Alright, I've been sitting here day after day like many others seeing the pointless message wars in a few particular topics. Now, I too am having the issue at hand between map changes. And, I'm not going to touch on the topic of whether "valve owes us anything" or demand an answer. The point I'd like to make here is that this list is not meant for this type of thing. It's for server administrators to help each other, not to quibble back and forth not only about a bug but at each other! I'd like to second what someone said earlier and ask that you start emailing -each other- instead of using the list as a proxy. Clearly, Valve is aware of the issue and fighting won't make them get to it any sooner. Let's get back to the list's roots and -help- each other. Please.
On that note, since it hasn't been mentioned in a long time, I'd like to invite any who are interested in helping each other to an IRC Channel that's been around for quite a few months now, headed up by Nephyrin.* It's on GameSurge @ #hlserveradmins.* I have a sad feeling that most will not heed this message, especially due to its length, but I felt I had to give a try at bringing some kind of order back. If even a few people agree to drop their issues with each other and take heed of the point of this email, it will have been successful to me. Thanks, Atreus ps. If you disagree with this email for whatever reason, I urge you not to reply with a series of insults. Reply in a mature manner, or don't do so at all. I wouldn't even mind if this went entirely unreplied to, just read. Hopefully the IRC Channel will pick back up and we can get back on track on the list, too. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
