Stephen, you're well within your rights to hate the sound features of the Mani plugin and others... but that's just your opinion. It only applies to any servers you decide to host on your own.
As I said before... having options is key. I'm glad plugin authors have the ability to do what they do, and if you don't like the way a server admin has implemented some of their features, play somewhere else or host your own server ;) - K2 http://www.hardfought.org -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Micheals Sent: Saturday, April 09, 2005 3:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] what to do, or not to do... was Stupid Sounds i would just like to chime in a small bit and say how much i have grown to Hate the Sound features of Any and all server plugins. the sound features are growing out of control with some servers i have seen having up to >64MB of sound files and Crap music. i would very much like to see a change to stop all of this other then trying to talk sense into fellow server owner's, i would also like to see it go as far as removing said features but i get the feeling I'm the only one that would like that to happen.
