So I made a suggestion a while back about changing up the trade server map.
Bringing it up again.
-----------------------
Updated. Fixing house of fun in its entirety will take a long time, as there are some pretty big issues with it.
I went ahead and checked out these maps, and they're suitable replacements.

This map is bigger than the current map, and also a bit sci-fi. 16mb. (This is my personal favorite).

This is a very small map, 2.2mb.
This picture is the pretty much the entire map, sans the red / blue bases.
I imagine it would be very hectic with 32 players.

This is a fairly large map playerwise, 10.8mb.
Has features like a soccer court, volleyball area, a boxing ring for heavies.

9.59mb. Styled like Tron, this map has low ceilings and narrow corridors, so it'll be hectic with 32 players.

The minecraft one is tolerable.
The portal one is crap, aesthetic and gameplay-wise. It's awful.
 
nether, yes that is a problem there is still demomen and medics, though. Spawn, same could be said for ever map. And just get a spy.
Have you been there? They dispenser trap you for a reason. Just saying, as these traps can't easily be beat by an uber becase the Medic goes in after the Demo/Heavy, and the heal target gets killed before the medic is there.

Get 2+ engies down there with Wranglers, and it's impossible to beat them.

I agree, but if I learned anything from hosting servers for several years, it is that your personal opinion rarely counts for anything. The map has made the server more popular than any of our other trade servers.

This is what I said before. It matters about the population of the map.
 
Speaking of Minecraft, playing said game has gotten Cylosis away from map making, but I don't blame him. He has a nice map layout going though.
