When Valve releases the next version of HL, and Steam is needed for online play, all the Won IDs are gone. So, even if you donated, you will not have the icon anymore. end QUOTE

Is this true? I'm not sure if the tags will dissapear because I have seen the green tags in the KB server on steam. Am just interested incase I donate and get the constellation tag.

The green tags are server admin tags. Basically, if you have admin access, you get that tag.

As for the Constellation and all other WON ID based tags, i'm not too sure. There's a system thingy for all the Beta testers (PTs, Vets and CMs) at the moment where you put in your won id and your Steam ID, and it adds it to the database.
I assume this will be active for the release of 3.0... but all the CMs at the moment should have a registered Steam ID as well (unless they're not participating in the Play test of course).

Thanks for the relpy X Stickman - I'm just waiting for my paypal verification number on my next bank statement and i'm gonna join the CM. I wondered if Mikko was talking with authority or was just guessing - only one way to tell I spose if no one knows or wants to answer!

With the current 2.01 version, there has been no server update to read steam IDs. Most of the CM's and vets do have their steam IDs in the database, but you won't be able to see them until 3.0 comes out.
