Sorry but valve failed to fix the server list with that mod. I see it every night at least 6 of those servers on that list I posted. Pretty easy to see it, right click steam, click servers, then click internet, change filters for Counter-Strike: Source Location US-West check off has players and is not password protected and refresh that. Then click players so it will show you servers with the most players on top. You will see for yourself. Heck spent a minute looking at this myself. Here is a screen shot for those who are too lazy to check the lists. http://club-destroyed.com/fakeclients.jpg Thats just a few of them I clicked on... They all redirect you back to The [-Q-] Clan servers. And they have 33 of those running. This has been going on for more than enough time.
