Of course, there's always an option to create a server that will only accept connections from a certain client. For example, you could use a challenge/response mechanism from the server when a new player wants to join. The client that knows how to respond is only the one that goes with this version ...

I'll try and find some time after Christmas to take a look at putting together a Windows client that can organise the server list according to various criteria (including ping time). However, my coding talents might need some dusting off!

I think a folder style display would be difficult to implement due to the nature of the menus and the fact that they have to be cross-platform. However, I think it would be reasonably straightforward to implement some options for the server list where you could set some preferences for the list of s...
