In my eyes (and this is just my opinion, not that of the rest of the admin staff) it's an empty server, and empty servers don't need admins. There's no work to be shared. There's no 'the admins on this server suck, they never respond to issues' because there are no issues. There's nothing an admin can add to make that server not empty (if it was a server with a rotation, sure, they can change maps). If the server was populated, sure, I would personally think maybe regular should be bumped to admin. It just has to get populated for more than 3 hours a day though.

The point I raised in the 'Shut down the servers' thread stands. This is not Valvemaps #1 where a rotation change can breathe new life into it, and not Insta where another admin might help matters. NoMod needs to change to a different game type to become populated (MGE, a CTF rotation, whatever).

I think you're taking too much of a literal approach to what an admin is.

Yea, what you said covers the textbook definition of what an admin's role is, but admins can also be leaders and builders of communities, and that's really what the NoMod server is missing right now: community. The idea that the numbers aren't there and the game type needs to be changed is absolute trash. Your rivals have zero problems filling up servers dedicated to 2fort. The difference is that they make an effort in building up their communities and you guys do not.

That's really what BBQ offers you. Yea, you guys don't need another guy to police your server, but you do need someone to get people in that server. BBQ can do that. Among our group, he's always the one scheduling events and getting lots of people to show up to big games. If this thread isn't evidence enough, BBQ is widely respected, and a lot of people would like to see him succeed in whatever he does. I would imagine that if BBQ were given a vested interest in the server, if you will, a lot of people would work to see that he succeeds, and thus ultimately the server.

But whatever. Truth be told, I really don't care what you guys do. It's not that big of a deal to me and I have no emotional attachment to the server whatsoever. I do have to say, though, that I think it's hilarious that this idea isn't even being entertained... It's an idea that has minimal (if any?) risks and the potential for great rewards.

But hey, that's just my opinion and who am I to speak? You guys clearly know what you're doing here:
