Hi, RIPE has announced today that the last IPv4 block has been assigned and the IPv4 pool has been depleted. I am wondering, how far is VALVe with the IPv6 implementation in the Source engine? We are fully IPv6 native reachable and awaiting some news regarding this. Cheers, Saint K.

If you give users an option to view the ad or not I can't imagine anyone ever opting in. These ads work only because they're forced on users. Technically there is already a way to opt out of these ads by disabling html motd's. However, many of the servers running these ads are also using

That's just it the video's don't lag a connection - it's no different than any other custom download file that people use from fastdownload locations. If they complain about lag then they need to stop playing on dialup...these vids take barely seconds to download on a basic broadband connection.

If you configure it right they won't lag because the ad page will be cleared after it's closed. If you don't bother setting it up right then that's your fault as a server owner. And as a client, if you close the MOTD and the ad just keeps playing, leave or blacklist the server. It's quite
