So I have heard that Qtracker is not registering new servers anymore...is it true? What are our options now, vietcong1.eu and vietcont.tk master servers? My understanding is as follows (please correct me if I am wrong - Plissken or Ondra?):
Servers using Qtracker are seen by Qtracker, vietcong1.eu and vietcong.tk
Servers using vietcong1.eu are seen by vietcong1.eu
Servers using veitcong.tk are seen by vietcong1.eu and vietcong.tk
So for servers, the best solution is to use Qtracker if it is working (seen by all master servers)
For users, the best solution is to use vietcong1.eu (see all master servers).

Yes you r right. If you remember told it over 1 month ago ☺
Servers using veitcong.tk are seen by vietcong1.eu and vietcong.tk
Tested that as well for a long time. My results are:
Every ms shows his own list.
There is a workaround which i founded after many tests: i starting my server with tk ms , waiting until it shows in the tk list and starting server 2nd time with ondras ms. After that steps server shows on both lists. Look like tk saving the ip number. The opposite way dont works (1st ondra than tk). Seems ondra dont save ip.
So in my opinion its time that plissken and ondra synchronise the ms.
I agree we should use a shared serverlist, this is a mail I've sent to Ondra last week:
Hi,
I had made this diagram to explain the current ms situation:
http://vcfiles.free.fr/files/serverlist.png
The thing is, Qtracker is bugged since a few days and doesn't add new servers.
I think it's time to work on a solution to end the confusion: use a shared serverlist between ms.
Every master would need these rights: query the serverlist, update the serverlist.
This way, anyone could host a ms and strengthen the chain, and any IP in hosts file would give the same result.
What do you think?
Plissken
vietcong.tk
No response so far.
He still can contact me to work together on a solution.
Vietcong1.eu's solution actually enables decentralized solution, fetching game servers from multiple masters. (Open sourced at https://github.com/garncarz/nogamespy-vietcong, for programmers: see `settings.py`, `CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE`, new task can be added, `nogamespy.tasks.pull_master` is capable of accepting an argument pointing to a master server.)
So I've enabled this for 51.68.46.73, too, which should be Plissken's list, right? If Vietcong.tk fetches from Vietcong1.eu as well, we'll have a stable decentralized solution.

I have seen for a couple of weeks now that vietcong.tk shows at the bottom: "Synchonized with Qtracker/vc1.eu".
When I test, the result is correct...
Ondra, are you still fetching from 51.68.46.73 ?
If it's true, this is great news for VC
Thank you guys - your hard work is appreciated!!
