SpawnPoint - Where Game Begins

So another milestone comes and goes in my Spawnpoint life.

A lot has happened recently that made me stop and think about my time in spawnpoint and where I'd like to see the community progress.

The new 100 tick servers have good and bad points. The good points is that my ping has reduced on a few of them and that my hit registry is better on most of them (Although the new UK Fragfest is an enigma my registry sucks on there big time). Bad points are we lost some traffic on the US servers which we need to get back somehow.

Perhaps it's me but....we upgrade the UK servers, change the IP's and servers get busy. we do the same in the US and.....nothing.....server traffic crashes. What is it with The Americas? We get great updated 100 tick servers and no one wants to "migrate it's all really strange???

Also what's it with "ex" community members who deem it necessary to play on our servers and be disrespectful towards our rules, community members, management and owners. I assume the juvenile delinquents involved were aiming for the badge of "global bannedness" so they could run back to the rest of their clan members and brag about it. Pointless behaviour that's just going to cause "friction" between some of their own clan members methinks.

What are we looking for as a community. I know that only some of our community traffic comes from the servers and that's why, sometimes, it looks as though the powers that be appear "non-caring" about server problems. I sometimes wonder about this as well.....Perhaps if we thought more about the servers we'd get more server traffic and this more forum traffic....I don't know, perhaps we are hosting the wrong server type? Are we hosting the wrong games?? Is it just the maps??? Is it the fact we need to diversify mods???? Can someone explain why, despite having the most up-to date servers people who used to play on them now don't???? I can't fathom it out and I'm at a loss as to what we as a community need to do to bring us back to where we were 12 months ago with server traffic :(

I dunno, perhaps I'm just feeling a little "vexed" about the whole gaming scene at the moment. Spawnpoint bends over backwards to help out on the gaming server front, yet, we appear to lose server traffic...?

I can't seem to get as "up-beat" about playing games now as I used to....I find myself server hopping trying to find somewhere "exciting and fun" to play and struggling to meet my expectations.....

Perhaps i'll download and try some of the new "steam games" that appeared on my steam games list over the weekend and see if they're any fun.....otherwise i feel as though, with current entertainment values, my gaming days might be nearing an end.....
