imo, a pw server would be incredible for the current community, but not good overall for expanding. personally i would like to see one, but thats just because im selfish. pw server=no f2p noobs, and all the regulars would probably be there(which is how i decide where to play) that doesnt attract people to the community though. i favorited this server because of the people, and thats how i came to be on the forums, and a donator. if the regulars are all in one server together, and the other servers are filled with random gamers, the random gamers wont stay with the game, and they wont stay with the community. this is a great chance to get new people in the community, and to get new donors, but the chances of that happening decreases a ton if we dont give players a reason to favorite the server, and join the forums.

that being said, i had a horrible time in sb2 this afternoon, i played for 25 minutes then quit because of how bad it was

Something I said in a different thread:

It would be really easy to setup an auth plugin and then setup a separate database that people can register for with their steamID. The Lost Continents servers do that for somethingawful, I bet they would even share the code if we wanted it. As long as the register instructions and link are in a sticky, I think it could work well.

The plugin also lets anyone join the server while it's populating, but it will kick players who don't have whitelist slots once it's full and also for whitelist players to join

No point for a password server. Because it would at most have 12 players in it and 6v6 is only fun in arena and how do you plan to spread the password around without free to play players finding it by merely going to this website. Also segregates players and makes the current servers pointless if all the admins are in a password protected server not protecting the regular server from hackers. This is the opposite of spreading the critsandvich community and having more contributors benefit from the critsandvich experience. More attention should be on regulating the current servers and ensuring everyone has a good time on the server with the current regulars.
