It wasn't because of ad systems why this change took place. A good several months before the changes that ruined QP, Valve made it so that players joining through QP didn't see the motd and it couldn't be forced upon them by a plugin. This change happened BEFORE the Über-update that changed the Q

That's a rather narrow minded opinion if I may say so.

As someone who is neither a server owner, nor a member of any custom community I fully support this as well. Many of my favorite servers died when the quickplay update hit, and I would adore being able to find close "fuck around" servers such as those again. Y'all are doing god's work. On Tue,

I fully support this, and I also speak on behalf of MOTDgd when I say that MOTDgd also fully supports this. Hopefully Valve will take notice of this eventually and come to an acceptable solution for both themselves and the community as a whole to make the newcomer's experience a much better one. O
