Title: Half-Life 2 is NOT going gold on Monday...
Post by: L i L K u B B s on August 28, 2004, 07:12:08 AM: Sorry to burst everyone\'s bubble, but after reading Styx\'s post and checking it out I came across this (http://www.hl2fallout.com/).

Fool\'s Gold

After a close scrutiny of Gabe Newell’s account history on the forums, we\'ve come to the conclusion that the gold post is a fake. While we can\'t be 100% certain at this stage, all indicators point towards someone hacking the forum account. That said, all Gabe\'s previous posts on these forums are quite legitimate.

We apologize for the confusion and will be investigating further. Theoretically, an IPB forum account should be very difficult to hack. Well, that was the theory at least. We\'ll keep you updated.

But thanks for the news anyway.
