Shooting down an obviously popular map that you haven’t played based on comments from people that vary as widely as these is not really the best course of action.
Researching the issue and looking for a possible fix would be more beneficial in the long run and would give us another avenue to expand our rotation out and make the server even more popular than it is now.
Considering the map was added and played without the CL’s knowledge or appoval I would say I’ve been more than open about the whole deal. I don’t want maps on the server that cause problems with our players. It shouldn’t matter if they are considered big or small, they are still problems that shouldn’t be in the final release of a map.
How is preventing future complaints in any way a problem?
This is just a precedent I don’t want to set. Find the solution and you can keep the map.

As it stands we could really do with adding a second CSS server and putting a redirector in place like TF2 has.
Based on my MSN chat with you a few weeks ago I was under the impression we didn’t have enough server capacity for a 2nd server. I will not split a 28 slot into two 16 or 18 slots, not when the 28 comes close to capacity on a regular basis and I don’t want to falsely advertise the server as being full or send people where they don’t want to go.
Now if I can have a 2nd 18-24 slot server let me know and I’ll be more than happy to get you a config.
