The server went down for a month last year and the CTF community basically died as a result.

It was weird because Trinicom was super-busy a little over a year ago until that happened. We raided Trinicom for players for xCTF testing a lot, there were always 8-12 players there.

The death of Trinicom, in my opinion, was largely due to them not having a forum. Had they had one, they could have collectively decided on another CTF server to hang out on.

The loss of a server never really affected the CA or RuneQuake communities. The CTF guys had no organization at all and almost none of them seemed to know of any other Quake servers, they had an IRC channel but I don't think many of them knew about it so it wasn't much good.

There are still a number of players that like CTF, the Thursday night CTF games did very well back in March/April until the games got so lopsided with 2 or 3 CTF gods stacked on a single team (and if I recall correctly, refused to switch teams to balance it out) that I think interest waned.

CTF will eventually be back I think. I've seen some ThreeWave games heat up. There just needs to be a critical mass of players to fuel the games. About a month ago, I saw several 8 player games at HDZ occur that would last hours and hours.
