Any map that doesn't have gm_ before it isn't really a sandbox map and wasn't intended for a sandbox server. You have two rp_ maps which is for DarkRP and even a zs_ map which is for Zombie Survival. If those were to be added, they wouldn't ever be seen in the mapvote since it runs on gm_ maps unless Saint specifically adds them to the mapvote.
As for the server capacity, that's not the problem. The server gets pretty populated at times so reducing it would actually do more harm than good. I've seen the server actually reach max capacity before, so why would we reduce the slots?
You bring up a lot of fair points which I appreciate it but of course I'm going to defend my standing here as strongly as I can. First and foremost I can't see the issue in file size as practically nobody has issues with such a thing on a pretty standard desktop setup or even slightly lower that that. Additionally we're talking about a whole server handling such a thing so it absolutely won't be an issue (Because of course file size does not dictate the methods used to create the map, which are more responsible for the lag.). I respect your right to have an opinion but I will state that in my opinion some dark maps would simply do more good than harm, adding variety and a different style of gameplay than the typical, "I can see everything everywhere out in the open so nothing surprises me." which just doesn't sound very fun after a while when it comes to PVP. As for building I can understand the concern, which is why the light tool comes in awfully handy when you're doing that as well as the !build command.
Your final point is completely valid and I find myself having a hard time arguing against it so I suppose I should make this very clear. I provided multiple options on the final poll so that people would have some comfort in making their decision, as such a decision is a sacrifice of course. My intent behind speaking of reducing the max player limit was to improve the speed of the server overall at the sacrifice of how many people can be in it. Trust me if people were to crack down more on the clearly underage, toxic, and/or excessively AFK players there would still be space. That and of course like Demonik1 said there is reserved slots for admins to join in, which is why I specified players and did not include the amount of admins as well, as I had no clue of the amount and future amount.
Well there you go, I did what I could to convince you and yeah good choice on Shambles, it is the most useful one out of the bunch for the server's current system. The rest have varying degrees of extra complexity for the sake of quality as I said.
Oh dear, I've just realized people can pick quite and odd combination of choices on the first poll. Oh well it should still be relatively reliable despite that as long as people don't screw with it too much.
