How often are the servers restarted?

When I first made the transition to Raged Gamers I did a lot of idling on your 2Fort server but stopped because I kept getting disconnected. I'm on a solid lan line and have never been disconnected from any game server since I've gotten it.

Last night I was able to stay idle while I slept. This morning I joined up before I left for work and now I see I'm not connected anymore. Was the server restarted or was I kicked?

If it's was caused by restart that's fine but give me times and dates they get restarted so I don't waste time joining when it does no good.

The servers get restarted once a day, mainly in the morning.

Yup.

There's nothing set in stone at the moment because we're manually restarting the servers, but when it gets automated we'll probably have the servers restart daily at 5AM.

What's the point in idling? I don't see it >.<
Maybe because I'm asian, and my eyes are too non-existent to see it...
I admit my eyesight is bad. lul

He is idling in our tf2 servers to help generate player population in our server(s). This is what everyone should do rather it is css or tf2. The more people who idle the more popular our servers get.

If you can restart them before 7:00am PST then I can idle for at least 10 hours while at work.

You bitches need to idle the Team Fortress 2 servers. It's working, we have a great count on the server right now. If we can get people to help me idle in that server while you're sleeping or like me, at work.

It don't matter if you leave the house for an hour or two, idle. If we can fill Team Fortress 2 - 2 Fort we can have no problem filling the rest of the servers if we can get people to idle (Start with 2 Fort first :) )
