Well the comments to this thread do kind of prove my original point even though they're off the original topic. The "stacking" issue gets so many people heated that some people basically accuse anyone and everyone of it.
My point was that versed and I play at most 4 hours every 2 weeks together and we try to get on the same team, when possible to do so (without abusing admin or the autobalance feature) and yet we are accused of stacking as well.
You take ANY regulars from SourceOP servers, pluck any random two and then see if they *happened* to be on the same team for 4 hours or so during the past 2 weeks...
I once witnessed people crying "stack!" when there wasn't a single player on the server with more than 6hrs. time on server. These players barely even knew one another. But one team was losing so it must have been a stack, right?
It's like "The Gamer Who Cried Stack!" People complain about it so much that it's difficult to implement any type of system that would help those small percentages of the time in which it might be an actual "stack".
