Hello there Half-Life community,

I have bad news for all RCS users. I'm closing down the service. I've hosted the service for almost two years, but now that Half-Life 2 has been announced, it's time to quit. Half-Life 2 will contain distributed compile tools, meaning that you will be able to compile with virtually anyone. This ofcourse will render the RCS useless.

The Half-Life 1 community may still need this service after the release of
Half-Life 2, but I'm not able to keep the service up for a shrinking group
of people. Another reason is the fact that I'm done studying and ready for a real job. I simply won't have the time anymore for keeping the service going and enhancing its features.

But why this news post? I'm not just giving up on the RCS. I hope there's
someone out there who's willing to continue this service for the Half-Life
community. Or maybe some mod-team who is willing to setup something like this.
