[SIZE="2"]Okay, I've been doing some research, and spoken with a couple other servers owners, and I think I've come to a conclusion.
The server's under attack...
How: There's a server on the toplist that's infected with a RAT [It'll allow the infector to control your computer] and he's using his players to attack other servers.
Why: No one really knows... but it's possible that they're trying to take down the competition, or pass all the servers in voting.
What: He's using the IP's from his players to attack the loginserver crashing that so no one can login...
IMPORTANT:
If you've tried another client recently, please take 5 seconds to download this and run it.

That's software that will scan your computer and tell you all the virus's you have on it, and it's very helpful and useful.
I URGE ALL OF YOU TO RUN A VIRUS SCAN USING MALWAREBYTES IMMEDIATELY.
You may have been infected, and you could possibly be one of the attackers, and not even know it!
If you run it, and find something you're not sure about, leave me a PM and I'll be glad to walk you through it, and tell you what's good and bad.[/SIZE]
