Thank for you interest 
Players can prefer Simple Servers compared to Technically Advanced Servers ?
I respect players choices… they are free to decide… :)[/B]
I prefer something Small & Cool than something UnCool…
Perhaps that BastardMod is “crappy mod”, but I am not sure of that… 
BastardMOD is a MOD based on ETPub 0.9.1 (and updated).
… because Server F1 with BastardMOD have already got rank 59

But I rest opened to change of MOD because I have already setup all MODs for some other persons on some other Dedicated Servers. But in fact I generally prefer ETPub’s BasedMod.
And I am not sure the problem is coming from the MOD Choice…
Seriously, who that read that document has taken 5 minutes to come and test my Server ? 1, 2 persons ??..
Problem is more we are Opened Server we are not a clan & perhaps the result is coming from my personal work…
& that I have disabled my Servers names to appear in Main Server list for 4 months to prevent some abusive attacks.
& also we do not appear in 2.6X server list :o… ! I do not want to use a Server Facade.
& Because Many players are gone to play other games ; because advertisement for W:ET is very bad. Nobody want to advertise for a game that Bring no money.
& Because my Forum suck because I have not got time for managing it (more since some attacks on it).
… And for sure it is always possible that my servers Suck 
It is not at me to say it, but to the Players that take 5 minutes to test my servers 
Players are always free to decide…
I have nothing to won. If I have done the servers it is to provide a Free Fun Service…
… and to work on some technical fun aspects 
Players can come with their Clan Tag if they want we are opened Servers.
Players that continue to play W:ET “search firt” now :
-
standard 10/20 maps always the same maps : 80% want new maps but in fact they only love the maps they already play always or to see the old map back always :o
-
to say : hey I am in a very known and strict Clan see my nice Clan Tag 
-
or they want to pay to get Admin level (they have paid they are forced to come & play, to make their payment profitable…)
Sure not all Clan work like that because there are some nice Clan.
What I say is : players are free to come if they want and love our server (also with their Clan Tag if they want).
Players can come and get admin level if they are Correct and Fair players ! It is free ! Nothing to Pay !
For you what is the best MOD ? SilentMod ?? NQ ?? N!tMod ?? 
But, in fact, what does it change ? Because at the end 99% of W:ET servers are similars to each others… there are no real Differences…
