And we've been getting a lot of fresh young people on the forums that just aren't really interested for whatever reason (you guys who haven't been around for more than a year should look at the first 10-15 map battles, they rocked!) Most of those participants are gone from the forums now.

I'm probably just talking about myself now. But whatever the reason the fact is that interest has declined, and it's a fair amount of work for us to run these things. I'm not sure if it's worth it either.
Maybe if someone fresh took the reigns for these battles things might pick up.

examples: planetphillip and tf2maps.net for example => usually have to be playable
