To answer Gilmore, I’ve been online for like the last week, mostly playing TF2, but I joined the 1.6 server when I saw some people playing to hopefully encourage more people to join, and just cuz there weren’t any admins in there.
I’d like to help get the 1.6 server populated again, since I just quit my job and my workload for this semester’s not very demanding. However, it’s still hard to say how often I can be on 1.6. There will be a few days out of the week when I can’t (I can be on messengers or IRC, though).
Also, I don’t know about HOTEL Cali, but I see quite a few players on MOTEL California 1.6 FF. Also, like lockem said, there are a lot of people playing on the PGN servers (I think mostly the Illinois server) and gamerstrust. There are so many noobs on PGN that I actually feel relief when one of our regulars joins.
