Wow... Good job Valve. This list has been incredibly useful to me -- and as others have said, I hate dealing with the forums... The fact that these lists don't have every single 13 year old posting here makes them incredibly useful... rarely have I had to skim through content to find an answer.
I guess valve just wants to squish out all the admins that run their games (I run 10 L4D servers at a cost to me -- I charge nobody... I run TF2 servers at no cost to anyone, I front the bill.. and now they want to remove more of our support channels.) Talk about really rubbing the wrong way...
