Well that is total bs because valve is guilty of false advertising at this point. They are showing an ad that is misleading. Yes, that ad may be for a 'content provider' but its misleading in the fact that 99.9999% of people that see that ad think its from my company or that I have been bought out by my competitors or whatever.
The bottom line is this. Its MY server. Its MY bandwidth. Its MY cs server thats showing someone elses ads. The only justifiable time for valve to show ANY ad is when a consumer is updating their local cs install and steam shows an ad while they are updating. That being said, f*ck valve for releasing steam. F*ck valve for increasing the cpu usage by 40% +. Also, F*ck valve for not giving a shit and not listening to the community and not giving one GD iota of care or concern for the problems that have resulted for us admins as a result of the cpu usage and the bugs. I will actively support and test a server side hack to insert my own ads when someone connects to one of MY servers and use MY bandwidth to play a game or download a map. I sure hope someone comes out with a hack for it. As for you valve, get your act together. We are the lifeblood of the cs community. Without server providers you cant sell crap because no one will have anywhere to play. Start listening to us and fixing things or your gonna find yourself standing around with your dick in your hand while we rent out our spots to anything other than a valve/steam product. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
