I've been on this list longer then most of you. Having Alfred here was a real treat, and there have been a few others that have come and gone over the years. But for the most part, we've been on our own.
I don't really blame them for shutting the list down. Valve has made some unpopular decisions lately, and we on this list have not hesitated to tell Valve how stupid we though they were for doing whatever they were doing. I think it started going downhill back about the time Valve decided to push Steam on us. There was a huge pushback, but Valve didn't care - they did it anyhow. Likewise for several other decisions they have made that have been less then popular with us. Steam seems to have worked out OK for the most part, but I can't say the same for other things they have done. I guess it doesn't really matter anymore. I for one won't be joining the forums. I don't have the tolerance for their Nazi moderators, which is why I left the verc forums a long time ago. When this list goes away, I guess I'll be going away also. Can I get out the Thwack! stick one last time, and this time use it on Valve? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cc2iscooL" <[email protected]> To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 09, 2009 2:03 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Important notice regarding the HLDS mailing lists It hasn't had them for a while anyway. Ever since Alfred's been gone we never really get anything from actual Valve employees.
