Alright, before the year officially taps out and faceplants into tomorrow...

I just want to take a minute to say thank you.

This year was a damn good one for GSU — and that’s not because of servers,
configs, or some magic plugin. It’s because of the people who showed up night
after night, dumped hours into the community, kept the pub alive, ran scrims,
talked trash, laughed, argued, and generally made this place feel like home.

Seriously — the time you all put in doesn’t go unnoticed. Keeping a CS 1.6
community alive in current year is basically an act of defiance, and you
maniacs did it anyway.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to give a special shoutout to:

Croosed
Boker
Swoop

for really stepping up this year.

You 3 carried weight when it mattered — helping keep things running,
keeping people engaged, and making sure the place didn’t slide into total
entropy (or at least not too fast). That kind of effort is what keeps a clan
from quietly fading out, and I appreciate the hell out of it.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also — a big welcome to some of the newer faces we picked up this year:

Tank
ViceVzla
J4C
Daed
Donald Trump
(No idea if this is *the* Donald Trump or just someone committing to
the bit. But on the off chance it *is* you, sir — any chance we can
get a tax break for the community?)

Okie Dokie
Mr Sausage
Freakboy
greensea
joeyschribar

Glad to have you all here. You jumped in, blended right into the clan, and
made the servers better just by being around — which is honestly the highest
compliment in this place.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And of course — love to the OG crew.

You guys know who you are.

}{itman[dj] pw solar
Skam
Spoon
Pet Defective
NeOiCeSHoT
Mystyc Cheez
HaCkS B@N eM ?



(and the rest of the old guard holding it down since way back)

You helped build the foundation this place still stands on, and even when
you’re not around every night, the DNA is still here.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And yeah — apologies in advance to anyone I forgot to mention by name.

Not intentional.
Just the downside of having too many good people to list without this turning
into a CVS receipt.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the end of the day, GSU is still here for the same reason it always has been:

Good games.
Good people.
No ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

So here’s to another year of late nights, bad sleep schedules, cracked recoil
control, and that moment when you look out the window and realize...

Oh.
It’s morning again.


Happy 2026, everyone.

Thank you for being part of this.

P.S.
Still waiting for the Y2K bug to finally hit.

It’s been almost 26 years now, which means we’re either:
A) perfectly safe
B) living in the calm before the storm
C) already in the post-apocalypse and nobody bothered to tell us

Any day now.
