Dear TF2 Team,
We are approaching the 6 month mark to what we had been told would be a
temporary situation (i.e. the removal of community servers from Quickplay by
default). To my knowledge - unless I missed something somewhere - there has not
been any communication in those six months from the
Dear TF2 team,
Would it be possible for you to communicate a status as to if/when the
quickplay changes you made four months ago will be reverted to allow all
community servers to be included in quickplay again by default?
Fletcher Dunn had stated when this change was made that it would be tempor
As we approach the 2-month mark since Valve's servers were made the "default"
servers for all quickplay players, can the TF2 team give us a time frame when
they will return the system to a "level playing field" for all servers?
As it stands, the players who want to avoid all community servers now
Hello,
I know the TF2 team had said we needed to wait a bit before we started
migrating servers under the new favorites system, but since I've had my servers
registered and working under the new system now for a little over a week, I was
wondering how much more time we need to give it before it'
Hello,
Has anyone seen an increased amount of TF2 servers "hanging" since the last
couple of patches on Windows 2008R2 servers?
I've been having 2 or 3 of these a day now (mostly payload & dustbowl maps),

This is kind of a double-edged sword. On one hand, while I certainly hope this
deals all the "quickplay ad farms" a death blow (although it wouldn't surprise
me to see the more nefarious folks create some hack(s) to once again circumvent
these measures), it's a shame that so many long-standing f
I assume this is in response to all the server operators who are using those
MOTD ads and abusing the system?
If so - why can't you simply disable javascript/flash from working instead?

those kinds of advertisements on

We've had several DDOS attacks in the past several weeks. We now know the IP

Correct - and here's something else to consider.
DOS attacks have been on the rise this year, and it only seems they are getting
worse. Having the server's favorites NOT tied to an IP address would also help
mitigate these attacks.
Consider this: If server favorites were tied to the

Does anyone know how to block it? ___

Hello,
I've noticed a couple of small bugs since the last patch.
First is probably client-side (I think - but I'm not sure so I'll post it here
as well). A number of users have complained about the "Gib Messages" appearing
on their screens (the "your liver", "your torso", etc.) and not going away
been testing on TC_Hydro by letting the round timer run out. Please email
me if you the steps to reproduce the crash or if you have any crash dump files.
Thanks.

Can we get a ruling on the use of "Dynamic Slots" with TF2/CS:S servers and

Specifically, there are server operators using them to keep their servers at 24
