		<title>17b Watermark - Leecher Cs-hlds.ru</title>
		<link>http://forum.17buddies.net/index.php?showtopic=13111</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Due to some webmasters (*) that have appropriated 17Buddies's work, and have stolen all our screens for their website without authorization, nor even installing a link or a 17b button on their website, we were forced to install a watermark on all our screens (automatic work still in progress for our 73000+ screens).<br /><br />I don't really like watermarks, and so, I tried to make them as less visible as possible...<br /><br />I think I found a good compromise. <br /><br />Sorry for the inconvenience.<br /><br />Chapo<br /><br /><br />(*): I encourage you to boycott and to tell all your contacts that this website <a href="http://cs-hlds.ru" target="_blank">http://cs-hlds.ru</a> is a thief. If you look at his <a href="http://cs-hlds.ru/load/karty_maps_mapy_dlja_cs_1_6/208" target="_blank">map's pages</a>, you should note that he has just leeched all of our screens and replaced our logo with his ugly one. He is so dumb that some screens still have the 17b logo...In principle it does not really bother me (but still a bit) as long as it clearly indicates the origin of screens. When I asked <a href="http://www.17buddies.net/17b2/View/User/19745/x/index.html" target="_blank">0bewan</a> (webmaster of this site) to install a button with a link to 17b he just answer me "kiss my ass" and "I give you 50 cents for your work". This is how this spotty kid reward your work, all of you that have spent time to upload maps and screens on our site.<br /><br />Please relay this message on facebook, twitter, and all social networks, in order to allow bots to quickly index and diffuse this information... <img src="http://forum.17buddies.net/style_emoticons/default/siffle.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":siffle:" border="0" alt="siffle.gif" /><br /><br /><br /><div style="width:100%;height:1px;border-bottom:1px solid #802020"></div><br /><br />A cause de certains webmasters (*) qui se sont approprié le travail de 17Buddies et nous ont volé tous nos screens pour leur site web sans autorisation et sans même mettre un seul lien ou un bouton 17b sur leur site, nous avons été obligés de mettre en place un systeme de marquage par filigrane sur nos screens (le script automatique est encore en cours pour nos 73000 screens).<br /><br />Je n'aime pas vraiment les filigranes et c'est pour cela que j'ai essayé de les faire aussi discrets que possibles.<br /><br />Après plusieurs essais, je pense que nous avons trouvé un bon compromis.<br /><br />Désolé pour ce dérangement.<br /><br />Chapo.<br /><br />(*): Je vous encourage à boycotter et à expliquer à tous vos contacts que ce site <a href="http://cs-hlds.ru" target="_blank">http://cs-hlds.ru</a> est un voleur. Si vous regardez ses <a href="http://cs-hlds.ru/load/karty_maps_mapy_dlja_cs_1_6/208" target="_blank">pages de maps</a>, vous pourrez constater qu'il s'est juste contenté d'aspirer tous nos screens et d'y coller son logo tout moche à la place du notre. Il est même tellement boulet que certains screens ont encore notre logo...Sur le principe ça ne me gène pas vraiment (mais quand même un peu) du moment qu'il indique clairement l'origine des screens. Quand j'ai demandé à  <a href="http://www.17buddies.net/17b2/View/User/19745/x/index.html" target="_blank">0bewan</a> (webmaster de ce site) d'installer un bouton et un lien vers 17Buddies il m'a juste répondu "kiss my ass" and "I give you 50 cents for your work". Voilà comment cet ado boutonneux récompense votre travail vous qui avez passé du temps à uploader maps et screens sur notre site.<br /><br />Merci de relayer cette news sur vos réseaux sociaux favoris (facebook, twitter, etc...) et ainsi permettre aux robots d'indexer rapidement et donc de diffuser rapidement celle-ci..<img src="http://forum.17buddies.net/style_emoticons/default/siffle.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":siffle:" border="0" alt="siffle.gif" />]]></description>

		<title>Steam Server Defaced</title>
