Kudos for keeping more Q2 servers alive amplif1er, but it looks like there's something wrong, both WRT mod vs. port number relationship and general availability. Several days ago q2servers.com monitor was indeed reporting about ten active servers, but now it lists only three of them: play.q2lithium.com::Lithium DM 77.249.41.35:27910
play.q2lithium.com::SP maps 77.249.41.35:27911
play.q2lithium.com::RAIL-ONLY 77.249.41.35:27913Servers on missing ports (e.g. custom maps on :27914 or rocket-only on :27917) are not accessible right now (cannot be connected to). |

The only two servers running at the moment are: play.q2lithium.com::Lithium DM 77.249.41.35:27910 play.q2lithium.com::RAIL-ONLY 77.249.41.35:27913 The other ones are not running at the moment because nobody visited them so I had shut them down to see if anyone would notice, you were the first  |

It's a vicious circle: Q2 getting less popular, so people shutdown servers; less servers to play with comfortable ping, desired mod, etc. in turn leads to further interest decline and community erosion...
Running a Q2 dedicated server costs little to nothing these days, and I don't see reasons strong enough to shut them down (ir)regardless of how many visitors they'd seen last few months. Not too many servers left in the world these days; we should change this trend, not further contribute to it IMHO.
P.S. Mind the fact that not everyone noticing servers being gone would complain here or try to find you on IRC; those folks could've simply quit playing Q2 altogether and go elsewhere. :-(
