I learned a lot from this list, join around the 1.5 days say won shutdown, release of hl2 and the custom tab discussions. I was mostly a listener, I do remember when Alfred would answer e-mails. Thanks a lot guys I will take look at the steam forum Most likely never use it. but as far as I am concerned valves statements about supporting server admins and mod authors just became untrue and an all out lie to me.

Having Alfred here was a real treat, and there have been a few others that have come and gone over the years. But for the most part, we've been on our own. I don't really blame them for shutting the list down. Valve has made some unpopular decisions lately, and we on this list have not hesitated to tell Valve how stupid we though they were for doing whatever they were doing. I think it started going downhill back about the time Valve decided to push Steam on us. There was a huge pushback, but Valve didn't care - they did it anyhow. Likewise for several other decisions they have made that have been less then popular with us. Steam seems to have worked out OK for the most part, but I can't say the same for other things they have done. I guess it doesn't really matter anymore. I for one won't be joining the forums. I don't have the tolerance for their Nazi moderators, which is why I left the verc forums a long time ago. When this list goes away, I guess I'll be going away also. Can I get out the Thwack! stick one last time, and this time use it on Valve? s _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
