Servers Back Online
My servers are back online. There have been numerous changes made to the server settings and map rotations. The most important change, is that custom maps have been added to the LC server.
Here are the set-ups of each server . . .

There wasn't as much participation in the polls as I'd hoped, and the difference between less popular and more popular maps sometimes only differed by one or two votes. Which made it difficult to decide on the map rotations. I will likely change the lineup again, from time to time. So if a favorite map of yours isn't in the list, it may show up in the future.
I also took into account the nicely (and not so nicely) given feedback, about the server settings. Hopefully the new settings will be more to everyone's liking, though I know one can never please everybody. If there are any problems with the new settings, I'll make further adjustments.
During this downtime, I took the opportunity to do some experimentation with various server settings and set-ups. In the process, I made something of a shocking discovery. Which I'll tell all of you about, tomorrow.
