ALAM STOP BREAKING THE S
The SRB2.org Master Server is the official Master Server of Sonic Robo Blast 2, and is the default and most popular amongst the community. The Master Server primarily functions as a list of SRB2 servers for players to join, or advertise their own on. Information on hosting a server on the MS can be found on the SRB2 Wiki.
The Master Server has also branched out into handling the banning of players from accessing the Master Server list, and managing the reporting of servers that have been submitted by users for review by an administrator. Originally, reports were handled by the #srb2fun bot, Crawla, but this system was found to be inconvenient, and as such reports are now handled via the board's Administrator Control Panel.
Crawla
Crawla, formerly known as SRB2MS, is an IRC bot that resides in #srb2fun. Crawla can be interacted with via various commands, which can be initiated through typing 'Crawla, command' where command is the command in question. For example, if you wanted a list of servers currently listed on the Master Server, you would type 'Crawla, gamelist'. For a full documentation, use 'Crawla, docs'.
Current Master Server News
26 October 2010 - Yes, the Master Server is running again. Thank you for your patience.
22 October 2010 - Yes, the Master Server is still down. We know. You don't need to keep telling us this by new replies and topics, we're (rather, Cue is) still working on it.
2 August 2010 - Due to abuse, we have disabled guest reporting. You must have a forum account to report a server now.
20 June 2010 - Currently there is a bug in the Master Server that causes it to shutdown every night at a specific time, as of yet we don't know what is causing it and therefore nor do we know how to prevent it, but rest assured we are working on it. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
21 May 2010 - The Master Server has been completely reformed, with a room system, etc. For full information on this chance, please go here.
31 Jan 2010 - The reporting system is currently undergoing changes, and as such you cannot report servers right now. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
28 Jan 2010 - The Master Server listing page is currently going through a major change, in terms of both functionality and design, to be more user friendly and informative. During this time, Master Server services may be interrupted for short periods of time, we apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
28 Jan 2010 - Crawla is currently absent from #srb2fun, he/she will be back in due time, Crawla is currently going through a rather major code overhaul, which will not only tidy up the usage of Crawla, but enhance some of his/her features as well as add a few new ones. More on this at a later date.

The Master Server Rules - These are the core rules of the Master Server, and should be adhered to or you will risk being banned from the Master Server.
The Master Server List - Moved from its old location, the new server list gives more detailed information on servers, while being completely integrated into the Message Board. The information available on this page will grow over time, as and when the facilities to do so are introduced.
How to Play a Game without the Master Server - The Master Server going down has been, in the past, causing problems for users due to not being able to host. This thread will give you information on how to host and join servers without the aid of the Master Server.
Support
Unless in specific circumstances, such as private details being involved, Master Server support requests should be submitted in this thread (this does not include reporting servers). In the event that private information is involved, please contact either Cue or Inuyasha (犬夜叉) directly via a Personal Message.
Feedback and Suggestions
If you feel there is something missing from the Master Server, or you wish to give feedback on the various aspects of the MS such as the design or rules, please give your input in the form of a post in this thread, as opposed to posting in the SRB2 Suggestions thread, as it is far more likely to be noticed and implemented if posted here.
