-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I'm not sure if many of the people on this list exactly understand what they're talking about. While we do not like the fact that the CPU usage of the servers continues to increase, taking down a few servers for 24 hours is not going to ruin anyone's day...not Valve's, not the players, not really anyone besides the people who commonly play on your server(s).
Right now, as of 4:12 PM CST (GMT -6) there are *Total Players/Max*: 51,953 / 257,076 (20.21%). These are all public servers with sv_password set to zero.

I think not. Again, I'd like to clarify that I am also not very happy about the CPU usage going up, but shutting down a few servers for 24 hours isn't going to do much impact unless you can take down Valve's master server. Maybe you can create another huge storm off the coast of Washington? Personally, my servers will be staying online.
