Well I might consider keeping mine going, by advertising 24 slots but actually having 32. Don't know if it will work or not. But if it wastes Valves time and pisses off the "I hate 24+ slots" crowd then great.
The misinformation begins. Players start to lose, because they don't know what they are getting until they have connected and it's Valves fault.

I installed a plugin to have a 32 slot TF2 server. No hex edit/hack or something like that. It was a normal plugin --> And my server is still removed from the serverlist. Give a community the support to create addons/plugins/mod, but remove their servers if they use it... great! What should I do now? Live with it? ... No... Two options: - Shut down my server to run something else - Reduce to 24 slot with the known, that I will never play on my server, because it is too empty for me? --> Result is a not needed server --> Shut down to run something else... grr > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von > Thomas Morton > Gesendet: Montag, 15.
