I honestly don't get what the big deal about the hosted tab is any more.
I remember a time when there were 5 servers on the hosted tab, then it meant something
But right now, there's 1000s of server's on the hosted tab.
I don't think it's silly to think that the majority of players that use the hosted tab, sort the server list by the amount of players, and then join the servers with the highest playercount.
The forums and other channels are much better ways to get the word out and sell what your server is about because you can express yourself, and it's not just a list of servers.
So bearing in mind, again, that the only thing that the majority of players are looking at on the hosted tab is playercount, and also bearing in mind that players =/= quality, i.e, the amount of players in the server is not indicative of how good the server is, why do people think still think hosted is so important?
