Hello
Bravo Force
You're a long time member and Dedicated Supporter of eGO and more specifically CS:S so I'll be completely honest with you. There just isn't enough interest or support from CS LE or Tech to maintain another Source server. Their personal time, interest and primary focus is firmly rooted in their game of choice, CS:GO. All eGO servers rely on the motivation and interest of volunteers within their LE and Tech to keep a server updated and working properly unfortunately we just don't have enough CS: Source representation in those areas to commit their time to another CS:S server. At one point I even considered paying from my own pocket for outside help to fix basic issues. Even with only 20% of the originally planned features installed the server received lots of great feedback from casuals and newcomers who came to play, but there was no one to the needs and breakdowns of the new Source server. Trust me, with all that I am I tried to the point where I may have even have lost favor. The loyal Source community and dedicated supporters deserve more.
The good part is Dust_2 is a powerful and valued server. It has respect and consideration within CS. The promotion of longtime and respected admin Cascsiany to LE will give Source a voice, real effort and committed representation on the behalf of those who have long felt unheard. Her fairness and clear maturity gives me tremendous hope for the future of all of CS as a division. I hope to someday see at least 2 more CS:S admins promoted to CS LE as well, but know that would be further down the road.
The Source community and Dedicated Supporters are amazingly loyal, and their financial contributions as DS members will keep Dust_2 running. Our stability is rooted in each other and an eGO clan that continues to give us a platform to share the greatest of times together, and that's pretty darn good.
P.s., we look forward to the day that you join us as an admin. You've always shown yourself to be an outstanding member of Dust_2 whose friendliness and joy of the game helps create a positive server environment and would absolutely aid our admin team. It's people like you who make better things possible. You have my full recommendation, so whenever you're ready let us know.
