[QUOTE=Koopa90;34597104]I know, i was just joking :v: I hope you find a useful answer from someone and get your server running and populated :smile:[/QUOTE] Thanks :D [QUOTE=LaughingStock;34597121]Custom maps are cool, for instance, DM_Mariokart is a staple, along with breakfloor, melee checkers, etc etc. Don't forget cool server mods too, like saxton hale, randomizer, and loads ands loads of DM maps.[/QUOTE] Custom maps are cool, agreed on the DM_Mariokart, Ive gone into my server list a few times to play certian maps (ctf_convoy) that I <3 and nobody is playing on them though. Which sucks so I might put a couple of the good customs on. As for saxton hale and randomizer bleh, they arn't really what I'm looking for, I think KOTH maps will do fine for DM maps as well.

[QUOTE=Suttles;34597398]He was being sarcastic.[/QUOTE] I figured as much but why not entertain his suggestion?
Just putting it out there that you're a new server will help you, one thing I never liked was that servers that have been up forever have certain circles of people that all know each other by name and it's awkward to run into them as a new player.
[QUOTE=lkymky;34597460]I figured as much but why not entertain his suggestion?[/QUOTE] Alright, everything I said except for adding melee checkers and arena breakfloor was false. Those two maps are awesome. Arena gridwalls is nice too.
I forgot what it was called, but it'd be a good idea to disable Valve's new voice thingamajigger to allow Micspam. From Ear-rape to Music playing, Micspam can make a fun server hilarious. And in Contrast, if a man is playing intense Ear-rape/Horrible music, add a "Votemute" function; never an auto-muter. Auto-muters are what make people leave servers and never come back.

But instead, they'd rather complain and whine to create a bigger commotion than if they guy was just spamming alone, and get the guy muted/kicked/banned, with no regard to whether other people like what the "micspammer" was playing or not.
Bro just put "pony" somewhere in the server's title. Instant 24/24 all day erry day.
[QUOTE=JustGman;34596449]add rtv too because sometimes a map is just overplayed.[/QUOTE] And if at all possible, don't do it through a plugin that requires you to hit numbers, because they block weapon quickswitching. My fav server used to have choices for hitting 1-5 and everyone hit 1 to get it out of the way so they could quickswitch properly again. As they noticed that, they changed the numbers to 4-8 so that the first three numbers for quickswitching would be available - but the thing won't stop blocking your number input until you give it a valid input and so everyone is now spamming 4 instead of 1. Valve has this neat F1-F4 stuff that doesn't conflict with anything else, I'd love to see this style adopted by more servers.
