My history in cs is from about 1.3 in a net cafe 10$ for a 2 hour session with mates playing on 175 ping in another country mostly we delt with spin bots back then and speed knifers.
that was over 20 years ago before gamespy (Welcome to gamespy) i used to get into games
Servers mostly for 10 on 10 and 32 man servers no ranked just fun and very little cheats and everyone kicked them once found.

1.5 GameArena in australian servers the forums there had a inhouse programme for competive :D was very fun very little cheats and demos could be watch and teams kicked when cheating.
1.6 better comps internode and gamearea also gotgames. for best in aus played there seasons of games was good fun.
cs source better gfx new maps good fun community servers more cheats more interest in the game.
CS:GO 0 cheats competitive game play good fun i even got as high rank as able all uptil 2014 when match fixing guys 21 dudes i think it was got busted and couldnt play then free cheats become available amazing right what toxic losers to put out the cheats.
i left the game come back after 3 years and still bad come back just before cs2 come out cheats still around but on a good day which is 1 in 30 you can get a day without many.

The game is full of cheats more so with more interest with competitive and money to be made with all the old accounts being able to be brought lots of cheats hide in old accounts.
A Better ANTI cheat programme would end alot of cheats and valve/vac/steam knows how to get it done but im not sure they want to put real $$$ into it, a vac bot in games would stop some of it hacks a guy made for a project in australia said that alot of hacks sync and can be seen but other cheats what.

A vac bot that had know cheats running on it syncing with them and removing them and anyone qued with them for 2 weeks would put a stop to it a 2nd time 6 month removal and a 3rd time Banned account do to cheat boosting would be great.

Cheats now i was told can see when they are getting reported so they trade there items to another account that they got before vacced or overwatched.

If you read this any admin or valve or vac guy im happy to explain over voice what i know and add more when i hear about it.
Thanks for all your work over the years with vac and bans its made the game a better place and a time to be enjoyed more when im not dealing with tilt and young adults toxic days
