I'm happy with that direction and hope it continues further down that course.
Thanks for giving another gathering spot to the community <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

P.S. Thanks to PAIN also, I'm a big fan of your idealism and tag.
Yes, we use speex. With a voicequality of 5 FTW!

Awesome! That is what I was looking for. Servers using the Speex Voice Codec, I don't see many servers using them. It's a big shame Half-Life 2 doesn't use Speex. Are you sure by the way you are using Speex Voicequality 5? Doesn't hear like it.
There has also been a lot of admin abuse ( in the past ) that has went down ALOT and im actually happy it has !_!
sometimes the stupidest crap happens though. Like when (and i shall refrain from using any names) some idiot jumps in the comm chair and decides to relocate in the vent near marine start on ns_caged. Crap like that is just dumb.. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad-fix.gif" />
I got banned in early July this summer for spamming ads for my servers and bashing g4b2s.... which I would never do. An angry player that had been banned from my server for disrespecting other players and admins, tagged a variation of my name (didn't take the time to even copy it exactly) and went around bashing servers and advertising mine. I had multiple admins come onto my servers, as I was playing on them and ask me who the hell I thought I was. I was obviously surprised and investigated. Turned out a donator from g4b2s had reported me on the forum, and submitted my steam id, not from the server console using status, but by looking up Ase in the g4b2s hlstats pages and finding my name, not the name that was on the server, but my original name that he had failed to copy right.
I was perma banned within 15 minutes. I was extremely insulted because I had long played on g4b2s and know many of the regulars. I looked up the stats pages the donator had retrieved my steam id from to see that I had not logged any news stats for almost a month, and then pointed out that the submitted log showed a different steam id. I was unbanned after a few hours, but still, the complete lack common sense in their decision to ban without verifying anything really ###### me off.
I read about the fun with Stain and he even got a hold of me the other day about an ansl team and the whole banned issue came up. I really think Cyko Mike made a bad decision, no pun intended.
well I guess i lied it looks like there still is admin abusing >_>
Then again, not everyone follows rules or plays fair. All of you prolly deserved it.

I would honestly say I didn't deserve it. I was never warned, kicked or banned while on the server. I just tried to connect one day and was banned. I don't know the story of Makaveli but his skill level is much higher than mine and they probably banned him because they thought it was "questionable," since for some reason they believe anyone in CAL (at the time) or better than their best players, are hacking.
The only "incident" I can recall was when a friend of mine was banned and I asked STAINMAKER (the admin on at the time) why and was told not to question or talk back to admins. So I just went back to playing. It was probably the next day I tried to connect and found out I was banned.
Maybe that's enough, but generally I'm a friendlying and willing to help. I've even tried to help them get an IRC channel up and running, and PAIN seems like an alright guy. I just don't know what happened.
As a fine alternative I would suggest going to 8.9.4.163:27015 (Teamplayguild.com CO) or 66.228.126.57:27015 (G4B2S.com Classic) as they are great servers and won't put you down if you are new.
i was drunken commanding on there the other nite.
the only con is alot of noobs around.
