-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] We have been using a cheap workaround, in the form of a writeid command stuffed into the screen after startup. However, I shouldn't have to hack up these work arounds and fixes when it shouldn't be deleting the banlist on startup in the first place. It's just annoy when our servers crash and we cannot issue the writeid workaround, and our lists get deleted (like during VALVe outage). That's why I want to see an official fix from this bug.
