I don't know about you, but I'm both a server admin (on my own TF2
servers) and a player (for other game modes not offered by my servers).
As a player, I wouldn't care if the motd were to suddenly vanish.
As a server admin... I still wouldn't care if the motd were to suddenly
vanish, because the only thing I use it for is a jukebox and that can
easily be replaced by clients (dun dun dun) listening to their own music.

This is SERVER admin list, you come with crap for the USERS which
shouldn't be here... its a DIFFERENT viewpoint.
Server Owners want:
- being able to show the MOTD for various plugins and MODs and/or
their community rules, McKay made a nice list of things that would get
broken if it went down the drain.
Clients want:
- no pinion / unsolicited traffic not related to their game.
The mailing list is for Server Owners, and ofcourse, SPUF is for the
Clients.

Providing links from public forums is not the same as providing
links from corporate press release web sites. I can understand
how the simple minded might fall for you shenanigans but Valve
simply does not represent itself as doing business with Pinion.
IMHO they would be foolish to do so.
I have been following this mailing list for some time now and have
yet to see any of the above individuals offer anything of value or
help to anyone other than themselves or their self serving
opinions. It would be a great service to the community if they
would remove themselves from this list.
Pinion does nothing to support Valve games and as a matter of fact
they detract from the entertainment value people strive for when
they purchase a game. They are capitalizing and promoted pollution
to the gaming community. If no one can post a better solution to
this issue, I would then welcome the motd removal altogether.
