Server shouldn't restart. I control the dedi - only thing might have in a month or so is some slight downtime for when i upgrade to a c2d dedi.
If it starts to get really really busy i'll mate it to 32man or add another server
I think we need to start using the Steam Community. There's 722 members at the moment on there, and I can't ever remember seeing any events being organized.
don't know the score with TF2 but in most FPS games you play on a server with good admins and good whinge free players. Well adminned server is worth it's weight in gold.
you can always hop onto my server, link in sig, running pretty standard rotation (except 2fort as theres 1000 servers running it 24/7)
