I dont agree with you here. My two server are a lot less populated then
before the update. Normally my two server are full most of the day. In most
stats our two servers are one of the most popular server of the netherland.
But sinds the update the server is only full @ 20:30 in the evening and that
will only continue for a hour. After that the server is empty. Before the
update the server was full until late after midnight. But know the server is
empty @ 23:30

The only problem is that I don't have any customs things installed. Yes, if
have metamod and mani admin. But that is because I want to controle my
server of people that are abusing it. The problem here is that I can get my
server back to the "internet" tab. What I'm trying to do, its keep popping
up in the "custom" tab.

We don't have any other thing installed on the server: No alltalk, No fast
spawn, No 32 slots cracks, etc.. only Metamod and mani admin plugin!

Can anyone help me out how to get it back to the internet tab?

I have 3 servers that are in the custom tab and even though i think it took
a while for people to figure out where they went they are doing fine now.
Not everyone keeps up on this stuff like we do.  I think once everyone
figures out what the custom tab is for those servers will be just as
popular.

This new custom tab is killing once VERY popular servers.

Most players are stupid they either don't notice the "tabs"
or don't know what it means, hence don't even bother clicking
it.

"Internet" should list ALL Internet servers, if you want
to enable a filter for standard servers surely a tickbox
in the same way as "Server is not full", which hides and
blanks the tags box, is a much better way to go?

"Internet" and "Custom" simply doesn't make any sense.

If your going to have separate tabs:
1. Obvious names, "internet" = all internet servers not
just "standard" internet servers.
2. Make is consistent, not one interface for "in game"
and one interface for the "steam" global list as that just
adds to the confusion.

Personally I really don't think two tabs is the way to go
as that means for example I couldn't filter LAN servers for
just standard servers. So in my book this simply has to be
a just a filters option: "Only standard rules" or
something similar.

This should NOT be filtered by default as doing so would
be in contra to the rest of the design i.e. nothing is
filtered unless the client specifically requests it.

I understand that Valve wants users to have a good experience
but custom rules are the least of your worries here. This
comes from bitter experience when Epic enforced as similar
"default" filter in UT which killed off a large portion of
servers which where once the staple part of the community.

Choice is good, informed choice is even better, which is
what tags provides :) Its just the Internet vs. Custom tab
which needs a serious revisit.
