Help picking stable servers

[DevilDog (DayZ) 455]

Ok, so tents seem to be working on most servers I play on. Vehicles are even working (well the 3 I have found anyway). The problem I am having is I have set up a decent camp with a bunch of gear on several different servers and 3 or 4 servers have just vanished from the list never to be seen again. The last server that I have a camp set up on now has not had a reset in about 5 days, which scares me and makes me think it too will vanish.

Anyway, is there a way to see how long a server will be around for? Or how long it has been around? I am tired of losing gear NOT due to the alpha conditions, but due to servers vanishing.

arma2.swec.se seems to have logs for when the server was first scraped - for instance ours @ http://arma2.swec.se...ver/data/280158 has its first record on 2012-07-29 17:51 - not sure how far they go back though.

My server definitely is not going anywhere any time soon. 6 hour run times and restarts between each. Active admins and I play on it daily!

So if the server does not show up on there it is gone?

It means it's currently offline, yeah.