		<link>http://forum.17buddies.net/index.php?showtopic=13028</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>Citation </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Dear Steam Users and Steam Forum Users:<br /><br />Our Steam forums were defaced on the evening of Sunday, November 6. We began investigating and found that the intrusion goes beyond the Steam forums.<br /><br />We learned that intruders obtained access to a Steam database in addition to the forums. This database contained information including user names, hashed and salted passwords, game purchases, email addresses, billing addresses and encrypted credit card information. We do not have evidence that encrypted credit card numbers or personally identifying information were taken by the intruders, or that the protection on credit card numbers or passwords was cracked. We are still investigating.<br /><br />We don’t have evidence of credit card misuse at this time. Nonetheless you should watch your credit card activity and statements closely.<br /><br />While we only know of a few forum accounts that have been compromised, all forum users will be required to change their passwords the next time they login. If you have used your Steam forum password on other accounts you should change those passwords as well.<br /><br />We do not know of any compromised Steam accounts, so we are not planning to force a change of Steam account passwords (which are separate from forum passwords). However, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to change that as well, especially if it is the same as your Steam forum account password.<br /><br />We will reopen the forums as soon as we can.<br /><br />I am truly sorry this happened, and I apologize for the inconvenience.<br /><br />Gabe.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />Change passwords for both steam account and steam forum <img src="http://forum.17buddies.net/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /><br /><br /><div style="width:100%;height:1px;border-bottom:1px solid #802020"></div><br /><br /><!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>Citation </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Chers utilisateurs des forums Steam et de Steam :<br /><br />Nos forums Steam ont été victimes d’une intrusion informatique dans la nuit du dimanche 6 novembre. Nous avons mené une enquête et avons découvert que l’intrusion s’est étendue au-delà des forums.<br /><br />Nous avons appris que les intrus ont eu accès à la base de données Steam en plus des forums. Cette base contient les informations incluant les noms, les mots de passe sécurisés selon le procédé de hachage et salage, les achats de jeux, les adresses électroniques, les adresses de facturation et les informations bancaires encryptées. Nous n’avons pas connaissance d’une récupération, par les intrus, des numéros de cartes bancaire encryptés ou des informations personnelles ni que ces informations aient été compromises. L’investigation poursuit son court.<br /><br />Nous n’avons pas de preuve, à ce jour, du détournement de ces informations bancaires. Nous vous conseillons cependant de surveiller l’activité de ces cartes bancaires.<br /><br />Bien que nous ayons connaissance de la compromission de quelques comptes des forums, tous les utilisateurs de forums seront invités à changer leur mot de passe à la prochaine connexion. Si vous avez utilisé le même mot de passe pour d’autres comptes, nous vous conseillons d’en changer.<br /><br />Nous n’avons aucune certitude que les comptes Steam aient été compromis, de ce fait, nous ne prévoyons pas de forcer le changement des mots de passe des comptes Steam (différents des mots de passe des forums). Cependant, il ne serait pas une mauvaise idée d’en changer, surtout si ce mot de passe est le même que celui des forums.<br /><br />Nous procéderons à la réouverture des forums dès que nous le pourrons.<br /><br />Je suis sincèrement désolé et je m’excuse pour la gêne occasionnée.<br /><br />Gabe.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />Changez vos mots de passe de vos comptes steam et du forum steam <img src="http://forum.17buddies.net/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />]]></description>

		<title>Download Free Portal - Téléchargez Portal Gratis</title>
