I don't seem to recall THAT many VIP maps back then.

Having said that, I do feel that they were a good change of pace from de and cs maps.

I don't think a dedicated server would be viable unless you were absolutely certain that enough players in your current player base here in IBIS would play it. You can get an easy gauge on that by introducing them into the rotation in the pub. If I know they are there, I'll definitely make sure they are played occasionally one way or another.
