ICCUP Review; Was the move worth it?

This is a serious discussion only thread. Just curious on your thoughts as to what has the move to ICCUP accomplished? Was it worth it? What are some reasons Good or Bad. Some bad things i've noticed is we lost some potential returning old players such as saviour, cribz, etc. and lost touch with the useast community (ums players and casual snipers) haven't seen people like quickly, brendan, sniperlegend etc. It seems like we bring in the same amount of new players (none / little) and that the iccup community doesn't have as many people as useast. We still deal with hacks (sa undetectable). On the plus side flooding/loading is prevented on iccup but i'm pretty sure i got hosthacked during a game as soon as ]renegade[ joined the game so it looks like that's still there. I know we can add up to 50 players, but I don't think we even have 50 players that play the game. Just looking to see what was the major benefit to the change to iccup? IMO it doesn't really look like it did much.

I've been on plenty, but I can never find a game because I never see anyone on. Wasn't like that on East, that's why I made a serious topic.

I barely see you on, and I've been active a lot.. Honestly, why not just take an active roll and re-connecting with these snipers? If you checked TtS's list, Almost all have moved, and If you guys took my advice to dl that hack that hosts in USEAST with Any name u want and it stays up forever, i think its some sort of bot. We can literally route every sniper, regardless of them knowing the clan channels or not. "Snipers moved to iccup" and the Person hosting name would be "Op Sniper" or even forums name to register or to direct them there. Can someone do that plz? Its so beneficial :/

Honestly tho..I still feel like even tho the activity is moderate it really isn't...I think its due to the fact we have 1 channel that we get the feeling its more. What happend to all the more skillful snipers? 3oD[WiNg], Rigo, Gambit, MavericK, sKiD, Druzil, LocK, TeaLaGe, LethaL, Cribz, BaSe, 9iNe? Not to mention MaKsU and a wholeeeee bunch others like DeNy, GaLaxy. They barely come and play...compared to east when they were on basically every day. Vanguard actually has been active. TkO-LaZy Fell of the map, ES-SiT is once a full moon...wtf is going on? Did we make this move to die off? MLS isn't starting, these snipers aren't coming on at all. This shit is boring. Anyone wanna help with this revival? Regardless of all these players not being active...we have lots of new snipers that have joined the community such as Ku3, Arca(Crema), Zitos, WA-Shield, and a whole bunch of others...

@ BaSe, can you reach out to cribz and at least lets get his SC on iccup up and running? same with 9iNe and whoever else... 2drunk is on SC2 and he has moved on. I've actually brought back Spiritual and so far he hasn't hacked once..and is making a good comeback skill wise.

I'd post my opinion, but most on here would just deny it and jump to conclusions, so I'll refrain.

How is that productive? No need to censor yourself, it's important everyone voices their opinion. Whether people agree with you or not is inconsequential.

I have a solution for you, but it requires that you run a mirage bot.

Mirage bot allows you to view the game list for the game you're loading the bot on. So, if you have a USEast broodwar bot loaded, you can view the USEast UMS game list through your bot. It gives you all the usual game information, like the host and time hosted, so you can tell them to hold you a spot.

That's what I've been doing anyway.
Can mirage works on iccup too?
