Perhaps, when nobody is playing on the server or there's not a "community event" like a compstomp going down, the password could be removed. With the password on an empty server, it's very hard to just hop on and play in the middle of the day. When there was no password the server would be at least half full with random people, allowing for a drop-in game.

No. With only so many slots, it would be much better to have them full of LM members instead of your average ex-CS UT2k4 demo player.

Who ever said they were Ex-CSers? There are a lot of gamers out there who are partial to Unreal Tournament, Quake, and Doom style games, and those games have been around longer.

Umm, yeah, except, the problem is that there are not ENOUGH players. Probably because there's a password on the server.

If the server fills up and regulars want in then by all means put the password back on. But when the server is empty there's no reason to lock out non-regs, since then when the regs want to play there's nobody to play with.

i think it should be taken off , i barely ever see more than 10 regs in most of the time. and the serv has a limit of 24 i think ?

and if it ever gets too crowded then some regs should get admin who play alot to kick people XD
