In trying to determine why so few people are connecting to our server (The Potato Patch) we realized that the Master server seems to be incredibly lagged.
I patiently waited for the Master server to return the servers to the list, when I noticed that very few servers were retrieved, and most distressing our server was not queried at all by the master server.
Now, we've tried a few things like restarting the server to force a new heartbeat to the master server. But that didn't seem to work.
There also seem to be threads popping up in the forums :

I'm inclined to think there's an issue with the master server, but I'm not entirely sure. I was hoping someone in the community would be able to provide me/us with a bit more information :)
PS: For those of you not pulling up any servers, if you'd like to manually connect, our server (the Potato Patch) is:
tremulous.patshead.com:30720
But with the Master Server problems, its been a bit empty this evening.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's jacked up. I was getting no servers at all, then triplicates of each shortly thereafter. Fortunately, I have all the server IP(s) written down on a piece of paper and taped to my wrist like a quarterback. So I can still play.

There were some issues with a server spamming the master server, a kind of (we think) unintentional DoS kind of attack. So now there's a limit on the number of gamestat updates a server can send to the master per unit of time.
Everything should be fine now!

Thanks for the update, I noticed everything seemed back to normal earlier today.
