I regularly play on a server that has all the standard maps - but thats all.
Is there a way to introduce a map to the server? - perhaps to get it to
download the map from somewhere else?
I have written to the server owner already, but have had no reply...
Cheers -

No.

Only someone with direct access to the server via FTP similar method can put 
maps on it. If you get no response from admins, you are SOL.

Hmm - thanks for that.  Somehow I knew it was so, but there was no harm in
asking.

You could try my server.... It's in Seattle, so your ping from Australia 
probably will suck, but I have one guy from hawaii that plays there 
a lot. copy/paste this into console: 
/connect duckpond.nuclearfallout.net

Thanks, but I suck playing on a server that is 2000kms away.  I normally
play on http://games.daveandalicia.com/  which hasnt been bad, except for
the lack of variety.  Which reminds me of a thread I have been meaning to
create...

I was just on there - nice maps!  So from Sydney Australia, to Seattle, I
was pinging at 200 - 230,  but i have played on worse -

Strangely enough, i recorded my first violation of some sort for having my
timenudge setting at -30.  This is normal over here - i wonder why i havent
been picked up on it before....?  When I am on a server and pinging in the
200's - I WANT some type of timenudge or my eyes get freaky...  Anyways -
thanks for that -

Sorry about the timenudge thing, I have some players that are very anti-
timenudge, and harrassed me until I banned its use.
Take a look at my site, most of the maps you see on the maps page link are on 
the server and can be voted. I also have some files/configs/etc in the misc. 
page.

No worries - I am interested to know why it was banned though - if everyone
can use it, what is the issue?
Taking a look now - thanks heaps!
