Hey boys, I think that the best way is to join all of us in this case.
With statistics of servers ( windows Vs Linux ), and
"signatures" on one web or similar, will make more effect than
10 mails to AV with the same thing ( blocking mail is very easy
)<br><br>
So if anyone have contacts with AV and reflect that, maybe the utopic
"sync" win/linx updates could be reached.<br><br>
Anyway, AV have the last word, and maybe they have contracts with
Microsoft or anything else, I am hoster and the cure is to pass servers
to windows, so I have to buy more windows SO's, or I will loose clients.

It don't only need hoster but player together for makes it work... And
you know how players wants everything fast and don't really care about
wich hoster do it if they can play on the game they bought...<br><br>
Anyway it is too late, Activasion sold already almost 90% of what they
will sale for COD2 so why they would really care to release patch and
about complain of player/hoster?<br><br>
Since this happend with almost every games (Steam is an exception even if
it have other problem) I think it is made in purpose for strange reasons
(pushing from Microsoft for exemple to try to get Hoster to go windows
and bought thousand licences and kill a bit more Linux) or Publisher must
be really stupid, deaf, dumb and blind for not seeing what happend
everytimes they do this...<br><br>
It's just sad...<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Well the idea is good, but, I
think they read this list, don't you think?<br>
About the donation, Ryan told us allready that he is getting paid. I
think<br>
we will have to wait, until they release it (if they do).<br><br>
For the future to avoid these things, I think it would be wise to unite
as<br>
gamehosters. I don't have the answere atm, but we have some power as<br>
hosters. If we work together as a front and setup a package of demants to
a<br>
game, before we are going to host anything. This will only work if
80%<br>
agrees to that. I know we want to make money, but think of it as a
longterm<br>
investment.<br><br>
It's just a thought, dont' shoot me :), but maybe we can think something
out<br>
with<br>
each-other.<br><br>

plead your case for release of the 1.3 linux patch. Be
