Game is back up 
However, I must warn you guys that the server is struggling with this game. It took nearly 5 minutes to load the game, and the process is still showing "Not Responding" every 15-20 seconds in Task Manager. This is on a new Haswell Quad-Core i5 3GHz CPU with 8 GB DDR3-1600 RAM, so it doesn't exactly bode well this early in the game.

Those of you prone to putting down a million signposts... 
Cal, I think your server is just waiting for a good workout and we're happy to provide one.

I think we should all give the server a break and not explore. Kill your near neighbors and THEN look for new people...

This does raise a question, what is going to happen when we start making map trades with everyone?

I've been under the impression that map trading is completely disabled for this game?

Guys, I made a mistake and clicked on the lurker thread from this game. I read a post before realizing what I've done. But I want to keep on playing, especially because I need to cover for darrell.
I'll explain the post I've read in spoilers below, so lurkers could give input about if I can keep playing or not.

We have a serious issue with the game as is right now. The game frequently keeps going into a "Not Responding" state, as I wrote earlier, and it is impacting the general performance of the server, hogging up to 100% of one CPU Core. Since this is not an issue with any other of the Putbosses I am running, I feel pretty sure that this is related to the DLL modification made to the game to allow the number of players.
If someone else has the opportunity and insight as to find out what the problem is, please let me know, and I will forward the last savegame I've got and the admin password (understand that this needs a certain amount of trust, obviously - but that is the core of the RB spirit anyways, right?).
For now I am afraid I have to take the game down, as the problem is impacting the server so bad that I am unable to work with a webpage I need to finish up. Either send me a PM, or contact me on Google Hangouts (caledorn [at] gmail {dot} com) if you are able to help. I will be around for a few hours before going to sleep.

Oh sad. I really hope we can find someone that can take on the hosting of it. And before we start losing people from it being offline too long.
Also sad that I'll have to actually learn two server names, rather than just changing the last digit of the port when flipping between PB18 & PB20.
