Make Server Browser More User Friendly

So the server browser in NS2 is pretty good but could definitely do with some improvements.
For example instead of having the browser refresh anytime I open it let it refresh once when I open it and only refresh when I explicitly click the refresh button, as to not have to refresh anytime I leave the browser.
Also Blacklisting servers would be very useful, if favouriting exists why not stick in the black lists too.
And maybe implementing tags and a searchbar could be useful too.

So opinions? and ideas of your own?

    I would like favoriting in game, because I will almost always forget the name of the server or something later...

    Didn't want to create a new thread, so I will just revive this one ;)


    There are two small things that annoy me in the browser:

    - If I try to join a server and it decides half-way that it is full, I get "kicked" to the main menu. Would it not be better to bring me back to the server browser instead? I want to join a server, why push me to the main menu again...

    - If I am in the main menu again and get to the server browser, all settings and filters I used 5 secs ago before unsuccessfully joining a server are reset. Why not keep the settings at least as long as I don't close ns2?

    That are things you can overlook, but every time this happens it just jumps to my mind :P That's like changeing a 1-click logout button to 2-click account -> logout. It was easy and fast before, why steal a few seconds of my life with adding something between what I want and what I have to do in order to get it? Just a feeling you could describe as user friendliness. That lies in the eye of the beholder, so don't understand it as complaint. It is just a suggestion.

    Cetero censeo, a queue system would be mindblowing!

    Please add a player count filter so I can hide servers that are >16 players.
