Today's the franchise's birthday, not TF2 in particular.

Why would we want to specifically celebrate that, like last year makes sense since the "official" TF versions turned 20 but now?

For the same reasons why people celebrate their birthdays every year rather than every so often.

You have Multiple VAC Ban, If you received a Party Hat & Birthday noisemaker in the past and delete it you will not get another one.

Then those people can do that, but if it has to be more than just some card saying happy birthday then they can bite me.

Exit out of the game and then re-launch it.

What do my VAC Bans have to do with any of this? Do you have a mental disorder or something?

Valve Anti-Cheat, abbreviated as VAC, is an anti-cheat solution developed by Valve Corporation as a component of the Steam game development platform.

Those who are VAC Banned cannot enter a VAC-enabled server. However, this only applies to the engine the game uses. For example, if you are banned on Counter-Strike or Half-Life, only games which use the GoldSource engine will be affected. You can still play games and connect to secure servers on games that do not use the same engine. VAC banned players are still able to play on all VAC-insecure servers on any game that the ban had an effect on.

In the past, those who were VAC Banned had all non-purchased items deleted from their backpack. In the current version of Team Fortress 2, users who are VAC banned do not lose any items in their backpack. However, all items are stuck inside of their backpack and cannot be traded away, placed on the Steam Community Market, or given to any other accounts. This is done to prevent players trading the items to another account and cheating again. These users are still able to purchase items off of the Mann Co. store, and use said items freely.

VAC has several versions. For example, Team Fortress 2 uses version NN. VAC is module based. Most clients only see a fraction of all the modules the system has. If the system is blocked in any way or if there is a hardware problem on the user's computer, then the user will not be able to join VAC Secured servers until said problem is fixed.

VAC bans are non-negotiable. With a few exceptions due to false positives being triggered by specific known software or hardware incompatibilities, no VAC bans are removed.

VAC targets cheats that tamper with game code and memory on the client. Cheats done by the server or involving altered data files are not subject to VAC enforcement.

As with any Anti-Cheat, VAC is not perfect. Certain hacks may be able to slip through the cracks, if only for a while. Once VAC has detected a user hacking, it may take from a few days up to a few months before said user is banned from secure servers. This is done to prevent the cheat developer that made the hack from pinpointing the exact cause of the ban. Additionally, VAC runs differently on Linux machines, making it much less effective and easily bypassed. Valve has not talked about any fix for this as of yet, but in a recent Q&A with Valve CEO Gabe Newell, he has said that Valve Anti-Cheat is one of the things that they will be working on improving in the future. https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Valve_Anti-Cheat
