Pub used to be the place to go to talk shit and was great for a noob free, vanilla server but that was back when dondo used to play. Add custom maps but leave them out of the rotation and set nuke as the default. Pub had a tight knit group of regs and that environment will be impossible to recreate because the group that played pub played CS:S for pub only. It eventually lost its charm and people moved on to other games. The best it is going to get nowadays are the random zmers taking a break from zm, gg, or wcs so that should be embraced.

i will cling on to the sanctity that is pub! A place for people to express there skills and enjoy organized gameplay! not some hldj brothel for baddies to subjugate the current pub regs to ZM antics. At the end of the day though... rico will eventually show up and have the time of his ibis life if this tomfoolery i saw the other day is happening again.
secodly, i dont think pub is dead... tbh, i think people use the "pub is dead" line to bolster themselves. Just because the server isnt packed at wee hours in the late evening and morning, does not mean the server is not home to plenty of regulars. If there is one thing i know for certain, its that forums are dead and people dont join them. They simply play in a server with other people who have made a home there. we should not be accommodating to a group of players who are barley making it past week long bans due to their ban record, we should be accommodating to those who play pub regularly.
If all else fails, scrap pub. In all honesty most of the skilled players moved to CS:GO for the alt pubs and competitive rankings. The resources used to run pub could be used for another game server, ones thats booming and growing or even a more fast paced layed back GG.
at this point, zero should be looking at the livley hood of this community. CSS is dying so naturally, ibis is dying.

Personal reform
People are joining the pub again?! I will have to join in.
4) Use admin privileges sparingly and appropriately.
You forget, the ZM regs that join pub in turn make some wire skilled players pop in. I have seen them join quite a few times when the server is populated and populating it themselves. Its all a chain reaction and works for days at a time. Keep nice and fun, a bit of humor, good to go. This whole "ZM idiots" in pub shit is rediculous. Most of them are GG regs as well anyway. The ones that create the same environment are over it fast anyway. Get over yourselves.
Make all your last demands for I will forsake you and I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last.
maynard <ibis>: they are awkward and last 2 damn long. I prefer thinner smaller ones
I played last night. Only 4 of us. Went juandeaging for a bit, made some kids rage. You know, the usual.
