Ever though I'm relatively new to the server, i hope my opinion means something. I think the server is dying more or less, because when i check people are on a lot less often. I personally blame the map rotation, whenever i come down to play TF2 every once in a while I always start really liking it again...then a crappy map comes up...Anyway i think something needs to be done in order for the server to regain some people.
1) Move the vote buttons from 1 and 2 to F1 and F2, hopefully this should be easy and most everyone should agree.
2) I think if people don't vote, they shouldn't be counted in the vote, this should also be easy (I think), and I think it would help a little in keeping crappy maps out, while not really being a major change
3) RTV... but only if half the server votes for it, and only regulars can vote (people with 5 or more days/have a reserved slot) and this system could easily be refined its just an idea.
4)Maybe a nomination system like one of the Reddit servers, i don't play there often (but i would because of the nocrit...) because of the pings, but a nomination system combined with a rotation would be a good idea. Ex. There is a certain rotation, could even be the same one we have but with 3 possible nextmaps, and then people can nominate 3 other maps to be voted for. (this could also be a way to add custom maps without forcing them on anyone)
Once again, these are all just brainstorms that should be thought out some more before implemented. Though i think these ideas are better than just giving a few people certain admin privileges.
Though sadly the problem doesn't seem to be a lack of ideas, seems more like DF just isn't responding to any suggestions to save the server...
Also i agree the shit out of you Womb, Engineers are the scum of the earth that ruin maps that would otherwise be enjoyable. (KOTH badlands, KOTH Viaduct, KOTH Sawmill, KOTH Nucleus, KOTH Harvest, as well as others that dont ruin it quite as much, but still make playing the game unenjoyable...)
And one last thing, where is nightfall? I've played it like once on another server and i thought it was a custom map lol.
