I hope someone at Valve at least looks at the declining player count and
the gametracker rankings. I know they don't take server owner opinions

I'm tired of repeating myself to people who only read the last email

be copy and pasted every time.
1) TF2 has fewer players after community servers were removed by default on
January 28th. Player count is the most unbiased
Funny thing about that. They never competed equally. Valve servers always
had the advantage and yet community were still more popular despite that.
At the minimum valve servers got new players for the first 8 hours of their

Very few players use the server browser or change the default settings when
looking for playing a classic game (not prop-hunt, saxon, custom maps

If any other option has Don't care chosen, the Gameserver Host option will

If this is how it's meant to be, then that needs to be changed - If we don't
get listed in 'Valve servers' option, then Valve Servers shouldn't get listed
for Community Servers.
All other filters are 'default'.
