This website was down yesterday as well... when that happens usually the masterserver goes down with it. I think it's because the forums and masterserver are hosted by the same provider or something like that.

Yes, the server hosting all the AC services died for a couple of hours. To restore public gameplay as quickly as possible I moved the Master Server to another server. In order to do this, the service has to restart, and when that happens all the gameservers get lost. The MS has to wait for them to re-register before they show in the list again, and sometimes servers don't re-register on their own. I had to restart one of mine last night to get it back on the list.
On top of this, migrating services is never a smooth ride and I've had to reboot the server or restart the MS again a couple of times. Each time this happens, the list starts from scratch again, so it's possible you've been unlucky when getting a server list.
