Right..
A lot of the links are dead because halflife2.net doesn't have a CMS. CMS stands for Content Management System, it's the backend for a dynamic website. We were in talks with CSNation to buy there's off them but it turned out the guy on our staff was biased towards the CSNation guy, kinda had ago at our coder when our coder asked to demo it ( as you do ) and said we'd already accepted to buy it when Munro said we haden't. This inturn caused the CSNation guy to get very fustrated ( plus he was naturally impatient ) and pulled out of the talks.
So now StarMonkey is working on a CMS for us and once that's fully operational we'll be able to start sorting everything out including hosting, articles, interviews, static links, etc, etc, etc.
In all honesty this should of been done before and the content should of been done by Munro about a week / two weeks ( maximum ) after the website was launched but never was. Alas it wasen't so we're doing it now.
A few things have been done now by Zerimski ( Weapons page ), Munro ( Overview ) and myself ( FAQ, Characters ) but all of those pages will have to be re-written soon after the game is released so we're not really pushing to get it done with only a week to go.
We should be able to host. Homelan are kinda screwing us about a bit which none of the staff are highly impressed at. Just found out the other day that the MAXIMUM speed someone could download from us at is 20k.. these things need to be changed asap.
Relax though, we're all working on getting it sorted.

Well, the 20k Cap limit for every single use is not that bad for the website. After all, though images, and media are getting heavier nowadays, for webpages it's enough I think
However, if you intend to offer downloads, then you should fix that, but anyway, it's free. I won't complain =)

Why not just use an open-source CMS? There's tons out there (I like www.geeklog.net)

He probably just means its good.
I'd hate to re-ask my question, but it seems to have been ignored... this looks like a great place to get hosted, because I despise the ad-infested crap that is PHL...but I've already done a good bit of programming for the site in php/mysql. So, do these servers support php/mysql? Are they home-grown Linux?

Maybe I'm confused... but it's it a sort of other portals like PHP Nuke? I mean, prefab'd scripts for administration (not just a thing, a whole cms) usually don't fit the need of webmasters because either they exceed what a website needs or it lacks of many other things.
and sometimes, it doesn't look professional (though sometimes you can use it and nobody notices) but I think that it's better to have your own administrarion systems, made by yourself
but well, decision isn't mine, it's theirs =)
