For those that don't know, there is an admin-only zombie skin on Zombie Escape that is some giant pillow thing. This skin broken in that it lies completely flat on the ground when you crouch, and it has a massive head hitbox compared to the normal zombie skins. However, the worst part is that admins are randomly forced into this skin, even when they use !zclass to specifically swap off of it. Regardless of the fact that the skin is broken, admins being forced into a giant, white target is INCREDIBLY annoying. If this skin could be removed entirely, I would be incredibly grateful, and I don't believe many admins would mourn the loss of being made into a giant, fucking target. If an admin zombie skin is required, please at least choose a model that doesn't contrast as much in comparison to other zombie models so that we aren't immediately targeted.
 
Picture of the skin for those that don't know what it looks like, here is it standing up and crouching:

In case anyone doesn't read the CS:GO patch notes, they added one of the best things yet to CS:GO: voice_player_volume. If you don't know what this is, here is the patch note on it: 
Yup, that means you can now lower the volume of people playing music so you can hear the game while listening to great tunes at the same time! You know how you didn't use to be able to mute someone only over voice chat, even if you still wanted to read their text chat? Now you can! Is Lv. 100 Crobat using his old, incredibly loud mic again? No problem, you can lower his sound! Just thought I should mention this useful command here for those who weren't aware of it since it is a great alternative to blocking communication.

Can the War3 server get the sm_createmenu plugin (created by AntiTeal for the Zombie Escape Server) added to it? The plugin allows each person to create their own Source Mod radio menus (see the picture if you don't understand what I mean). This command can be incredibly helpful if you have a lot of binds and cannot remember which key goes to which bind or if you dislike the provided menus that the server offers. The command is used in the style of "sm_createmenu Title | Command 1 | Menu Option 1 | Command 2 | Menu Option 2| etc." If you hit the max length of commands in a menu, just make the menu into an alias and make a new menu that has all of the aliases in it (also menu options each have a max length of characters). Any server commands can be put into the menu (not option changes like voice_enable though) and when you click the option, it will execute the command as if you put it into the console (so you don't have to worry about people using commands they shouldn't have access to). Here is an example of a simple menu I created that could be used for war3 (radio menu shown in picture):
"sm_createmenu War3 Menu | say changerace rotd | Race of the Day | say CHEATER | Whine | say changerace random | Random | say buy tome | Buy Tome"  Picture of the menu and console with the command in it
 
If you have any questions about it, either ask me and I'll answer if I know the answer (or ask Teal since he made the plugin) or jump on the zombie escape server and try it out since it is already on there.

Most posts are people saying "why are servers are dead, pop servers". The posts with one sentence wont do anything, however posts with proper suggestions doesn't hurt even if it gets annoying "UGH ANOTHER POP THREAD, LIFE IS HARD. I AM NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR THE SERVERS BUT IT'S FUN TO BASH ON PEOPLE ACTUALLY TRYING". I am not saying you or anyone is doing this in that big of a scale, just trying to prove a point. If we knew how to help the servers we would have done it already, people that care about the servers are trying their best, stop bashing on the people trying and take that time to actually help out yourself. This isn't pointed at anyone, just in general to the people doing this.

From my PoV, and I typed it in shoutbox aswell, most of the csgo community servers suffered a big loss of population, mostly non traditional cs servers. I truly believe PUBG killed most of the servers, not only sG, other communities suffered aswell, GFL, SG, and asian servers, i know because sometimes i hop on there. The last time i don't remember if it was the last year or 2015. A game killed our playerbase, then the game got boring and everyone returned.
 
Currently the servers generating money in sG are Gmod servers and WC3.
 
So, if you want to populate any server, my suggestion is be very dedicated with it, i can tell it from experience, a group of dedicated people who really wants a server back, should try and pop it daily from time to time, the server will increase it's playerbase and become popular once again.
 
Try to reduce the download times as much as you can. I've been on an asian server and it's download times are ridiculously long, because mostly of weebskins.
 
As I mentioned, servers didn't popped on summer because of PUBG, clearly, the game has gained a lot of popularity.
 
Post your insights here for suggestions that can be made in the future.

So I've come up with an idea good in theory but needing tweeking  and support.  The idea is to create an official community YouTube channel that everyone can contribute to. Videos the channel would feature can include raw gameplay on the servers and other games members play like for instance pubg matches, highlight videos similar to the old jb videos some people used to make , basic guides to the servers like a jb or Warcraft how to for people that prefer learning visually, jb map secret videos(community member walks the viewer through some of a maps secrets and gives tips) ,sG  tournament recordings, maybe a news update occasionally.
 
Since itd be a community shared channel we'd set up a system anyone can share content with a moderator or moderators who in turn will decide if the video is ok to share and them give them credit when it's uploaded. I know we have sG members with their own channels like @Wave who can give advice and maybe share content with us and vice versa. We can start it off just by collecting all the old videos of the servers in one place.  What do you guys think? Would anyone  be willing to help talk on the responsibility or make content for the channel ? It would be open to any sort of vaguely sG  related content be it server footage or members playing something.

Thanks for the donation, and thanks for trying to follow the reporting rules! It shows that you care!

I made a simple radar for westwood_v2 on war3.
 
I might make more as its requested.

Hope I got the spawns correct, might of fucked that up, to tired to check (It only shows up briefly on the loading screen).

Not sure if the bombsites are "labeled" correctly either.. I just kind of picked the pub as B and the outside as A. There are no markers telling me otherwise.

GOTV #2: connect 216.105.171.123:27217

From what I can gather, you're trying to get L2 some form of admin with a needless over complication of jargon.
 
As our community would have it, if someone has proven themselves to be mature enough to be a server officer, they may apply as a member and receive such benefits should our esteemed staff members allow it. Far less complicated than.. this.
 
I don't mean to shit on your idea so readily, but I feel as though it's more over a problem of a lack of players as opposed to admins.
