We have found the search key to be fairly ineffective for our community. It's a pain in the butt for people to remember to use when they want to jump on one of our dedicated servers. When we talked it over, nobody wanted to deal with it.
I used to run one public and three Steamgroup only servers. At this point, I've taken down all four. I may or may not put one or two back up as Steamgroup exclusive once Valve resolves this. In the meantime, I've asked the guys what else they'd like to play. My guess is that for now, they'll ask that we put up one or two DoD:S servers and/or a no Honor AA3 server.
