Popup cup reminder

Hi! Fine to see that there are full cups now!

Dede always tells me when there is something happening, but I think maybe it's useful to create a small "cup reminder". A little program in the task bar that gives you a note when there is a cup going on you like.

For example you select "Race, Xbumz" and "at least X players" and the programm checks all 10 minutes and will write a message when there is a server like this.

What did you think? We made such a tool for Turbosliders 0.86, but for 1.0 you have to get the player numbers per UDP insead of HTML, that's why the old tool doesn't work anymore.

Hey Flexman, nice to see you're still around.

Actually you can still get the server list from a webpage, this is the URL: http://turboserver.org/s.php?q=list.

Yes you can get it per HTML, but you aditionally need the player numbers per UDP because they are not correct in the HTML.

I think that would be so cool! I hate finding a server with many people.. only to find that it has been up for 3 hours and is soon going down.

Would be nice to have a little program tell me "Community Server now has 10+ players" so i can now when to check it out! Always know when a server is getting hot.

I was planning to program something like that in order to give better statistics in servers list (TS.com). Quite sure I'll implement it in some way
