If someone hates a mod or admin, then they are a dumbass and probably don't do things like SEARCH, so they can go on hating. I think everyone who has posted here knows how to:
A. Read forum rules
B. Search
C. Take criticism if they ask a stupid question
If a member can't do this simple stuff, then they can go on hating.
And another thing...good for HSD on closing some modding/hacking forums. It takes a lot of balls to do that here, as we are all modders at some level. You have to deal with a lot of shit from some of those guys (like the Counter Strike fiasco). But by doing this in C-S and H2, you keep the scene legit and respectable.
