[hlds_linux] Reminder: HLDS/SRCDS Administrator IRC ChannelNotification

I figure I should re-send this, given it's been a while and the
possibilities of the list going down would make it impossible to mention it
again. Here's a copy of the last time I mentioned it, about a month ago. I
really hope the list doesn't go down, but if it does, this resource should
be known about:

As mentioned, I am sending this again now that it's been about another 6
months since the last one of these emails. I made one or two small tweaks to
the initial message, but about 99% of it is the same. #hlserveradmins has
provided lots and lots of help and support to many people and is now
generally filled with at least 65 people at any given time, with there
generally always being someone willing to help.
