i didn't think u where bad..but wut ever dude u dun want to be an admin at a server dat no one plays at..pd gaming is hella dead.and will forever be dead.if they keep there nooby admins.i dun understand how a ****ty player can tell the difference between a good player and a hacker.wuts a hacker.a player that does good with a third party program.making the player look like a player that plays really well.its takes skills to know skills..IMO

When I first started playing CS, I could spot hackers relatively easily. Of course I can do it better now, but I don't believe much skill is required to spot hackers. I think there must be an understanding of the gameplay first, and then the unbias view of evidence over a period of time. The amount of evidence and the amount of time given to be sure the hacker is indeed hacking is subjective and may differ from situation to situation.

Aimbots I'd classify as skill-less in determining that the hacker is aimbotting. The problem admins seem to have with situations like these are "OMGWTF he headshotted me with a TMP in 5 hits from 100 yards in half a second, he has to be hacking! OMG did you see that wall he shot at after you turned the corner in front of him? Totally HACKS!" and then the "hacker" dies in a gun battle where the "hacker" used a full clip that missed every shot and the "hacker" dies. The admin's bias simply places that death as irrelevant/useless/an exception/malfunction of the aimbot, or otherwise ignores any evidence that suggests the "hacker" is not hacking.

If the admin's bias wants to find hacks, he will. I agree these admins shouldn't be admin for this reason, but admins aren't a major concern at the moment, seeing as how no one is playing anyway.

Maybe admins got tired of getting killed by people better than them, banned everyone and no one can join because they're banned? Bahaha

I believe a lack of players in the server is due to the following:
-CS and CS:S split players in half, with the majority playing CS (perhaps due to CS:S being so resource intensive)
-PDGaming has no one in it (who would join an empty server?)
-PDGaming is playing random maps all the time and has end-of-map voting (until/unless cs_militia is far less resource intensive, de_dust2 ONLY should be played; no map voting enabled)
-Lag spikes (disable stats if this is indeed causing them)

..and of course there is only a multitude of other games to be playing instead of CS:S. With PS3 on the horizon, I don't expect it to get any better.

i deffinatly agree but it has been proven that with player/admins that had decent skills in either there admin abilty or there gameplay server would fill up rather fast.i say get rid of bots.keep it d2.don't limit awp.fix lag issue.if honestly the upgrade would fix the server under certian circumstance i will put in the rest of the donation for the server upgrade.most of my enjoyment in css has been in pdgaming and i would like it to stay in pd gaming.but i talked to players that used to play in the server on the server i play now.and they agree that nooby admins cry to much..its stupid.they claim hacker.and then they tell them to leave.its they don't leave..u see the popular time bomb.beacon and so forth.so i think we can bring the server pop back up.

woo for me (Im sorry host that I didnt take my admin power seriuosly but I wanted to keep the server fun, and when I left the server died didnt it?) anywho I think we should try zm maps theyre really fun and there isnt verry many of them.

..and there aren't very many people who play them.

good point masterx

lotso f their servers are full almost 24/7 giving our server a good change to suceed, or we could try scout knives thats a good map too.

heh thanks n e way..i'd be on more but i got grounded a bit ago : [

And now for the question everyone is wondering..
