Message-ID:

I have thrown together an experimental CGI which is supposed to work as a

directory of existing Quake server lists on the InterNet. (This isn't a

new Quake server list service, just a directory of current ones.)

When you bring up the URL, it will give you several lists of Quake servers

generated by existing Quake server lists out there. Currently, Stomped and

Deicide's lists are listed in the CGI, both used with permission. The page

also reloads every five minutes, if you're using a browser which supports

refreshing (like Navigator.)

The goal behind this was to create one page which mirrors many server

lists, instead of having to go to several server lists in order to find a

specific Quake server. So, convenience was what I had in mind. You decide.

The URL is:

Legal disclaimers at the bottom of the page mentioned in this URL do apply.

Send comments, flames, etc. to me...
