-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I think many of you may be missing a pertinent point in the whole 32 player de-listing episode. Valve did not announce it. I recognize that they now have, but its been days since. Of course valve is well within its rights to do this, but to those defending valve's lack of posting to this list, I say give me a break.
I work my ass off to keep my server in the top 50 (game-monitor.com). I wake up at 5 AM hoping my server is empty so I can give it a reboot. I pay $80/month hosting fees. I take great pains to research admin mods/stats that will enhance my players' experience. I maintain a website proving the players a home. I preordered a game to play in a beta. Now I don't run a 32 player server and have no intention of doing so. But if Valve delisted my server without telling me why, causing me to lose my players and ruining all my hard work, I would be be livid. I recognize I can stop playing/hosting if I don't like it, but I DO like it and Valve needs people like us to run their servers. Please Valve, don't keep us in the dark. We need to know these things ahead of time. We love to help, make it easy for us.
