Summary
This is a fully threaded version of Brainstorm's popular Server Redirect.

I had to fix it because if your database goes down or becomes unreachable, ALL YOUR SERVERS WILL FREEZE which is absolutely horrible and unusable in my opinion.
I was going to post it in the same thread, but I feel like I changed too much of it to be fully compatible.
How to install
Follow brainstorm's instructions except:
- The default database used is default instead of serverredirect
- Put your configurations in server.cfg instead of plugin.serverredirect.cfg (makes it possible to run multiple servers on 1 directory)
- Or put "exec sourcemod/plugin.serverredirect" in server.cfg if you don't do the step above.
Changelog
- Removed the unneeded include line.
- Prevent players from submitting multiple requests before the first one finishes.
- Fixed the database connection leak due to sourcemod bug.
- Added a 5 second cache for player requests.
- Fixed updates by putting quotes on the map name.
Differences
- Fully Threaded.
- Removed the ugly chat hook and turned it into a standard RegConsoleCmd.
- Ripped out the translations because I am a 0-config kind of person and I was annoyed when I forgot to upload the translation file and I refused to change the map just to get it to reload.
- Ripped out the natives because no one uses them anyway, and it would've taken me several more hours to thread those.
- Bots count as taking up a slot.
- Changed default database to "default"
- Removed usage of config file at "plugin.serverredirect". It conflicts with running multiple servers with 1 directory.
TODO
- Cancel the threaded query if a player logs off before it finishes. (I don't know how to do this)
