The solution?

Sorry I didn't know which thread to put this in so moderators feel free to move it to a more appropriate place if needed.

Now everyone knows that server crashes are one of PRs biggest problems since 1.0, that's just a fact. Since 1.1 it has improved but it is still a major issue IMO. Now I dont know anything about programing or anything like that so chances are im probably way off here but a solution of sorts to this problem randomly occurred to me yesterday. On average a server crashes roughly after 2 or 3 whole rounds and then restarts and everyone has to rejoin and so on. My idea is that at the end of every second or third round the server automatically restarts and everyone automatically reconnects, but this is done seamlessly so its as though the server is still running as per normal. Essentially this saves everyone from disconnecting half way into the third or fourth map and having to repopulate the server all over again. As i said before i know nothing about programming or anything like that so this is probably impossible or extremely hard to do but I thought I would just put it out there anyway just in case. If it is totally impossible feel free to close the thread, I just wanted to throw the idea out there.
