people who complained about mlg_bearun complain about technoir, or scooby doo being too long. and i mean, if ur giving the expectation to just play a simple map with fair and clear indicated traps, but are thrown into something like an obstacle course, its unorthodox and i get why they'd get upset.
im so confident in that statement because i used to be the same and i mean, if mlg bearun and all those maps that really helped improve my interest on bhop and the server were removed, i dont think i, or many others would be playing to this day. i know bhop is more widely disliked or unexplored, but i think there is more people unhappy then happy with the removal of it, considering ive had a lot of people shocked by its disappearance, or had zero care. if people didnt want the map, they wont vote for it.
i suppose in conclusion, i dont see any upsides into removing a map other then to make the nomination list look cleaner? but its a huge trade for people who might enjoy the map. i guess maps like the old stardust deserved to get removed because of the easy exploitable record glitch and the other exploits associated with the map, but even something like bigroom wasnt worth removing because it has its charm and although probably being the most inebriated feeling weirdly designed map, there isnt anything worth removing it for, because if it doesnt want to be played, it wont be voted for. especially with competition to the super overly played enjoyed maps, and the new ones that were just added.
