Declined BLW forums Server Browser

[Chris TCC]

I was thinking, many people are scared of using the TF2 built in server browser. it's old, clunky, and has tiny text.
Instead, why don't we get a Forum-based server browser? let's say, here on the hotbar?

I think it'd be nice if we had a "servers" button, that gives a list of servers, maybe with filters (region, gamemode, server size etc) where people can browse with a simple and clean UI, and join straight from the web. Would help newer people navigate our servers easier.

Alright, I'm going to give my opinion... It never hurt try this out anyway. But like there is tfstats for reason unless we have more people “not being rude” lazy.

I am giving this as neutral.

I think if there was a button specifically for the server list, that it would be more 'user friendly' for new people (as they have no idea that the stats page or ban page has a server list.) But renaming the stats button to server list would probably also just work.

I agree with this one, renaming stats to servers would be a better idea.

I think the best thing is to just rename it to "servers & stats". This way people looking for servers AND people looking for stats will easily find it.

Heh, guess I've come back full circle.
Doing some background dealings with the whole forum restructuring thing, but having a server list isn't all that beneficial, not to mention we have tfstats and the sourcebans site, as well as 3rd party services like teamwork.tf and gametracker.com.
