Right now the game is pretty popular. If you search for servers most of them are either empty, full, or very close to full. Obviously you want to join the ones that are close to full.
However, sometimes you click on a server that has 14 or 15 out of 16 players and by the time you actually try to join, the server is full. Oh well, try again. But you are kicked back to the main menu! Now you have to load up and refresh the server list all over again. The game should verify that the server is not full and that you can actually connect successfully before leaving the server listing screen. That way if you fail to connect, you are still on the server list and can try again with a different server right away.

This is either fixed in the new patch or being worked on. Hugh mentioned in the dev cast that it will soon query the server before attempting to join, rather than attempting to join and then telling you.
