I've noticed that the office server only populates at night and on weekends while the dust server is usually full. Can anyone explain this because I would like to play on the office server more regularly and can't. I find that in order to play office I have to turn to other servers and I don't really have an interest in that either. Maybe it would be possible to get better server info or have it updated so more people will join. Please comment or let me know if anyone else sees this as well.

Its just a matter of Dust2 being the most popular map in CSS, plain and simple. Not really any other way to put it.
My best advice would be to grab some friends and start the server. When people see their are 5-6 people they are more inclined to join. Hop in vent and grab some members to help filll it!~ Add me to steam and I would not mind helping you gather some people!

Astro hit the nail on the head.
We need to seed the servers because a pubber isn't going to join one that is empty. So many times I've joined Highschool and was the only person there. Give it a few minutes and people start joining. The more people you have, the quicker the server fills.
Jump into Vent and Spartacus people into filling Office. You'd be surprised at what a little enthusiasm does to motivate.

You would be amazed on how quick you can get the server filling with players. There's a thread on server starter/seeder group I just can't find where. Get a group of 4 people in there and it's cake from there. Also if you need assistance I'm sure leadership would send a steam announcement to help you out. As for dust 2, it's already popular enough to where it's on the top of the list for pubs to find.

Let me know if you want to play in office and I'd be happy to spread the word. That global chat works wonders 
Office is my home, and It's one of my goals to get it's rank higher every week. So far it's looking good. The more people we can get in there at odd times of day the better.

Don't just seed in spec either, pubs may join because people are in game, but they aren't going to stick around if all of the players are spectators.

Yea I agree. Office should be just as full as dust2 is. If I see 5-6 people, I usually jump in.

I like Highschool personally. I think it is one of the most balanced maps we have.
Pretty much this. I'm only into D2 DM with like 20 people.

IMO if you have a bunch of people on your friends list then you should just invite them all to play, and the more players people see in the server, then the more will join, theoretically(sp?)
