Stealth I think your wrong about supporting cheating. There's a big difference between actively going after it, or jacking up it's priority on the todo: list but to say they support it a claim which really is not supported by the facts, at least in the not so distant past. That said it's a

Having the admins take down the server will be the only way of pushing valve to fix this. No servers = No one plays online = Valve in big trouble. I doubt it's an easy fix, but it's something they MUST do, why even bother working with a game that everyone just cheats in? Why should I be
