/forward your ports:

Forward your Ports
So you can host Blockland
In order to host a game of Blockland from behind a router, you will need to forward port 28000 to the machine you're hosting the game on.
This is not easy. Blame Bill Gates.

This procedure will not open you up to being hacked. It just lets people connect to your Blockland game.

Made this tutorial using a LinkSys router, but all routers have these sorts of settings. Just look around and click stuff.
Kids: Don't ask your parents, just try it when they're not home.

Ok, Thorax, I can make add-ons, and I can forward my ports.  I cant forward my ports because my parents will find out.  And if you're such a smart ass then why did I get hacked?

Did you even read Badspot's Port Forwarding tutorial? Honestly, you have no common sense. One of the first things you said was that you CAN'T be hacked from forwarding your ports. You obviously did something else wrong if you got hacked. And how will your parents find out. It's totally unnoticeable unless they go in to your router's forwarded ports and look.

I've read badspots tutorial. Derp.  And you need to look around on the internet.  Type in "Is portforwarding dangerous?" and tell me what you get.

Opening one port for a specific purpose is as safe as anything else on the internet. If you had to open a port for HTTP traffic it would be the same. Unless you have something running and accepting connections on that one port you are forwarding, it's the same as a null connection... nothing responds, the connection is terminated.
Did you have questions regarding the Setup Guide?

You are basically never 100% safe when you are connected to a network.
What you did was open a port so a program can work (which you want). It is not more dangerous than looking at this webpage, with the difference that you trust your browserprogram not to do anything 'wrong'.
So, you trust the program or you don't. Apart from that, you opened a port, but if nothing is listening on that port, nothing much happens.
Well you'd have to dive below the tcp/ip layer in the osi model to get around that. No hacker that can do that will be interested in your pc.

Port forwarding is perfectly safe. In fact it can be safer that not using port forwarding.

If I open up port 25678 and tell my router to send all incoming\outgoing traffic to and from my pc then there has to be an application on my PC that uses that port. In order to attack a PC you have to have an application that is sat on that PC listening to that port. In addition to that the application has to be vulnerable to attack - which in 99% of cases applications aren't.

....ok, you win.  Ill try to convince my parents again.  Sorry.  If I can get my parents to forward the ports, then I owe you one BIG TIME.  Sorry for being a douche to you.  Can we get back to the topic now?
