GMOD Prime is an alternative server browser. instead of listing every server, server owners get to add their server with a name, description, and banner, and users get to vote and favorite them.
most of the info and stuff is covered on the website, so give it a try and let me know what you guys think!
also, please take it easy, cause it's still in alpha!
I'll be adding some servers very soon
Added two of my servers, looks pretty good so far.

also two things: On the front page, the first character of the server name is always capitalized, and your privacy policy is "???"

the capitalizing is intentional, would it be better without it?
also I didn't think anyone would bother to check the usage agreement or the privacy policy before I had a chance to learn what to put in them :v:
Awesome! Let me draw up a lil banner and I'll submit mine
I've been waiting so long for one of these! Thank you :v:

TylerB's "branding" is all lowercase.
I hope this really catches on - would be a great way to attract people with brains to servers.

Found a bug: Newlines in the text editor for the server description aren't newlines in the description when it's submitted.

another bug: if the server owner doesn't have http:// ahead of their website url, it just appends it on the end of gmodpri.me on click.
A friend of mine told me that it took him 1 account to make Aeternal's server number 1
I looked myself and I must say it looks nice :)

fixed both, thanks!
How about a Gamemodes section?
Is there a reason why I'm not able to see banners?
on the servers page you can search by gamemode, is that what you mean?

added you on steam
If anyone else uses Kaspersky and has this same issue just add gmodpri.me to your trusted URL's
Edit:
Or you can wait until he finds out what may be blocking the IP's.

it's probably because of the ips in the filenames for the banners, they're formatted as ip.port.png
I guess I could change it to use ids
Awesome! I added one of my servers with a 10 minute banner made from my Steam avatar. I'll get to the others later.
I already did something like this to mellow out the server spam on reddit with /r/GMServers, but this is a way better method.

Needs a logout button :p
Added my server, terrible logo made in 20 mins, ill get around to making a better one later

thanks! I kept it like fp by hiding the logout button, but you can just go to /logout to log out
I'm working on changing the filenames to use ids instead of ips, and I may or may not have to reset the database. I'm working as hard as I can to get around it, though!
You should make it so you need to join a server to vote on it.
[QUOTE=Ott;46665601]You should make it so you need to join a server to vote on it.[/QUOTE]
that's pretty much impossible to do unless I constantly ask the servers what players are on and store them forever
I'm ready to push this update, and instead of having to reset the database, all that has to be done is that the server banners have to be reuploaded, will everyone be okay with that?
[editline]a[/editline]
shutting it down for a couple minutes so I can update, it'll be back up soon!
[editline]a[/editline]
sorry it took so long, it's back up! I took a while to change all the stuff for the update by hand, so you guys don't have to do anything
[editline]a[/editline]
I'm probably done for the night unless any more errors come up
on my to-do list so far I have to add a notifications panel and make the searching better, but let me know if you guys think of anything to suggest!

its about time somebody made this, i salute you OP
Great site, added my server.
This is really awesome! Wish my server was still up so I could add it!
is there any chance of you allowing gmod lua to interface with this site? then I could actually change the main menus server browser to a html panel that runs gmod prime or at least make a browser you can open while ingame.
That way it could all link together and when you click a server in gmod it will let you connect to it (or at least copy the ip to console since garry is a spastic and blocked us from running 'connect' from the lua state because its apparently malicious
