as I see it the basic problem we have is that none of us seem to be online at the same time enough to get even 2 people onto the server... If we could at least achievement mill each other there'd be something to do but one person sitting in a server feels lonely. Also as I said before, and I believe that this is not just my opinion, even if 2 to 4 of us got into the server if we had no hope of anyone else ever joining because they can't see the server then what's the point?
On a side note it has occurred to me to ask if we couldn't add the TF2 server ip to the list of little things that pop up in green on retro. I'd think that some of the people who reg on our other servers but don't spend time on our forums might be interested in playing tf2 with us. We could do the same thing and advert for retro on the tf2 server (which needs a name btw)
there's some more of my thoughts, now I'm going to go and try and get rid of my headache
