Hello everyone, I'm hosting a AAPG Server at Home and obviously we turn on the server when we need it. I previously added the server here and associated to my clan. After some days offline, it has been removed from gametracker.
My question is, how many days offline to be removed from gametracker?
Thank you so much

There is no exact time.
It has been explained to me as a combination of;
1) current recorded uptime
2) rank/popularity

A server that can be seen to be online is unlikely to ever be dropped automatically regardless of player usage whereas a server that has been seen to be online for only a few hours may well not last more than 48 hours once it is offline.

I am not certain that anyone could supply an exact algorithm.
Some servers have stayed listed for days, others seem to be dropped quite quickly, according to some calculation based upon the above.

The solution would seem to be to either experiment for yourselves or to simply bring it online every 24/48 hours, ensure that Gametracker sees it as 'Alive' for an hour or two and shut it down again.
It may help to put a player or a couple of bots online for the duration to demonstrate activity.

First of all thank you for your answer. I hope it will not be cancelled again. The maximum offline time would be maybe a week in my case. Let's see if someone of official support will answer. Thank you so much

It is also worth noting that, should your server be offline for a period of 24+ hours it may not appear on a standard view of that classification but, it may still appear under your list of favourites either on your profile page or if you simply access the SERVERS search at the top of most GT web pages such as this one.

Ok I get it. Last time it was completely removed. Not only from the list. I had to register it again. Btw thank you
