I’d like to point out that since Steam has it’s own messenger service, CS:S players usually don’t use Xfire and it’s still #4 on the list. I understand that the players on campus matter more, but this might make a difference.
And I am happy that CS is doing great right now and I hope it stays that way. And honestly, I would like to help bolster those numbers even more. But the big picture Im trying to show is that if we make a change to a few things, we may even be able to up those number even more. If we could revive the PC side of the club on campus, that would be great and we would all be happy. And I would like to try a few new things and a few old things so if you guys could just bear with me and give this a go that would be nice.
