I am updating the servers as I write this. So far servers 1, 2 and 3 are updated...
Please be patient while the updates happen, and also be patient with server instability. Every time valve updates, servers are unstable for a bit...
you know the drill.

Servers are ABSOLUTELY crashing...

I will do my best to have it sorted out as soon as its possible...

Also, a discussion was happening before this post, here.

So I'm guessing THIS is why I just got disconnected and I can't find any of the servers?

yay update, boo crashes

So Valve lied. They said no more updates until 2009. I'm glad they lied.

I've tracked down the error.
We use an extension on our servers that lets us do 'no-wait' arena. I had this installed on all of the servers, so thats why they were crashing.
It has been removed from all of them, and the arena server will stay down until there is an update to the extension.

good, stupid arena, noone likes gman anyways.

Hells yes!

I love level three Dispensers.
