What just happened to the number of servers? Did the admins just decide they want to go with quality over quantity? Or does it have something to do with political conditions?
Probably lots of people trying to start another general instance that didn't draw any users and then deciding to shut it down. FWIW I think we have instances enough (from a users point of view, I don't think it matters much whether there are 100 or 1000 instances). We could be spread over the instances more evenly though.
