It is sad because i remember a time when the servers used to be full 24/7. It was so convienant to know that nearly anytime you'd go on you could have a great game with some awesome folks. I'm not sure what caused this other than the lack of updates and changes. Others (especially Dopp) have shown their frustration towards this decline. For the longevity of this servers lifespan we need to keep things fresh, new, and fun.
I remember a time when DF would do this, i remember when we didn't have a voting system, among other things. We need that, when someone has a complaint, an idea, it needs to be heard! I strongly vote for a new admin that will gain access to the server files. I have been told a lot of admins do not have the knowledge needed for server side stuff. I did hear that Fusion has some knowledge and i wouldn't mind one bit for fusion to take over so we can keep this server alive.
If needed we can also drop some other servers as they don't even get populated ever. SourceOP valve maps #1 needs to be our main focus here.
I also agree with adding some new maps, i know it's always went against the original idea of the server but it's been so many years now i don't think it would hurt to add them in. Keep all the original maps and add in a ton of customs as well. Also add a better voting system, where you can choose any of the next 5 maps and hit a button (F1 through F5) to vote for it. The first to a certain number of votes becomes the new map!
As far as someone seriously going out of their way to keep this server alive, Enforcer has done a hell of a job, I would vote for him as well to be the main community admin for the server, he has more hours than anyone else on the server and he has always been polite and would be willing to help anyway he can im sure.
Also concerning the reserved slots, seriously, just do away with them, nearly every regular has one and even mild regulars have them from one donation years ago. There's almost no point to having them anymore. I say take them away until a monthly pay system is established.