		<link>http://forum.17buddies.net/index.php?showtopic=13002</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Valve a décidément l'habitude de chouchouter les joueurs et nous le prouve aujourd'hui en lançant une opération promotionnelle assez incroyable. Le premier Portal est proposé gratuitement en téléchargement sur Steam jusqu'au 20 septembre. Vous avez donc tout le week-end pour profiter de cette offre et pour découvrir ce superbe jeu de réflexion. Ce n'est pas la première fois que Valve lance ce type d'opération mais on aurait tort de faire la fine bouche vu la qualité du titre ainsi proposé. Il s'agit certainement pour l'éditeur de faire parler de la licence à peu de frais avant l'arrivée de la première extension de Portal 2 qui ne devrait pas tarder...<br /><br /> --------------<br /><br /><br />Valve has certainly used to pamper the players and we proved today by launching a promotion quite incredible. The first portal is available free for download on Steam until 20 September. So you have all weekend to take advantage of this offer and to discover this superb puzzle game. This is not the first time that Valve launches this type of operation but it would be wrong to be choosy given the quality of the title suggested. It is certainly for the publisher to talk about the license cheaply before the arrival of the first extension of Portal 2, which is expected soon ...<br /><br /><br />source : jeuxvideo.com]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[[steam]un Nouveau Service Disponible : Steam Trade]]></title>
		<link>http://forum.17buddies.net/index.php?showtopic=12997</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Disponible depuis plusieurs semaines en version bêta, le nouveau service Steam Trade fait son apparition pour le grand public. Concrètement, Steam Trade vous permet d'échanger des items de jeux et des jeux que vous possédez en double.<br /><br />Pour le moment, les jeux concernés par ce système sont Team Fortress 2, Portal 2 et Spiral Knights. Ainsi, vous pouvez si vous le souhaitez échanger un chapeau provenant de Team Fortress 2 contre un exemplaire de Half-Life 2 qu'une personne a en double ou en cadeau.<br /><br />Il faut bien prendre en compte que vous ne pouvez échanger que les jeux en double ou qui sont considérés comme cadeau non ouvert. Donc, si via un échange, vous obtenez le jeu Dead Island mais que ce jeu ne vous intéresse pas vraiment, vous avez la possibilité de le rééchanger à quelqu'un d'autre à condition que vous n'ayez pas ouvert le cadeau. Tout jeu ajouté à sa liste de jeux n'est plus échangeable.<br /><br /><br />Valve espère que d'autres éditeurs se prêteront à ce service et que le nombre de jeu compatibles avec Steam Trade pour l'échange d'items augmente dans les mois à venir.<br /><br />Pour plus de précisions, nous vous invitons à lire le changelog de la mise à jour ci-dessous :<br /><br />    Ajout de Steam Trade<br />    Ajout de la possibilité de voir votre inventaire sur votre profil de la communauté Steam<br />    Ajout du contrôle de paramètres de gestion de vie privée pour l'inventaire sur votre profit de la communauté. Vous pouvez donc choisir d'afficher vos cadeaux Steam avec le reste de votre inventaire ou de les laisser cachés (par défaut)<br />    Ajout d'une page d'historique de l'inventaire. Elle est accessible depuis un lien sur la page de votre inventaire et vous permet de voir tous les échanges que vous avez faits<br />    Ajout du drag et drop des objets depuis votre inventaire vers le chat<br />    Ajout de la possibilité de créer des groupes d'amis dans la liste d'amis. Cliquez droit sur un ami et cliquez sur « Ajouter un Tag... » pour trier votre liste d'amis<br />    Les langues portugais-brésilien et bulgare sont maintenant supportées<br />    Ajout d'un message amélioré lorsqu'un jeu commence à être converti pour utiliser le nouveau système de contenu<br />    Ajout d'un nouveau son lorsqu'un autre utilisateur termine un appel vocal<br />    Mise à jour des sons d'appel et de sonneries lors des appels vocaux<br />    Correction d'un cas où Steam Guard voulait redemander une activation alors que cela n'était pas nécessaire<br />    Correction du mode hors-ligne qui ne fonctionnait pas s'il n'y avait pas de mots de passes mémorisé<br />    Correction d'un crash qui survenait si le matériel audio était débranché lors d'un chat vocal<br />    Correction des installations récentes qui n'obtenaient pas les listes des serveurs depuis un jeu<br />    Optimisation du CPU pour les utilisateurs possédant une liste d'amis très longue<br />    Correction du menu « Voir les informations de pré-chargement » pour qu'il affiche correctement les informations de pré-chargement]]></description>
