A while back, I had problems connecting to any Quake 3 servers. Those problems ended up being incompatibilities between point releases. Now, however, while I can connect to servers just fine, I can’t find the servers I want to connect to! More specifically, the monster.com (ra3.monster.com) and Smackdown (http://www.smackcentral.net/) servers seem to have disappeared… I played almost exclusively on those servers and had forged a pretty nice banter with the regulars. That’s all gone now, and so I’m less and less inclined to want to play Quake 3 as a result (I’m sure she is terribly disappointed ;).

It’s like your favorite pub getting shut down. You get in your car (turn on your computer), turn on the ignition (launch Quake 3) and get ready to drive away, only to realize you no longer have anywhere to go.
