I think the better question is does anyone play at all?
I was playing earlier around 1-3PM EST on CSR and all of 6 people joined the whole time. So I left to play somewhere else...

well over the years of playing on CSR ive noticed it has become custom map server.
my efforts in making this a more popular place with using only cal maps had failed numerous times. But thats what people care about now.
its your choice i have no say in it. GL with server

I imagine I've been here a shorter time. When I first started playing here we just played standard maps and the occasional fun map. Then we added a few custom maps which couldn't be downloaded directly from the server. Which is the counter strike equivalent of the plague. Today we have rotations of popular maps and admin_votes for custom maps. Which you'd think would be the best balance of the two, eh? But no dice and we are empty and alone in prime csing time.

well
there are several ways. the thing i did with my server was i changed the name
im sure this will not happen.
so just play cal rotated maps. and make it cal-practice
its how zool and many others have become very good at the game.
but its just my thinking which is not very respected (which im perfectly fine with due to prior incidences)
but if you want people in the server.
make it cal or atleast draw people in with a fancy name "
CSR cal pratice server" or something and have cal maps
if not this
CSR CUSTOM MAPS Server
and any custom maps you want.
eitherway it will draw attention in

This will never be a cal server. Thankfully so and a full custom map server would be too extreme. I'd have much more fun with the ladder, but the former probably gets the people. I think having that unique blend is partly what makes CSR unique (sentence sounds so bad).
We actually did just have a name change recently.

Well the problem i see most of the time is the server gets full over a good custom/normal map, but then empties because of some BAD maps that should never be on a pub server.
Maps such as de_nuke, de_vertigo, cs_siege, de_storm empty the server.. i cant think of them all but there must be another 10 maps that ppl leave the server because of it.
Nuke is a REALLY good map but everyone leaves anyway, thats how it is :/...

I've played good games on all of those maps... I don't see why we're only drawing people who don't want to play them. But yes certain maps do seem to have that effect - as we saw with torn the other night

I hate oilrig with a passion. But for some reason its a map that doesn't empty out a server. But siege, even though it is one of my favorite maps, does empty out the server. I would guess because its so T sided. Dust, for all its been played out, is still a good map to get people on with, same with D2.
Porter, heres something for you (or someone who can write plugins). Create a plugin that counts the players connecting and leaving during each map, and outputs to text files.
Ex. Empty server, Dust comes on, 5 people join
scoutzknivez - 4 more join, but 2 leave
nuke - 8 join, 4 leave
Todays log
(time) Dust - 0 started, 5 joined, 0 left
(time) scoutzknivez - 5 started, 4 joined, 2 left
(time) nuke - 7 started, 8 join, 4 leave
This would really show which map is good at keeping, getting and losing people. Shouldn't be hard to write either. But I'm sure if you watch the trends, you can certainly find what maps are best to keep on the server.

Yeah, it's a great map. Only problem with that map is when you're a CT, it's like trying to herd cattle. People won't stick together and help the VIP. So eventually I just give up and do my own thing.

I cant stand oil rig! Its just far to slow and predictable. I have never played it when a server has been full so its always about 3 Vs 3. I haven•t had much time to play much cs lately!

Or in the mean time you could go to the HLstats section and look at map stats.
You could then compare the number of kills to SCHEDULED map time.
For example if dust is scheduled 5 times a day 6 days a week and has 1500 kills then simple maths gives you an idea of how many kills everytime dust is on and hence a rough idea of how many people played.
Obviously some maps were only played by a vote and so i don't know if you can use the information so easily.
Just looking at the info chateau, backalley and siege have only had about 50kills. If this were the case regularly then perhaps we should look at taking them out of the rotation.
I'm sure even without a plugin there is enough info for us to decide what maps are bringing people in and what ones aren't.
Its a really hard thing to understand because people have commented on Nuke emptying the server but I've played on other servers where its a big puller of players.
What we have to watch is that in changing things, to try and make the server more popular, we dont make it such that we don't want to play on it!! I like the way things are - but I do like Nubbs idea of monitoring players in and out - if it can be done.

Oilrig and siege are both good maps - but only if you have the right people in the server. Both require teamwork, particularly for CT. Of course this is exactly why a lot of people don't like them because they see them as somehow difficult. Or they're kill hunters...
PS Rob why are you never on msn or friends eh?

I'm not a big fan of siege and I have to say if it comes on I'd tend to leave - I don't quite know what it is about it that I don't like I just don't find it interesting 
Oilrig, however, can be a fantastic map with the right people on! Theres some really good touches to the layout that means you can have so much variety.
I'm not on msm much because I hate telling people that I can't be bothered to talk to them - it makes me feel bad, but sometimes I just cant be bothered - obviously I don't mean you but once I open msm then theres a good chance I'll have one or two (slightly) unwanted conversations to deal with
Friends is my prefered app as the list is much shorter so its less hassle but unfortunately mine rarely works

Set your status to Away - you can still talk to people but you have an excuse to ignore others. Easy.

Siege is horrible. It only offers 2 way to the rescue point, both of them being way too easy to guard.
Every other "good" map offers 3 ways to objectives. :/

i dont have time to do anything. and when i do have free time, my preference is towards playing new games. played fable this past week, rather low replay once you beat the game though.
i imagine on monday i will disappear again for a few weeks, as the game ive been looking forward to for the past 6 months is coming out (Mortal Kombat) with online play. total sweetness.

Fable is sweetness. I am playing 2 games in parallel and am about 6 hours into both. It is one of those games that captures the intangible coolness element that is so rare.
