I don't know, I guess it's frustrating to see other quickplay servers still popular after the update and other servers just suddenly empty for no reason. I guess the situation is OK for you as you have had a server for a long time and have built a community whereas our server has not even been active for a month so we needed the quickplay traffic to help populate it and show what a great server we have!
As mentioned earlier, I created a second TF2 server on Friday after I noticed the decrease in players. I registered the server under my steam account, however the standing and trend is still the same as my main server (Standing: Good, Trend: Downward fast) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 2 Date: Sun, 07 Aug 2011 17:52:17 -0400 From: Stephen A Yates <[email protected]> To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [hlds] TF2 Quickplay System Question - August Steam Update - Windows Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Idk. Our servers have benefited from the quickplay. We have been around since the game first launched and while we developed a loyal following, we have always struggled with getting new people to try our vanilla servers (we have always been vanilla). This has helped us compete with the 32p no crit insta spawn and all the other non-vanilla servers. While we have seen some drop off recently, we are still staying busy.

Message-ID: <cacsavzksjemrimk5z2rtgl2azqplqyqpwek0kqbntxyft1h...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 I'm pretty sure it's an issue with their extremely poor steam implementation with SRCDS. If you're looking for a probably permanent fix since everything thus far has been "Nothing has been changed but we're not seeing it anymore", craft your own replies. Kyle.
