After a long and painful process Steambans has now closed. For many years a group of volunteer admins overviewed demo's submitted by members and helped to cut down on the cheats that make all on-line gaming a pain. Whilst we will never remove the cheats the fact that a service like steambans existed is testament to the fact that most people play fair. I am proud to have been a part of steambans, and I thank all those who were involved and all those who submitted evidence.
I also submitted demo's to steambans back in the day. Was a great service and its a shame to see it end but I think their ending for the right reasons. The community IS less active and there the demand for is lower. However you could say it was a success. It served its purpose and delivered a cleaner game environment for game servers, amongst a very frustrating cheat-ridden time. That's priceless in on-line gaming.
