Snapshot server not reachable
It appears to be hanging; it says it's up and the same 4 people are always on, but attempts to log in always time out.

Yeah, it's happening again..i noticed this before several months ago, and everytime i've noticed it the server has said a person named leigemeister was on. the first two times someone named RJS1997 was on.

Again the server doesn't crash completely. You can still query it and thus the server isn't automatically reset.
I've updated the Snapshot server to 1.7.4. That should hopefully resolve the server crashes.

is there any way around this problem without someone resetting it? no matter what i do when this happens every attempt to log in just ends with a time out error, and no matter what time of day it is it always says the same people are online.

No there's not. To the operating system, a Minecraft server is just another Java process. If the process is unexpectedly terminated, it can be automatically started again. Sometimes the server crashes but the Java process remains, the OS then thinks the server is still running. To work around this I made a nifty startup script that polls the server, if it doesn't get a response it will automatically reset the server.
In this case the server more or less hangs, but you can still poll it. Nothing to do but manually reset it then.
Right now the Snapshot server seems to be up. It was probably a bug in the snapshot. The snapshots are more or less dev builds of Minecraft and bugs are to be expected. Right now it's running the release version 1.7.4 so I think it'll be ok for now. At least until we encounter another buggy snapshot. In which case you'll just have to report the problem again. That is how Mojang can fix their bugs: by people reporting problems such as this
Unfortunately most people on any of our servers are lazy bums. If it's something's not working they'll bitch and moan, and then leave. If people don't report any issues they encounter, we can't do anything about them. We're not psychic. People actually have to tell us they you want us to know about it. I know, it's crazy right?
