[Pride]

What's all this about?

its nothing new and we cant do anything about it

If you can't even faintly smell Zebra's lactose-ridden pectorals when you connect, it's not an offical Skial™ server.

First I have heard of it

I've never heard of this. Could someone elaborate?

Servers that are not skial that say skial in the name.

They're just sitting in the server menu?

Can't we do something about them stealing our name?

Well that freakin' sucks!

I can't find them, do the fake skial servers have the skial.com motd when you spawn?

 

[JohnnyGaloshes]

Perhaps we can keep a running list of server IPs that fake skial servers so we can add them to our blacklist?

 

[KillerZebra]

Thats pointless if you already have skial in your favorites.

We have a program that will save all these servers into your favorites list.

We're not going to be making a list of these since they pop up all the time. Just make sure you get the servers from the website and not from the browser.

If people search "Skial servers" like I do sometimes to connect to other ones, you end up with the Server API as first result anyways, so people wouldn't even be mislead by anything other than the server browser ingame. People that want a server list will not for them in the serverbrowser of TF2 individually.

although it would be funny to redirect players who are banned for griefing to those servers

OMG! LOL YOU ARE A GENIUS!!! We should redirect ALL banned players to random fake skial servers lol. That would completely cut down on all the Ban Appeals as they would most likely be too stupid to notice haha!
