I'm all for a shut down of my servers in protest. I think I have bitched and moaned about the negligence of VAC for years... and every time I do, someone says "Oh, they are working on it... be patient". 2 years later... MORE hackers than pre-steam.
I participate in Steambans.com (I'm ranked #1 on there :D) which was great for a while. But now that I hear people can get a new STEAMID so easily, I have noticed return hackers... especially the ones that have the name changing script. While all of us stopping our servers for a day is a small percentage, I'm pretty sure we are the owners of some of the BETTER pubs out there. I know my CSDM server is hugely popular and its absence for a day would cause a lot of people to wonder. Multiply that by everyone on this list (OK, not everyone) it could cause a little publicity. We should email fan sites (csnation.net, hlfallout.net, halflife2.net, etc) and let them know that this event may occur and the reason why. Seriously, SOMETHING needs to be done and I won't take "someone is working on it" for an answer by someone who doesn't work for VALVe. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roc Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2004 10:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds] When will the "nosteam" hacks be fixed?
