Uhm i dont know the link to the topic, but here is how it works
Q3 deletes ^4 colorstrings in the server names.
but it only does 1 parse. quickly server admins realized that by doubling up the chars
so instead of ^1 type ^^11 and it changes to red. because only the middle 2 chars will be deleted, and the outertwo make the colour.

the downside is that in the serverdisplay the server name is shorter than without colours. because the colour chars are substracted from the allowed length.
