It’s that time of the month for steam, apparently. Semaphores, SteamGetEncryptionKeyToSendToNewClient and other stupidness.
I mean, it happens like once a month, right…? Steam explodes and we have to sit here waiting to start our game server while they piddle-pat around fixing it. Haven’t they heard of a QA process?!
Well anyway, when you run an update, you get something like this error below.

srcds_run is broken (sorta) – A new orangebox folder is created when you start your game (UPDATE: FIXED)
Have you tried to install the new Counter-Strike: Source game server update and all the sudden an entirely new oragebox folder was created and a new copy of the game was downloaded to it?
Yeah, its a bug, its not you. Valve has once again released confusingly undocumented and broken stuff to us.
To fix it, edit [...]

Valve broke source again. Don’t update!! (appdatacache.cpp (311) : Assertion Failed: !”Implement me” error)
So, valve broke Counter-Strike: Source again in their last update. (Sigh!) Don’t update your server or it will stop booting. They’re working on a fix now, but it could be a day. Bad Valve, BAD!

Added Tutorial for installing ManiMod on Counter-Strike: Source
Just wrote our little tutorial on how our users can install ManiMod on CS:S.
Forum link: http://forum.hostedgameservers.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=36
We’ve created a shell script to deploy this mod automatically! You just follow the directions to SSH into the server and execute the script. After that you just add yourself to the adminlist.txt file and restart the server!
