I have hosted a server for over 4 years now and I only do it for my own entertainment and sorry Valve, but the best part of running(and playing on) a server is all the cool mods these kids out there like Mani, Mattie, the sourcemod folks and now more than ever Beetlefart and of course others have come up with. I'm not blind though, I do realize there are serious CAL type gamers out there who only want vanilla servers, but I do believe that there are more who like the fun stuff that's been added on. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe Valve could care less about these mods, but if so, why make a completely different tab that only shows up if you are already in the game? That part really confuses me because I run steam from windows, I decide what game to play from my steam client before I go into the game, even what server. So, I rarely ever use the steam search while I'm in the game. So, why is it that Valve decided to put the tab there and not in the steam client I use before I start the game??? That part I don't get at all. But in all honestly, I did check out the new message from the update tonight and it seems fine to me. Do I think anyone will notice it? I doubt it, will they use it? I hope they do. I do, however agree with most people on this list that adding this type of thing to the current filters would be much better, but then again, I make no money from my server, so it doesn't affect me the same way.
Also, I'd like to say I am glad to have this list and am very appreciative of the few people from Valve who do send out updated info, even though we never hear from Alfred anymore!
