The one other thing I think everybody can agree on is the idea that people do not use sv_tags properly because of the custom tab. For example, if the tag search was available for all servers, I would set my sv_tags to a2gaming, the name of my gaming community. Even if the servers were 100% pure without ANY form of mod or adminmod on it, I would go to the custom tab. Why? There are no mods.
I would use this feature to help people find my servers quickly and easily, since filter search by name is not possible (other than A->Z Z->A). But I would never do it now, since it would put my on custom. [My servers are actually 32 players, but that's the only mod. But what I said does apply to other people.] On Sun, May 25, 2008 at 10:27 AM, Timothy L Havener <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Does anyone else see what this is all a precursor to?
