Hello ,
Two days ago my server has moved location and the ip changed from > 212.150.254.252:19567 to > 81.218.236.140:19567.

And on gametracker the ip didnt changed.. , Because if i will change the ip the stats will removed..

So i asks nicely to change the ip to 81.218.236.140:19567 and the stats will remain and not changed..

I dont want the stats will be removed, i only want the ip will change .

this is my server : http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/212.150.254.252:19567/

There is no feature to transfer statistics to a new server page or just modify the IP : Port of an existing page. If you have a new IP or join port, you must add the new combination.

There may be some feature in the future to help in the situation of using a new address. We cannot give an accurate time frame when something could potentially be created.

If your server is just as popular at the new IP, you will jump up in the rankings back to where you would have been. If your server is not as popular, it will go down to the same ranking in either situation - if the servers old rank was kept or if the server started at a low rank. Ranking is determined from a one month time period, so the server will be to where it should be in the ranking very quickly. The algorithm looks more closely at the recent week or so, so you should notice the biggest jumps fairly quickly.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

Not to start a new thread but yesterday my IP changed.
I currently have my server listed here on GT (dead) but to reactivate it I would have to delete it from GT?
My understanding is I'll lose all past info correct?

Yes you would need to add the new IP and Port information.
