Where is My Quake3 Server?

Well, instead of me explaining this one just check out the .plan update from Graeme Devine up there at id Software. Those Quake3 servers didnt dissapear off the master server, they are just empty. He explains how to get them back:

Some of you have commented on the master server being a bit odd right now. It's actually running just fine, it's just responding to queries for protocol 41, which is not entirely compatible with protocol 40. Only servers with people on there will actually show up. You can force showing the empty servers with the keyword "empty", but this isn't so useful since in 1.08 you can't combine that with game types (e.g. you can't say "empty tourney"). For completeness's sake, you can also say "full". But heck, if you type in "nude reptiles", you can scan that too and get exactly zip.
