I did NOT shut down the CSDoom master server.

I heard that Nightfang said I shut it down?? I hope he didnt go around saying that shit for real man, that would be sucky of him.

Some people have problems getting to it, but best I can tell from here, it is up.

I am from "Some people have problems getting to it", and I heard about many other :(
May be try to restart master server?

Yeh I have seen no servers listed for over a week, using Bond's IDE prog and csdoom's own launcher :(

i can connect to it.

Yeah, it work now!
Probably some magic occured :)
