One simple solution that occurred to me while playing was to reshuffle or entirely drop the player list between matches/maps instead of the same people getting stay on the roster the entire time, if that's fairly easy to do out of the box or script with Zandronum.

 pa> Main thing is; these are good problems to have!!! Its been a great

Definitely!

 pa> Right??? On avg we're around 50-60 - literally dude!!! The local msg
 pa> areas @ 2oFB MIGHT be the most trafficked conference out of all the FTNs
 pa> even!! :P Well.... ALMOST. :P

Meanwhile, I get a few and most of them log in invisibly. I should probably start doing some self-promotion again one of these days. :P Honestly, I'm just as happy to have it be my own little retro niche on the Internet, and enough people (such as yourself) occasionally give it shout outs, I can't complain! Although... 80 callers a day. Phew.

 pa> Just give a .png/image... we'd love to have you!

Will do! This would pair nicely with some upcoming changes we're planning for the network... *wink*
