    United Admins Accusation

    Counter-Hack has reported that United Admins, the crew which brought you Cheating-Death along with numerous other anti-cheat and server based tools, have been accused of being ones that are "voilating the licence agreements and the rights of the general public".
    I take no stand on this matter but if the facts live up to the research done then let punishment ensue. UA has been accused of advertising under the GPL license in past versions of StatsMe. While the new version has this removed, there is still commented out code in the source that shows plans for further advertising development.
    Whether this accusation remains to be true or not (let us hope it is the latter), only time will tell for now, however. You may read the highly intriguing article, from Take13, by clicking right over here.



    EDIT: Half-Life Radio, who spoke with GIR from Take13, has released their exclusive official UA statement. Stay tuned for the GIR interview.[break]"Really, we have no comment; DeNiro is so off base with his accusations that we find it quite humorous. If people want to try to turn UA into 'The Bad Guy' that's fine, we're just going to keep on doing what we're doing. We provide the community with software, and assistance to run their Game Servers. We also provide what has been proven to be the most effective Anti-Cheat solution available for HL based mods. "We have lines of communication open with both Will Day, and VALVe. If they didn't like what we were doing (and believe me, they are aware of the situation) they would have asked us to stop. So far this has not happened. "We would like to thank the community that has shown support for us over the last few days, If they are any indication of how everyone else feels, this 'issue' isn't really an issue at all."

            If this is supposed to be journalism... I'd be embarassed. A blatant spelling error can easily be found just from reading the first bit of it. Quite honestly, I don't know what a "voilated" is.



            I really can't take it seriously with such an obvious error...

                  Not quite. I remember seeing those messages, I believe in C-D. Just never really cared.



                  Anyone ever think that Valve don't care because UA has been a positive advertising tool for them. Of all they do Statsme is among the most common things to be found on a server.

                      Its really not surprising someone intentionally misconstrued what they stated in the comments as advertising. Regardless of justification, it seems like the cheat community -- lacking the guise of legitimacy -- would like nothing better than to shut down UA and its initiatives.

                        Wow I am disgusted with people like you. So he spelt one fucking word wrong, who cares? OH MY GOD, ONE LETTER WAS OUT OF PLACE. THE ENTIRE ARTICLE IS NOW NULL AND VOID, AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED. [/sarcasm]



                        K, now that I've dealt with the idiots, back to the topic at hand. Just because an rule that is broken may be small, or not a big deal, the rule was still broken. Regardless of the intent behind this article, if the EULA was indeed VIOLATED by UA, then they should have to face consequnces.

                          UA practically admitted it. stating that valve is aware and doesnt seem to care.... and punkbuster was much more effective, even if it was blocked or false positives were sent, to ability to lift screenshots w/out having the person know was the best, now people must be forced to get out and send an e-mail wiht he screen teh admin took via slowhack.

                            "they violated the licence agreements and the rights of the general public" As a member of this general public I would just like to say that I do not feel violated.



                            And a quick question since I dunno where this would go but I was wondering if there was gonna be a january calender desktop background, I had to actually move my mouse over the clock to see the date!! its jan 7th now!
