Well congratulations for being a special little snowflake? Now shut up if you are not going to say anything useful in a thread related to community server issues, in a mailing list specifically made for community server issues, instead of telling us to go to a forum where no Valve employee ever reads.
I am willing to bet most of us here are/were part of communities that did not host on lowest quality $5 servers. We remember a time when community servers were filled for 12 hours a day, every single day of the week. It seems like you only started your server in the past year or so since you don't know that countless solutions have already been offered and that community servers used to have many more players. There's nothing left to do but to call out Valve on their inaction and total alienation and betrayal to their community server players/customers.
