I'd be happy just to see my server, lol. After update it disappeared (24 slot 
server). In the tf2 browser I see about 50 servers and 5 custom. I don't have a 
problem with inet/cust, my problems always been battling to see my servers on 
the list (hlds/srcds and now orangebox) and the myriad of others out there.

Should we still be running: ?

// old (outside-of-Steam) code to communicate with master servers.
sv_master_legacy_mode 1

- Added Custom Tab explanation dialog to be shown the first time the
server browser is opened

Great! A dialog that will be closed before it finishes drawing the text, and
then never opened again.

The average gamer looking for a server will close that dialog without
reading it. I suggest valve put a statistic to see how long the average
player has that dialog open, and they will find out:

1. A majority of the players are very fast readers that can read over 1000
words per minute.
2. Players don't have the dialog open long enough to read it.

That's a shame, because I want to use sv_tags without being penalized for it
and put into another list where my servers will go to die.

Hell, I can't even run a vanilla server with sv_tags vanilla, my vanilla
server will show on the custom tab.

The two tabs idea is broken. Quit wasting time working on a mechanic that
will be fiercely fought. I can make server modifications left and right
without sv_tags being modified, and I will have no incentive to properly
list my server modifications if I am punished for it.

If valve starts delisting servers about this, it will be the beginning of
the end. Especially modified servers that don't forcefully modify the
sv_tags, but just install addons that do not advertise themselves in
sv_tags.

I can turn my servers into instagib deathmatch without it changing sv_tags.

Subject: [hlds] Team Fortress 2/Dedicated Server update released

The required Team Fortress 2 update is now released.  Please run
hldsupdatetool to receive this update.  The specific changes include:

- Added Custom Tab explanation dialog to be shown the first time the
server browser is opened
- Changed Medigun Ubercharge meter to drain faster for each target that
still has Ubercharge beyond your current target. This means there is a
penalty for having multiple people being Ubercharged at one time
- Fixed crouch-jump exploit that allowed players to get outside of the
world
- Fixed bad characters in the chat string when achievements are
announced in languages other than English
- Fixed a few instances of truncated text in the menus and dialogs for
languages other than English
- Fixed problem that was preventing some dedicated servers from
uploading gamestats
- Fixed scoring bug during Sudden Death when the map timelimit is
triggered
- Added the string "(extra slot was added for SourceTV)" when maxplayers
is increased for SourceTV
