So basically when trying to open the WGN group, I got "greeted" with this "lovely" page

I have literally no idea whats going on, apparently Carl didnt got informed by Valve in any way about the reasons or such.

I hope they will find some way to continue the group activity, as right now it doesnt look all bright there..

Edit: There is a temporary other group meanwhile for people to use : http://steamcommunity.com/groups/wgnchat

As what comes about GL promo keys: since these were done on a third party site other than the currently closed group, technically speaking they were not affected in all. Now what comes about possible promos in the upcomiong futur, its really up for the admins to see. Right now, they should be really really careful though so that Valve doesnt close their second group

UPDATE 3: Its becoming pretty clear that the group in all will move to http://whosgamingnow.com/ . At least Valve cannot do anything there, since its not part of their service. There might be a slight hope for the community after all...

If there is anything new, I will of course update the post

EDIT 4: Since the other thread got closed, I think it would be easier to merge all these subjects in this topic as one standalone. Please try and keep things civilised as much as possible, thank you. Instead of jumping on the old thread, maybe try to come up with some constructive comments. Its not a flame war that we want to achieve as it would make certainly more harm than good. If you want to help us out, please do join WGN website and wgnchat if you want to support CarlMundo and all the other ones working hard to keep this community alive as much as its makable, but please, DO NOT make your own "vendetta" against whoever you consider the culprit. If we want to get our voice taken seriously, we need to act like such and think cool-headed

UPDATE 5: So it seems we have more info about the details of the group closing. To quote from Carl: "Today I finally found out from Steam support why the group was disabled. It's because we were running contests on the forum (contests hosted elsewhere were fine). It wasn't because of our greenlight promotions or certain individuals. "

Im pretty sure that all those GL promo haters are now biting their nails hard

UPDATE 6: WGN is back on the website!! Goood news everybofy

Steam is a byatch, period. I've never seen any support worse than theirs.
At least WGN keeps their word, I still got my keys.
Also, since they sell games for the same numerical value in € as $, and also generate infinite amount of money with the market, they would pretty much deserve every single crossing of their system (for example the guy who wrote a bot to farm 100-300$ a day, and got suspended for a year of trading months later). Corporate prix make me sick.
GO WGN! GAMING WILL LIVE ON! And I'd love to see more of those indie games!
