I don’t think I’ve ever posted here before but … since I’ve met a lot of nice people on the server and had fun over the past 3 or 4 years, I hate to see the server die. I laughed when I saw D A McCoy’s post as it was funny and so true. I haven’t played there in a month but if the server improves, maybe the old regulars will come back or new people will join.
All it takes are a few people who act badly on a server to kill it so first of all, it needs some good admins. Without a doubt, Enforcer should be an admin assuming he would be willing. Womb Raider,I don’t know why you show such resistance to having Enforcer or any new admins but Sourceop needs more admins. Enforcer is well liked and just as important – he is respected. I don’t know who really has ultimate authority on the running of the server right now but perhaps someone should observe what the current admins are doing; such as Fusion and his buddy running around with melee weapons which can cause others to disconnect. Sorry Fusion, I’ve never had a problem with you and you seem to be popular with the regulars but that’s not right for an admin to do that.
I paid one time for a reserved slot so feel lucky to have had one and only had to pay one time. However, other servers do require small monthly fees for a reserved slot with other features such as end of round invulnerability, colored text, in-game hats, end of round voting for next maps, etc. As it is now, it’s meaningless since there’s only a 2-3 hour window when the server is full and everyone has a reserved slot. Consider doing as other servers (which are always full) do.
As far as new maps, ask for map suggestions and consolidate the list. Then allow people to rank the current maps and the proposed new maps. Try out the top 15-20 maps in the rotation and adjust as needed based on popularity. In the future, try out new maps periodically and add to the rotation if people like it.
As I mentioned earlier, there’s a lot of nice people on the server and I’ve never personally had a problem with anyone. For the current admins, I’m not trying to bash you in this post but just trying to state the facts as I see it. I understand it’s difficult to be an admin because no matter what you do, someone will always be unhappy about it. I’m thankful for anyone who’s willing to be an admin and police the server
Did I also mention to vote for Enforcer for president .... err admin I mean
