How is 24 man not enough for you????????? To the point you will stop playing
the game! What if the mod hadn't come along - would you still stop playing
it.... ?

Subject: Re: [hlds] Servers that will Valve will randomly remove from the
steam master servers, without any annoucment.
I installed a plugin to have a 32 slot TF2 server. No hex edit/hack or
something like that. It was a normal plugin --> And my server is still
removed from the serverlist.
Give a community the support to create addons/plugins/mod, but remove
their
servers if they use it... great!
What should I do now? Live with it? ... No...
Two options:
- Shut down my server to run something else
- Reduce to 24 slot with the known, that I will never play on my server,
because it is too empty for me? --> Result is a not needed server --> Shut
down to run something else...
grr

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.
