Yeah, I really don't know how a non-server operator would make a strong advocate for community servers.
There are perspectives and insight that can only be gained as someone who operates game servers, plain and simple. That should be plain enough from the few people who always weigh in on these issues who clearly have no idea the work and dedication it takes to build a server community around a game, nor do they understand the impact of Valve directing all traffic away from community servers by default. I also think you're going to run into alot of problems in terms of "ideology" (for lack of a better word). For example, I know full well by now on this list who is "pro" MOTD/Pinion ads and who is against it (full transparency - I think they're a cancer that needed to go a long time ago), but for you guys that love those things, I doubt you'd find a single "non server operator" who would ever think plastering your server with ads was a good idea, since you're basically turning players into ad impressions, and trying to monetize them before you've provided any actual value. At any rate - have at it. I'd probably just be happy if you guys got Valve to actually say a single thing on the record about the issue, since they've been in "communication blackout mode" about anything substantive to do with community servers for over two years now.
