Server list no longer updating #10

The server list has not been updated for several days now, for me it shows: Updated: 11:06:55 | 81 players in 153 shown servers (647 total)

This is not technically an issue with the code; it's just that I stopped it from running periodically. This is what I posted in the Factorio forums earlier:

Only a few people seemed to be using it. After the Factorio people changed the API, I didn't bother updating the code.

They changed it in a way that you can only see details by querying for each server individually, which would be a lot of traffic for the Factorio server. That's a secondary reason to not bother changing it: it might get my account banned.

And in the end I stopped the cronjob from updating altogether, since it didn't add anything useful anymore (since they broke every feature that wasn't in the in-game server browser already).

If you want to bring it back up, you can always do a pull request!

And if a Factorio admin happens to read this: a permit for doing a certain number of requests per minute (to query for each server) would be nice.
