What is the purpose of these fake servers anyway? Do they have some ads
in the MOTDs to make money of or is it just to annoy people?

I already see 40-50 fake servers for same real server, all having 18/21
or 19/22 or 20/23 players. Probably they can still spoof the number of
connected players because the bots appear as being players. CS 1.6 does
not have a separate column for bots and the number of bots is not
subtracted from the total number of slots.
Unlike in TF2, Valve can’t blacklist the IPs, because these fake servers
are hosted by players and almost all have dynamic IP.

Nice, there is no longer a thousand of fake servers with gametype
"clasic". There are still many non steam/cracked servers in the list though.
