EDIT: Update List:
Some nice updates there I think.

will see how it affects carni when we get there
Probably won't have too much of an impact as it'll still be difficult to get to the survivors if they decide to camp in that open area though I believe Valve said they are going to fix that area in a forthcoming update.
hmmm
OMGWTFHAX!
If you go in from 2 + sides at once you can usually do a fair whack of dmg.
Atleast you can spawn in the room near the camping spot and wait for a distraction from another infected like we did last night.
It's better than spawning as boomer on the other side of the map with no chance of making it even half way to the survivors.

I wouldn't blow your own trumpets that much, but it is a wee bit homosexual that your only play with the 4 of you now and its like sod everyone else if any of us join your beloved team vs lobby we are told kindly to **** off, one of our bum chums is on the way.
I miss our nightly games where we was guaranteed at least 2 full servers for everyone to get a friends game on one of links servers.
Its totally up to you guys though don't take offence as none is intended, you play what you want, when you want, with who you want.
90% of the time joining a lobby without an invite will have you asked to leave because someone else is on the way...

Meh, their loss Spils as far as I'm concerned. For example, I'm sure Steve is having withdrawal symptoms from not hearing my voice

Very true, I can't say I agree with Spils at all. If someone has a team VS lobby up then it's usually because they already have a team to play with so you are effectively taking a spot.
However, with that said, and echoing what I said earlier. It would be good if you guys took a bit of timeout occasionally so we can get some half decent games going as i'm tired of playing with people i've never heard of. Last Ocuk game we had going the other team actually ragequit, and I didn't know anyone on the other team at all!
Yer that was a bad example, i fully understand that if a spots taken a spots taken and every time i join any server and ive taken a spot I leave, thats how we all roll.
But it is as if we are below them now, you ask them for a game and you just get blanked or sorry we doing a team vs. ("we don't play with peasants anymore")
Like I say its up to them, just making my point it is rude that they now think old friends they played with every night for 12 months are not worth there time any more.

Simple cure for rage quitters, remove them from friends. If they are persistent RQers then they should be named and shamed on here. Perhaps made an example of as warning to other RQers. Something small like removal of fingernails and breaking of toes for a first offence moving onto more painful punishments for repeat offenders*

Especially when playing L4D2 with any type of seriousness renders you instantly a bit strange in my book. Meaning teams, clans and leagues. The game is not equal for both teams. As an example SI spawns are not the same 100% for both teams. One team might get a spitter just at the right time to take a whole team down in a corner with low health while the other team might get a jockey, hunter or any other combination there is. Or maybe a Charger on level one of DC with the chance of an instant kill while the other team doesn't get one. Hordes vary too much as well which can greatly impact your game.
We all like to win even if it is casual gaming, the competitive nature comes out in us all. But there does appear to be some who think they are too elite for us lesser gamers. But with L4D2 it is kind of like two fleas arguing over who owns the dog.
At the end of the day people can play with whom they like. I will play with most people as long as there are at least 2 people I know and at least 3 people who know what they are doing with a minimum of 1 new guy on the team. Because if you play against 4 good players with 1 new guy you are pretty much dead, but with 2 guys you are mince meat. Just like when you have Midnight and Link on your team lol

I'm up for some versus sometime, it can be fun (except when MrK runs back for pills that have not been there for 10 minutes and the entire team dies trying to get him back on his feet 
)
However, I actually do get a lot of enjoyment out of playing team vs. Being on the same team against other teams has it's advantages (especially when we beat the matching avatar clans!). You get to learn new tactics, new ways of dealing with the tanks - we all know what the best way to handle certain situations is and we all 'snap' into the same way of thinking.
When we're up against a really good team, we pull out all the stops and up our game to a new level which you can't do on versus. It just adds a more competitive element to the game which I enjoy. Versus is fun, and I try to join when there is a good number of decent players in the lobby but I did find that I was becoming frustrated with players I did'nt know just doing what they wanted to and pretty much ruining the game, for me anyway and hence was losing it's appeal - now I do spend most of the time now playing team vs it's true.
Like I say, I will still play versus, maybe it will rekindle my enjoyment of it....maybe.
But I still need my daily fix of competitive team vs.
Fish, SI spawns are the same for both teams, what you do with them and if you use them is part of the new tactics and with the configs we have setup so are the spawns of pills and other items so it does make it a good match up. The game is what it is to each individual, some play just for fun others play a bit more seriously but enjoy it no less and I have room in my gaming for both types

As Antar rightly states, a name and shame policy should be used. OcUK games have always from the word go, been good, honest and rage free gaming experiences - it's a sad day to hear that this is in decline.
