We only have to donate a single time to get a reserve slot, so there needs to be a constant influx of new players cause since many people will only donate once. I doubt the donations even cover the costs of hosting all this stuff, so maybe more servers would make it even worse.
once the server gets I think 16 reserved slot players in it, it will stop accepting them. So no, its impossible.

Think about this. If some one is new to sourceop servers gets kicked as much as i did, what kind of impression would that give? They would never want to join the server again. The reason i bothered rejoining the servers after being kicked so many times within minutes of being in the server was because 4 of my friends were playing on the same server. Reserve slot has a negative impact on servers imo. There are situations where reserve slots can be just stupid, for example, capturing the last point when all of a sudden you get kicked. This is just plain stupid. Reserve slots should be reworked to where it detects other than k:d:a:r to kick people.

i was the only medic but that didnt make a difference because i was kicked as soon as i joined.

You can talk all you want about it supposedly having a negative impact, but last time I checked, according to hlstats, SourceOP servers are the most consistently full servers.
Edit- I forgot these servers are run with the gameme plugin, I couldn't find the thing on the site that tracks servers by average activity or I would've posted it already.

I honestly can't remember where I saw it at, maybe DF posted it awhile ago, I just remember it.
Yes I know I'm about to get picked apart.

Game-monitor rank is determined by average number of players on calculated over the last month. Number of players can be faked and stuff (you'll see some servers with 36players :?) and other servers use bots disguised as real players but it gives a rough idea.

Ah I always thought Instant Respawn was number one. And we need to bring up Valve 2 :?
Also, fake player counts are annoying. I remember this one popular server I used to really like, but it used to have a fake player count set at 25.
Thankfully the owner was awesome and finally changed it

You contribute $0 to the servers (they aren't free you know) and you come here simply to bitch about not being able to play with your friends.
Maybe the reserved slots are designed to keep people like you AWAY from the Source servers.
I'll let you wrap your head around that one for a while.
As for Instant Spawn not being #1...WTF????!!!!!

Instant respawn is #1 in all of our hearts, so that's all that matters.
