first thing and I know people won't like it... I just hope that valve hardcodes a 24 cap in the normal server browser for TF2.

A reverse view would be: If 32x > is that unpopular, surely people would've been avoiding them? Instead > they were always full take a guess why... I look for servers by numbers I don't join an empty server.. and take a guess who will be on top.. the servers with the most people on.. which is every server with players > 24... just consider the truth... almost NOBODY cares enough for 32 man servers (which are still available now even without hacking) to go to the custom tab or to look at there favorites. A final thought: Give people time to adapt to the new browser and it will balance out.. people who want to have 32, no crits, ff on or whatever different modification to the original idea of TF2 will use the custom browser, people who want to play TF2 as it was meant to be by the developer will use the normal one. Valve did give you now official ways to run a server like you want, now stop bitching and moaning because you can not push the way you want to run your server down everybody and especially valve throat. BTW: this was not directly at Neph.. sorry for picking your post.. but more in general of the waste of binary data I have seen here in the last days.. Also I have fireproof underwear so don't bother to flame me.. -- Don Redhorse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
