Hello,

What is the link to the server along with each and every player name you have played under in that server?

Looking at http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/66.150.164.165:27015/top_players/?query=squirl&Search=Search I see 2 Squirl usernames that may be you. This would add up to around 425 hrs which is reasonable for GT.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

Hello,

After gaming last night I now have 475 hours of game time played. I could screen shot my steam screen if you like. I have played by {AFB}Squirl, {AFB}~Squirl~,Squirl, ~Goingnutz~, ~Squirl~, and GoingNutz. I have only played on the "Another Faction is Born" server.
not sure bout the link but here is the server ip. hope it will help. 66.150.164.165:27015. Thank you so much for your help with this.

Ps. Forgot to mention that my profile on game tracker says I am not a member of any team or clan when I am. I belong to Another Faction is Born... how do I make this change?

Hello,

What I see is:
122 hrs = http://www.gametracker.com/player/Squirl/66.150.164.165:27015/
197 hrs = http://www.gametracker.com/player/%7BAFB%7D%20Squirl/66.150.164.165:27015/
24 hrs = http://www.gametracker.com/player/GoingNutz/66.150.164.165:27015/

For a total of: 343 hrs (my math in the earlier post was incorrect). No matter what, GT is typically artificially low in time than what a game or a game log parser will tell you you played. This is because GT does not see exactly when you join the server and it does not know exactly when you left the server.

Is your 475 hrs exactly how much time you have played on THIS server. GT does not record how long you have your game open (eg. times you are on the main menu) nor does it consolidate player names across servers (eg. this is one player name on one server, not Squirl on all HL2 servers).

I was not able to find any names that used the ~. Can you test this out for us? Go on the server sometime and use one of the names with a ~. Play for about 5 minutes then alt tab to your web browser. Check to see if you are listed in the online list and how it appears there. If you are not there, watch it until it updates again and see if you appear. Post your results.

If you want to join the clan on the server page, go to http://www.gametracker.com/clan/anotherfaction/ and find the Apply button on the clan members block.

yes 475 is my games hours on this server, I do not play on any other server. 343 ia still a big difference though. I will test the names with the ~ in front of it and let you know the results in a bit.
