After last update I had 2 instances where I would time out on some tables, because I was away from the computer for about a minute, but when I come back I'm already kicked out of one of my tables for "being away for too long"...
P.S. thanks for implementing the requested feature

People react to having downloadable HHs emotionally rather that rationally. If done correctly, like download after 24hrs without player names, there is absolutely no way to turn that into a HUD or track other player's stats. All it allows for is tracking your own game. Yet some people have this primal fear of them.
Look at the MPN traffic right now and compare it to stars or party. That should give you a clue that you're in a minority by a great margin and that most poker population prefers trackable games.
Of course recs are outnumbered, it's 2019. Banning trackers did not change that. The fact that recs are outnumbered on MPN proofs that banning trackers is not an effective strategy. All it allows for is a compromised game integrity, by other players but also the house. Like running house bots that Alex alluded to in one of his interviews.
The real strategy for improving the echo system is lowering the rake. Rake is your real enemy, not my HUD mate

Btw RedKings poker shuts down in april. I am not surprised at all cos the traffic is so poor (even on micros) on MPN 
AFAIK MPN has the best rake structure below nl50 (excluded uni nl4)
Imo this is so unfortunate i had very nice RB on RK but without a traffic it was unpossible to play decent amount of hands.

I would take that as well but that's like wanting people to use fax machines instead of email. That boat has sailed long time ago.
Even if recs don't care/unaware about the actual rake they're paying they would still like it and notice if their deposits last longer. Which they would with lower rake.

I disagree. That´s not a good analogy. There is no reason to ban fax machines as they have no advantage over the internet for instance. There is no competition between a fax machine user and a internet user to see who gets a document sent to another party faster. However you can ban software because it gives players an unfair advantage over recs who are the ones brining in new money. Bad for the business in other words.
Yes i agree on the other point but the rake is not their biggest concern. Its how often they get that winning sensation i would assume.

I disagree with you!
Recs bringing the money for sure but the advantage of having a well built HUD is mainly beneficial against other regs with a large samplesize.
Against a rec u can not gather big enough samlesize to rely on in turn/river, 3b/4b pot situations!
When u play a pot with a rec it is enough to know how passive/agressive/station he is and exploit him by that and the notes on him
So not allowing HUD use makes the edge smaller among regulars and therefore pokersites can make more rake! Ofc another downside not having HHs on other players is to not have the chance to spot bots etc...
I don t wanna dig deeper in this cos it was mentioned above a few times.
