Having the admins take down the server will be the only way of pushing valve to fix this.
No servers = No one plays online = Valve in big trouble. I doubt it's an easy fix, but it's something they MUST do, why even bother working with a game that everyone just cheats in? Why should I be encouraged to make a mod that someone is going to make a cheat for it eventually and just ruin the game? - Spencer "voogru" MacDonald > -----Original Message----- > From: Darren J.
