I believe there was a "vote" on whether large maps should be pulled not long ago.
The majority of the furballing community has either left, or rarely played, now and during when that vote took place.
The majority of the participants in that vote were the very small remaining population of what used to be great. Many of which probably registered their vote from a camped spawn or field gun.
I doubt that pole was up more than a week.
Similar to the reminder that the free beta is going on now.
Guess if you dont catch them in a weeks time.. just throw in the towel, eh?
