Browclops server unstable

Browclops is the most unstable server i have ever come cross, with an average of more than 1 crash every hour. Can anyone explain to me why is it so?
I have heard that the server is being hacked into, but this just put to show that the security measure is not tight enough.

Can u say NOT!?!?!

Donot, give me a break. Brows server is full ALL the time, you have to dock yourself at the computer and hit enter for 10 minutes to get in.

The ping is amazing, the resets are planned, and the people there are great. Maybe you have a hidden agenda here? If you don't like it, head over to a different server and let all of us who play on Brows server enjoy it without your negative attitude.

Maybe its unstable as ppl use mods, your not using a mod that is crashing it are you?

Was only unstable yesterday. It got hacked I believe, but was repaired in short order.

Browclops' is by far the best server I've been on, and the hacks and such are just a side effect of the admin taking a stand vs cheating.

Of course, not a bit of data was lost, I was still floating in the same chunk of nomad space when the server came to..

It's amazing that after 80 some days of stability that some people are willing to dog on a great server after a couple bumps in the road. This was bound to happen because of all the losers who feel they need to cheat and ruin the fun for the rest of us. Browclops is still an incredible server and a couple rough days should NOT cause people to think otherwise.

I think Browclops is running a great server, I played on there for hours without a hitch, the only time it screwed up is when some dumbass tried to log on running a cheat, and even with it's current problems, it's miles ahead of a lot of servers.
Frankly I'm glad it screws up whenever a modder comes along, maybe these cheating f**ktards will get the message and stop trying.
Considering that it's FREE!!, No-one has any damn right to complain.

Ok, I've gotta say this: Browclops has to be the best damn server out there! Incredible pings, virtually no detectable lag, even in big battles, but that's not what's best about it. What makes it so great are the people. I've experimented with a lot of servers since getting this game, and nowhere have I encountered such a cool group of players. I've been playing this server exclusively for a few weeks, am just now beginning to interact with some of the regulars, and have yet to encounter the kind of B.S. that I've seen elsewhere. Hell, these people are even cool when they blow you away: They give you pointers on how to improve your technique, and will duel with you until you have it down. Yeah, to put it simply, it rocks.

Wow. It seems I just got promoted... WOOT!

That's what I found right away. It's a great server to improve your deuling skills. You spend alot less time trash talking, and a great deal of time just improving. There are also a very skilled cadre of duelers there. I think the server tends to attract them, due to there being millions and millions available to a dueler who has the right stuff to take the prizes.

On the other side of things, there is a healthy business atmosphere, with players running high class weapons to the central core and selling them for profit. You can get a decent price on those tizonas or Dbax right in the heart of New York much of the time.

Of late there seems to be a great deal more clan action happening, which has previously been absent. And yet, the clans don't seem to own the server, with the top duelers pretty much enforcing a fair and equitable playing atmosphere wherever they go. A great place to be!

Right about the atmosphere.

Although I do my part to add an edge of unpredictability, dueling has become surprisingly well defined.

I found Browclops many months back after it had just been opened, and I have advocated no bats / bots 1v1 dueling since that time. The result is a very professional and friendly atmosphere when it comes to duels, which is frankly something I never expected to come of it's own.
