Umm... let me take a wild guess here and say because they can complain to Gamespy about us being a warez site and shut our asses down? Yeah, that seems to fit. Unless you're planning on hosting a few gigs of files and enough bandwidth to support the incursion of thousands of parasites a day, I really don't recommend you consider anything to honk off Gamespy too greatly. It's fun when you're not a dependent (like me), but they've got short tempers (which I can attest to) and are rather vital to the community's proper operation (which the admins can, if they ever bother to show up).
As it is, we don't do ****, promote a game so old even in the most perverse suit's mind there's no way for them to sell it or anything, and take up an obscene amount of space. No point in HLP making a worse tenant of itself than it already is. Independent satellites and private operations running under the radar on the forums, on the other hand... bwahaha.
