Well after looking around some more I finally found a post that was useful. I looked into the CustomPluginVariables.json and realized that not all my plugins were listed I manually added the following to the json file.

,
  "SteamPlugin.dll":{
    " Enabled":1
  }

Upon adding that It all appeared to begin working properly. Dear lord. Why wasn't the steam plugin listed? In any case I believe we are back in business now.

I will likely take the server down tomorrow or Saturday to plug in a different CPU I located on Amazon thereby upgrading the CPU from a Xeon 2.53GHz Dual core w/out hyperthreading  to a Xeon 3.06 GHz quad core with hyperthreading (8 threads!) I hope it works well. I also was able to add 4 more GB of RAM to make a total of 8GB of RAM.

This was only possible through the generous donations of our dedicated members. Give yourselves a round of applause. You all made this happen. Great job all. See you on track.

The server box has been fully upgraded and is back up and running. Please feel free to jump on and run laps to your hearts content.
