I'd like to see an option that sorts out games without hub entries. I'm looking through unpublished and I just see tons of them without hub entries. no information but a title. It's becoming annoying, especially with all these MJ servers.
I heard supposedly there's going to be a sort feature on the hub, but I figured just this for now would be simpler and easier.

I don't know about filtering out games without entries, but I would like to say that I agree that the MJ servers are an abuse of the hub.

I agree, a thousand times over. But I also agree those without entries can be annoying. When looking for a game you want to be able to look at the entry, see if you like it, and bam! your playing or going on to the next. actually having to rely on the title or playing the game for a few seconds could A: keep you out of good games and B: be a waste of time.

I agree,I personally think the developer should be made to make a hub enty or have his game kicked off byond. 2 choices for the Developer of MJ.

Lets remember that a lot of times developers need to test code which can only be done when there is more than one person in the game. Most of the time they host their game to the hub, join with a testing key, and then set the host options to invisible. Filtering out games in progress would require each new little test game to have a hub entry, leading to a bunch of empty hub entries cluttering the server. I'm all for stopping MJ from having a separate item in the list of active games for each server it has (after all, that's what a built in feature was all about, multiple servers can all appear in the same hub entry with different world.status lines), but I am not for putting more hassles in the way of developers, or cluttering the byond server with a bunch of junk hub entries.
