The liability issue is too great. Some bozo puts child p0rn in their banner, and Valve finds themselves in court. I have an 8 year old and a 10 year old that play on my server all the time, and sometimes play on other servers. I don't need them joining a server and having some xxx banner in their face. Too many children play Half-Life, and all it took was some bozo with an obscene logo to get Valve to take the feature away. It will never be given back to us.

I've brought this up before, Alfred even took steps to see WHY the banners weren't working. Then he remembered that they had been taken out of the engine, and I'm sure commented that they would not be coming back. Why they were taken out, I'm not sure, they were a nice feature, better to have something there than a boring loading screen during maploads. Really Valve, give us these back, they're no worse than having in game sprays etc, what harm could they possibly do?
