BKU Community Server

Don't be sorry bigbadboo i believe your intentions where just to point out we have a large ass server because of large demand of players yes we would like to see all 4 servers full but people who are regulars at TTT#1 Don't often change there habits.

You should force them to change their habits. Change the haste mode back to regular, make the 18 man a haste mode, and make it to where you have two 24 man servers. See if that works. It's only a theory, but with the right advertising you can pull that off, and might potentially have two full servers during week days. Try running that by the other admins. I'm thinking variations of it could work.

A vanilla server would be 15 man, (you people forget that originally the zombie master would pick the traitors.)
And then just base TTT, nothing more nothing less. (16 man allows that one more person though)

However as far as I know, the people that would appreciate this the most (the forum users) would use it for a few weeks and then tire of it.

There was talk of BKU hosting a server to publicly test builds. Or something along those lines.

In short, good idea in theory. Doesn't work in practice.

Before detective though, that has to be added in now.

I would like a public server with a seperate SVN, to give BKU a place to test new weapons and whatnot. Rather then gathering playtesters, he can just test it in his very own server! It would never die, due to people wanting to get new stuff before everyone else.

The problem with public testing is that not everyone who joins the server is aware that this might be a server with possible unstable builds. I'm pretty sure he's not in the mood for stupid comments when something does break down, and testing doesn't quite work if people want to play a decent game (OMFG WHY DID MAP CHANGE).
I suppose uploading the latest stable SVN build onto the server would iron out a couple of issues that went unnoticed, but usually server admins will be more then happy to make BKU aware of any issues that might arise.

I am sure, BKU already has his own private test server. If he doesn't, more than welcome to have one.
