There's no need to be rude or offensive! If this has to be discussed then
lets at least do it sensibly.
Anyway.....
Valve dont appear to be randomly removing servers with mods from the lists,
they have apparently removed servers running mods that allow 32 players. It
occurs to me they must have a reason for this (it is not as if it appears to
be a particularly harmful mod).
I very much doubt Valve are going to begin to removing servers running any
mods they deem unsuitable (MetaMod:Source anyone?? :P). So far there has
been no reason for this removal - nothing from Valve. Either they are not
going to say anything or there is a reason for the silence. There could
still be a very valid reason for removing the 32 man capacity! (No one seems
to care about that possibility).
Either Valve will say something concrete or we will never know. If not being
able to run 32 man servers is putting many people off running servers, or if
it is killing many communities or if it is putting many players off the game
because they can only play with 24 people I have no idea - but I would
hazard it is not very many.
Lets just face it 32 man servers are gone for the time being - it's not a
great thing but there it is. Maybe we should look to getting what we have on
offer running stably and get some good mods going :)
I have 7 TF2 servers going now (4 for one community 3 for another) and they
are all starting to hit their maxes - so it is going well. The 7th server I
launched yesterday as the others were getting full. That's working out as
better solution for the communities than 6 32 man servers actually.

Oh and Jonathon,
Hinsight is such a great thing isn't it? Well, we've taken note. When
you're
server and you're community is affected by Valves heavy handed arrogance,
we'll mock you like there was no tomorrow.
You couldn't see that listing update coming and neither could we.
Soooooooooooo.....
What makes you think your server is going to be immune forever?
What's that you said? You are going to keeps yours vanilla?
TF2. R.I.P.
Chris.

I think people just need to grow up.
Valve intended by design for their to be a 24 player
limit. They can and will do whats in their best
interest and/or needs. They never intended (at this
time) to be above 24 people so they filtered them out.
They have the right to do so.
Don't like it? Then don't run a server. No one is
forcing you to do anything.
