It's kind of shady that people went forth asking for the MOTDs to be
fixed, and listed a lot of use cases except for ads (which they are all
using MOTDs for).
I get that you're trying to promote and save your company here, but what
you're saying is still bullshit.
These player-abusing communities shouldn't be online in the first place.
I have yet to find a single decent server (no p2w, no pseudo-donations,
not being hosted by actual, clueless kids) that does run ads.
You are part and reason for the change that underwent in financing
communities. From either a bunch of friends that love to play the game
who throw together the money, or communities that create and manage
their own creative, sophisticated and unique content (and could
therefore rely on actual donations), to teenagers that need to rent as
many cheap and slow VPSs as possible to run as many servers with ads as
possible (and other thrown-together things like p2w-systems and weapon
skins), trying to force the young target group of players to hop on and
indulge your horrors.
5-10 years ago it was not normal to:
-Get unfair advantages on community servers for money
-Get market item usage rights on community servers for money
-Have an ad played per round (an [expletive] loud one at that)
-Be forced to enable dynamic motds in order to join teams (therefore
theoretically infringing the policy of truth, by not properly stating in
the server browser that this server is not freely available, but has
certain requirements)
So yeah, please throw the first stone if you think this development is
not abusive. Just letting you know you're being a joke though.

In reply to your abusive email “Hasser Css” – we are the reason
hundreds of communities continue to be online each month, without
adequate financial resources a lot of popular servers would die.
I am sure trolling on here is not permitted, so let’s keep things
professional, and the maturity level of the thread high.

Good riddance! Hope this stays "broken" like this.
Fuck your ads for contributing to ruining public server reputation etc
in Valve's other games. Is the one impression when they first connect
not enough for you? Have to force it into their face every time they
die, do you?

FAO Valve & members:
We have had a lot of complaints from many server owners: The
latest steam client update broke the webkit in-game for anything
other than initial page hit.
Counterstrike titles and TF2 are all affected.
Thanks
