What happened to Skial US badlands?

[|Au| SirHC]

I'm pretty sure i had around 300+ hours on the server, give or take. Almost every day it was full and populated, mostly at night time. I would join and play every day and then one day i noticed that there were 2 out of 24 people on the server. I thought this was really strange because even at the most obscure times like early in the morning or late at night the server had at least 10-15 people on it. So i thought nothing of it and the next day the same thing happened, i started to ask my friends who frequent the server what had happened to it. None of them could give me an answer. Now, the server had been in my favorites list for a while now so i could tell if it was full and how many people are in it, but now it says that it is Skial 2fort. Not entirely sure when it changed, but badlands seems to be gone from my favorites list, replaced with 2fort. Could anyone let me know what happened to the server? Or if it moved somewhere else? If im missing some announcement on the forums, please let me know, i may just be overlooking something obvious. Thanks, and great servers guys!

The problem is that very few people seed.

Before we solved this problem by boosting slots which was frowned upon, but every else was doing it, and it helped the players start the server up. We removed that mod since Valve threatened to punish anyone that was still doing it.

Unfortunately people don't want to be the first person to join a 0/24 server, and when everyone thinks that way, it stays empty for the whole day. Gravelpit used to have this problem, but now it is ok. Badlands was always one of our most unpopular servers and no one said anything about it until now.

Well, that's disappointing. It didnt seem to unpopular when i played in it, maybe just luck of the draw though. Thanks for the quick feedback, have a good one!
