Aside from it not being particularly hard to guess the number of a
random group (as I posted earlier, it's probably just the primary key
for that group in Valve's database, since they seem to be sequential by
group age), I don't think there's deliberate misassigning of servers -
there seems to be a bug on the client end where a server from group 1234
will show up to anyone in group 123, and so on. I'd guess this is
because it's not looking for the exact number, it's just seeing if that
number is a substring of the server's tags (which it is, because
"grp:123" is a subset of "grp:1234").
What this ultimately means is until this is fixed, the earlier your
group(s) were created, the more bogus results you're going to see. I'm
in multiple groups with two-digit IDs, so the menu is getting a bit
unmanageable - it'd be nice if this was fixed as fast as the menu itself
was added...

Shouldn't a group admin have to approve adding a server to the group page?
