So, the 1Fort server expired — as is probably evident, I never really got it rolling. After a couple frustrating hours trying to install working admin mods I sort of gave up on it. Also, I forgot how much I hated administrating things. Within a couple hours of putting it up last month I was getting PM’d repeatedly from people requesting map changes and mods installed and maps added or removed and respawn times shortened and so on, which was just sort of tiring.
I might give it another try in a couple of months, but for now, I’ll just let other people run the servers while I simply play on them.

Yeah, it was a nice idea, but impractical. There’s not much of “1fort communty” really, is there? And that’s what makes a good server.
Maybe when a few more people start reading you could start it up again, so it wouldn’t be just another pub.
And you know what wouuld get people reading (hint, hint)?

Yeah, I finally got around to checking that server out for my first time this weekend. First time to start playing TF 2 actually.
It was totally empty for most of the time. It just wouldn’t be worth it for you to maintain a ghost town.

I was mainly looking forward to doing my part as an “stuntman” in your potential video project — keep us in the loop if you ever decide to pull the trigger on that one (maybe you can borrow a secure server as a “set” instead of maintaining your own)

If you ever start it up again, 1Fort readers need to go on more. It was sad to see the server of such an awesome place empty all the time.

I never saw it with people in it. Ever.
Next time, take the password off. That’ll get the ball rolling nicely.
As for tweaking, I would recommend you leave things at their default settings, as that is already balanced.
Shortening respawn times tends to make games drag on longer and result in stalemates more often. It’s annoying. Especailly with no respawn delay.
Also you don’t NEED an admin mod. Some are nice but the console commands are all you technically need. Remember that not having one is always an option, if you can’t find a good one.

You could do a Garry’s Mod server instead?

my prob with your server was simple -
it’s about 8 or more timezones away, resulting in awful ping and incompatible leisure time slots
