ok, that's all fine and dandy, and much better stated then saying "What are you? Infinity Ward?" We all know IW (and in relation Activision probably) is very hated by people who wanted to host a dedicated server - we get that. Calling Tripwire "Infinity Ward" because the owner asked for the community to drop the difficulty is just fucked up. If you don't want to do it, fine - that's your community and you do as you see fit to make it successful. If they demand hard mode only servers, then you obviously need to provide only servers on hard mode. I (and probably "We") get that.
Other admins may or may not pick up the slack, it's obviously totally up to them, as it is to you. But name calling - and yes calling calling another company "Infinity Ward" at this point in time IS name calling :P - there's no need for that. Especially considering Tripwire is doing everything they can to support their game (see John post further down the list) - something Infinity Ward OBVIOUSLY isn't doing right now.

Course, new players are always welcome, usually our regulars will drag them along and help them out. But that's because we're nice people, we won't just call people newbs and spoil the game for the majority, just help those who are struggling. So, on balance, I don't consider it a win for me, my community or people likely to join us.
