It's not quite ready for full prime time (and thus, this isn't being posted as a Staff Blog), but Team9000 Launch now has support for launching personalized game servers.
Rather than asking me "Is the KF server up? Can you start TF2 for me?," you can now handle the entire process on your own. Simply head over to https://launch.team9000.net/ , choose the server you want, along with options for password, mods, max players, and such, and huizzah! A brand spankin' new server will roll off the line with your name on it. Then, when you're done, don't forget to shut it back down.
The system is still a little fragile, so please let me know about any trouble or features you are interested in. At the moment, the system only supports TF2, CS: S, and Killing Floor. Please let us know which other game servers you think we should support.
Now go get gaming!

, and two TF2 servers are launched, they will all be put on different addresses, because they use the same port. If it runs out of addresses (unlikely), it will simply increment the port then start over.
