That may not be your intent, but to quote PBL Gizmo from a mumble conversation we had
If the entire 6s community left and we managed to capture one percent of the pub community, pbl would be in the positive.
I don't know if this is something I was supposed to share or if it was more than an off-hand comment but honestly I don't really care at this point.
The goal of pbl is to make a profit off this community. I would be totally okay with that if they weren't willing to destroy the community in order to do that, but they are. They don't care about this community any more than they need to in order to make a profit in the long run, and like I said that would be fine if they weren't willing to get rid of the current community. But they are. Sorry but that needed to be shared.
I really do hope you manage to get this working for you though extine. It would be great if you could do tf2 full time, and people like Dashner definitely deserve a paycheck every now and again. I am just sharing the other side of the viewpoint in hopes that you better understand where we're coming from.
