Update: Dust is all grown up !

-Bumped Thread
We got a proper FULL SERVER 20 VS 20 (No drives, no events, just a lot of people on) and it was hectic and beautiful and if Shadow19 was there, he would have made a speech.
It was a happy moment, special mentions for Medviah, Judge, Kilroy, Meow and Border Control for joining and putting the server over the mark.
I believe if there was ever a reason to necro a thread, this would be it. Still, if you guys wana pledge time to the server (which was why this thread was made) feel free to do so.
Also, if you're an Admin, Power and I have set up a Dust challenge for you guys. Just head on over here.
7 Reasons to become a Dust regular
Okay, I'll put up my hand. I used to hate dust. Not because it wasn't a bad map, not because it's CT sided, but because it replaced my much loved Nightfever server. But guys, after you get through that bitterness and after you stop caring about dropping 2K points in 3 days and dropping right out of the top 100, faster than Ts drop guns for ST (A jail reference for you jail lovers). Then you'll actually take Dust for what it is. And in all honesty, it's a very solid and fun map.
So lets get down to it, my 7 reasons to become a Dust regular
1) It's our baby server. The newest server just keeps growing. I know that it has exceeded my expectations. This must have a strong pull to all those members who are nuturing in heart.
2) Stops you playing for rank. High school regulars (myself included, but not so much now) have a tendency to become obsessed with points. We rejoin the server for more attractive scores, play spots because we're afraid to lose 25 points to some rushing noob and just whine because we're pissed(It's funny because I'm describing someone). After you lose 20 odd points to everyone, you just don't mind.
3) Causes you to be creative in strat calling. There are 4 places that you can go through to get anywhere. Underpass, Long A, double door A and Right tunnels. Delay rushing comes into play, the smokes and trying to look 3 ways at the same time. Being a T isn't so easy and you gotta be smart if you're playing against 10+ CTs.
4) The pubs are pretty awesome. We all have our tastes. They're just bad enough for me to have an attractive score but pose enough skill to be a good sport. Also, they've got a pretty wicked sense of humour. Be careful for the raw ones that are still a bit vulgar and make hackusations.
5) You get asked if you own eGO. I was just having casual conversation with a pub that I was trying to recruit, and he asked me if I owned the clan and the server. I just laughed it off, and was quite flattered, really.
6) You get to see Cows holding paras crouched in cars. Yes, that tricky cow guy (who's also a regular) got the better of me in one of our Dust map duels when he decided to hide inside a car. They won the round.
7) The litter around the map. Nothing is more fun than shooting milk bottles and empty cans at your opponents and if you take the time to admire the scenery, you'll notice all the trash lying around.
Today, our Dust server reached over 30 people. It was pretty exciting to see, considering how far it has come. But really, just give it a go. It'll surprise you.
If you read this and think you'll get on more, then don't just make a comment about it, please make a pledge in this thread to get on the dust server. You can add a time too, such as to do an hour a week, 30 minutes a day, however long you think you can afford to spend in Dust. I really want to take a Screenshot of a 20 VS 20 round

so thx for the info. 
That's the reason I cant' play our dust2 and hs server- there are just too many people there IMO. oh well, the max is 20 so it won't be that bad.
