The mysteries of where we keep our gaming servers has finally been unveiled! We now have a page up at /gaming/servers which lists all of our gaming servers, tells you wether they're up and how long they've been up, what map they're on and how many players are using them. If you click the "info" links, you can also see who's on them.

Sorry for the yet more downtime. This is once gain due to ITS and the Onion being lame and changing settings/dieing respectively. An angry mob will be formed shortly to deal with the problem on a permanent basis, just as soon as Draconas can aquire AK-47's for everybody.

Fri 26 Sep
Apologies for the Molotov downtime this morning. This was due to the University moving Molotov into a VLAN and not telling us. As a result of this, we had to change Molotov's default gateway within the University network. Things should be back to normal now.

Mon 22 Sep
It has come to our notice that a few people have been getting mail errors. This is due to the fact that a weasel stole our POP server. This will be shortly fixed, by virtue of Si1entDave and DrWatson comandeering a Land Rover Defender, and going off-road to steal it back again. As is right and proper, we will be following the lessons learnt from the A-Team, and customising the vehicle. This will include the addition of both CB and UHF radios, increasing of the ground clearance, and adding a large M16 minigun to the roof. We hope that normal service will be resumed shortly. (Any suggestions for further Landy customisations to techie@)
