Which was exactly my point and yet still I set it up. And still wait to hear from Alfred. Trust me, I have no love for fighting DDOS attacks every time some script kiddy gets pissed off at Valve but I'm "willing" to do it just the same. In a perfect world they'd dedicate their own box to get the job done but as we all know wheels turn slowly in corporate America. So I did what any corporation would want...made an example. Hosted it on a third party machine for testing. If they like it we do one of two things. Hand the keys over to the site or transfer the site to them for hosting. I'd just as soon see somebody in Valve give a damn enough to do this but it was hinted that "if you build it they will come". So, I built it.

If this is going to happen, someone at Valve needs to take the action. I think it's pretty obvious that if this kind of thing were controlled by any of the people on the list, there would be abuse such as simply blocking certain users. Not that the world wouldn't be better without people like Deacon, but it's still not a third party's choice. I'd like to see this kind of thing implemented, but by Valve and in the proper hands.
