Server suggestions.
I was cruising around other BFBC servers last week and found one that had a team speak server as well. Two problems they had, one the only place that it was mentioned that there was a team speak server was when you first logged on, second when I went to their forum (it was a BF clan) to find the team speak information it was buried in their web page. I was asking in the chat window every now and then if someone knew the ts info and was getting no replies. So an improve for our server might be a script that runs at the beginning of each round that uses the same text style of message that you get from an admin message. "Team Speak enabled server! Visit www.teamplayergaming.com/ts" The easier the web addy is to remember the better which would help with the second problem. I don't know anything about the interface that bf uses but I know in a source game if someone typed "ts" it could auto message something back, like what is used for motd and help and info on source games. Having the ts is such a huge selling factor for us that it should be a very visible aspect.
Kind of like I said before with doing two conquest rotations to every rush rotation instead just have a higher priority for the popular maps. If you look on the server list you'll notice that there are very few servers that run a 24/7 rush map or rush map rotation, its conquest that seems to bring the peeps in.
One thing that vexes the shit out of me is that its so freaking hard to get folks on your friends list for this game, and it being separate from steam as well. So a steam bfbc group that posts community information is in order! Maybe a message on the servers that joining the steam group would be a good way to get information about our community would also be a draw. I'll go ahead and make the steam group, going to name it TPG Bad Company and send out the invites.

Re: Server suggestions.
Hmmm...
I see a potential idea here: Our TS3 server is identified by an IP addy that flashes on the screen if you are not on TS (and it is a VERY effective notification!). But a domain-name type addy like "tpgteamspeak.com" or something might get far more people to connect to our TS server... it is a lot easier than a dotted-quad to look at and key in between rounds.
I don't know if we can change that, but it might get more of those who are new to TPG to sign into TS.
