I can definitely see myself playing on this server a lot (just in time for summer!). I just hope that we don't all end up staying on one server all the time (like what happened at The other Gaming place)...

You hit the nail on the head - I said pretty much the same thing in the admin forum. I'd love to see the simple Rock the Vote implemented on the server, just to reduce the admin hassle of having to babysit the maplist every single map.
Ideally, it could also be a more open testing ground for new maps. And hopefully encourage others to find interesting maps to try out - we'll certainly have a population that's much more open to trying new maps than what we've seen on #1.
Dilluting server 1 population or spreading ourselves too thin is absolutely a visible concern that we'll be monitoring, hence the need to differentiate the two. Our community is small but growing, and having a single server full of -F-s, while awesome, limits our exposure to other likeminded players. Hence, the new server. It should be noted that this is more or less a trial period to see if we can sustain both servers.
I think the ideas of 24/7 anything or having a karaoke server can safely be dismissed...

Our servers offer the highest levels of teamwork and compelling gameplay, and both of those of course work directly against that.
