I will comment on why our last attempt at a CS:S server failed. ~IMHO~ it didn't work because we'd create the server, get it populated, then change it, lose players, get some back, change it again, and continue until no one was interested in bothering. I still play 24/7 Office servers, as do a lot of current and former sR members. We still enjoy it... it's just not as much fun without the great sR community.
As a former admin, I can say with certainty that we had such a success because of that community. We all took part in keeping the servers free of hackers, spammers, porn, racism, harassment, etc. We ensured it was a safe, moderately clean, friendly place that people would feel comfortable even letting their kids play on (CoffeeShark and Sleepy come to mind).
So, maybe that could be something to look into. I know it was sR's 24/7 Office server that brought myself and Mr. vega here.
