Curious if there was a GSP list would you still be active in the current list? If not then that's a problem because the experienced admins are distancing themselves from people that are eager to learn and help as well and also from the 'normal clients' problems, which is why this list exists in the first place. If someone wants to complain and lag or resource usage I think it's a valuable post, of course everyone gets sick of hearing it, but I think we all know that sometimes the srcds engine does have some issues that need to be discussed openly and bitched about in order to make improvements. I think moderating the posts in this list would be the best solution if they are not moderated already (sorry I'm new here so I don't know for sure).

Please valve, can you create a GSP only mailing list, its becoming more and more a case where the Linux list is becoming a technical support mailing list for people who cant be bothered to RTFM and do their own research on how to (for example) install FC4 onto their server as they are 'new to Linux Don't get me wrong, this isn't a flame, I'm almost 100% sure that the more technical issues would get solved a lot faster in a GSP only list, I also think a lot more people would contribute to the list if it wasn't full of useless flame threads such as 'I'm getting lag since the update, what has valve done now' or 'Mani-mod isn't working, ffs valve' and the alike that the average Joe Bloggs posts on here at times. Obviously the most important thing would be to vet people signing up to the GSP mailing list to make sure they are who they say they are (maybe a companies house check up on the company registration number they would possibly need to supply?) it would unfortunately mean a little verification work at first but I think the benefits from a new list would be great! What opinions do other regular, proper, list users have? ----- Jon Roberts Technical Director AmmoBOX Networks (Ltd) Web: www.ammobox.net Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
