Well I’ve been waiting patiently since the 27 of August 2005 for my ISP IP to be un-banned from the Steam Forums http://forums.steampowered.com/ as it has been banned for no reason at all, though my guess is that somebody who uses the same ISP as me did do something and that they banned him which also banned everybody else using the same ISP.

The message I get is the following:

Well anyway I’ve emailed webmaster@steampowerd.com twice since the 27 of August 2005 and like I said before, I have received no reply what so ever, so today I have taken this one step further and that is to email Gabe Newell – Founder/Managing Director of Valve Software in the hope of finally getting this problem solved, I have also explained in the email how all this time I have not been Playing Half-Life 2 or any other valve product that includes modding and mapping which I greatly enjoyed, I have done this to show valve how a simple IP Ban which shouldn’t be anyway can make a very loyal fan very upset to a point were he doesn’t even care about the company anymore, I’m on that very edge right now, so I hope I get a reply because if I don’t I’m just going to forget about valve and everything they have ever meant to me, it breaks my heart to say this but it’s true.

I was going to include all my emails here in this post but I have decided to not as I’m giving Valve one last change to promise me that this issue can be resolved quickly to gain my trust in them again.
