I will guarantee you this: If the 4th octet (4th set of numbers after the period) in your IP address is 1, 2, or 3, you will have a consistantly full server because of how the Steam server browser populates its list.

Do a little experiment. Turn off all filters on your Steam browser. Go to the Internet tab and tell it to refresh. Let it refresh about 10 seconds, which is usually enough time for it to load a few hundred servers. Look at the server details of all the servers starting at the top. Look at the 4th octet and they will all be VERY low.

I have recreated this on 2 separate dedicated Linux servers. And my servers have always been full.

It works!
