I noticed that the metalforge server is back online (yay!) but at least for
me it does not show up in the list of servers in the metaserver list.  If I
type metalforge.crossfire.net, I get to it though.  If it matters I'm
running crossfire GTK client V2 on Linux.

Are your still encountering this issue?

Sometimes it can take several minutes to report or show up on the 
metaserver list after a crash event.

Yes, it is still happening.  I see a few sites like meflin or crowcastle,
but not metalforge.

It sounds like your client is not reaching out or is able to connect to 
the EU and US metaserver lists.

http://metaserver.eu.cross-fire.org/meta_html.php
https://metaserver.us.cross-fire.org/meta_html.php

How old or what version number is your client?

It's pretty old.  It's running on a Debian 8 virtual machine.  It doesn't
give a version number in "help > about" - just that it's the GTK Client V2.

Compared to the current servers listed in the hyperlinks you provided, I
can see all the 4 listed as v1.75, but not metalforge.

Metalforge is not reporting (or showing) on the primary metaserver at 
https://crossfire.real-time.com/metaserver2/meta_html.php due to hosting 
policy at the current data center.

If you want the convenience of Metalforge showing up in your metaserver 
list, you will need to update your client or modify the code for 
available metaservers to use the EU and/or US metaserver mirrors and 
recompile the client. Or, manually enter the host name of 
crossfire.metalforge.net to connect.
