I think CE got ignored because
1) Not enough advertisement. The message in the server browser wasn't enough. Kiddies online need advertisements shoved down their throats in big neon popup windows to clue in that something's happening.
Dude, the advertisement is in bright yellow--I think it's enough.
2) Elitist, arrogant, abusive trash-talking whores run most of the dedicated servers. There's no fun like getting on a server, being tk'd run over and insulted til you fight back and find yourself banned because it was the admin the whole time, instigating.
True, true, that does get irratating...but there are also a lot of cool people on Halo PC that don't trash-talk at all.
The moral of the story is: People use their game servers as weapons. Why do you think the hottest topic about dedicated servers is
HOW DO I KICK+BAN PPL!!@#&
Because that's what it's all it's about. Power. Over everybody else. Power that gets abused. I'm really starting to hate Halo PC multiplayer simply for the outright -blam!- attitudes most "admin" have with their servers. The alternative is BUNGIE-* servers and we all know how fun that is -_-. This is why the REAL internet is run by crusty old UNIX gurus. A server is more than a toy and it sure shouldn't be a weapon.
Maybe the people that make the ban threads you mentioned above are having the same online experience problems as you are. I have been kicked from stupid servers sometimes, but not a lot.
