I wrote long time ago that a community should be able to add their Server IP's
in their Steam group, which then would appear to a new tab in the server panel.
Can change all you want, and usage is easy for the user, and easy updating for
the owner of the group. And as a side effect people would start their own
"favorite" groups of servers ofc... Which would be nice as well, for those are
often then close by and low ping for the area etc.
Still love this idea...
