1) Is fine since the player requests the HTML motd to be opened.
2) Is a non issue since if you want to be on Quickplay you won't have any

I do believe this is the real problem here: we all want our own servers and
there just aren't enough players to accommodate this all.
Maybe if some of these server operators shut down 25 of their 30 servers
they'd see their other servers stay full, longer.

Nobody's demonizing any other groups. The point is that eventually we'll be
left with just a few to pick from, as opposed to the multitude of options
available currently (albeit many don't ever see any players due to
Quickplay).

It isn't fair to mention us in the same phrase. I think you are well aware
of the negative connotations associated with those other groups.
We only ever expanded when all of our servers were full all day and our
players wanted more. This is not true about any of the groups you lumped us
with. We a
Maybe you should consider that the game isn't being made for the
server operator, but for the player.

My community's rules are intended to provide the best experience possible
to the players (which is the best way we can grow). But I guess you

When did I ever pretend to be small or a newcomer?
My servers run as vanilla as possible. If attempting to prevent team
stacking is invasive, then I guess I'm guilty as charged.
Of course I'm going to be concerned about my own growth. I play TF2 as well

Maybe you should consider that the game isn't being made for the

you weren't dodging it by defending your server's rules.

I'm concerned about the possibility of future growth of TF2. The fact that
Valve is actively trying to cripple community servers is not my fault. I'm

I like the bit where you wrote TF2 and Valve stole it the best.
Who do you have in mind to play you? Tom Cruise?

Bottiger: I have nothing against you or Lotus, as you seem to think I do.
My point was merely that eventually, we'll just be left with the big
chains. This means there's much less variety in the servers available to
pick from.
