I did extend the servername today, maybe thats it, i'll give that a try and
then if not, then it maybe a DoS attack as you said. I'll keep you all
posted

The only think I changed was to remove the top two servers from gamespylist
and leave in the clan server.

Have you made ny changes to server variables? I seem
to remeber a problem in the quake engine that certain vars
like servername or motd were too big and the server crashed.

Then again, I could be totally off base.
