I definitely recommend and request that we change all SteamID's into 64 bit integers, CSteamID's, allowing both the ability to do a lot more using the Steam Community (if we so choose). But much more importantly this would allow us to easily weather any of the strange types of things that Valve has a habit of doing (such as changing STEAM_0:0 to be STEAM_0:1).
