Map suggestions for the go server

What ever happened to the map pack from earlier in the year? I was going through the map list and found some intriguing new options that I'd like to have a closer look at; but in the process I noticed thunder, motel, etc weren't in the database anymore.
 
Some got the ax for performance reasons (Motel was really crappy in that regard) and other maps killed the server. I'd love to see Highrise (?) back, personally (I think it was removed).
 
Some of the maps are scripted really poorly I guess. I was playing keystone the other day, and a majority of the server liked it when I polled them. The map is gigantic though, and it was lagging in the middle area for everyone playing. I crossed it off the list, but still have 4-5 other new maps I'd like to try. Unfortunately, some were downloads, and I don't remember which weren't. For whatever reason, downloaded maps scare people away. I'd much rather be testing new maps that no one has to download.
Since I've already downloaded the maps that didn't come stock, I have no way of knowing which to try first, so someone needs to link me to the associated info if there was a recent valve map pack, or whatever. (I think agency and ruins were both non dl, so they might be included in that list)
 
I would love to see a new map or two in rotation... What time I get to play nowadays is spent on the same three maps... I've kinda been bored lately and not been so motivated to play... I do like to play when I see some of the top ranking guys playing, at least then I will have a fair challenge

I'll be on tonight for sure, missed last night because one of my little princesses didn't want to sleep... I hope to see an admin so we can mapvote something fun or new... I might disconnect if it goes to inferno... I seriously hate that map

Bottom line is that inferno holds players on the server, and maps that fall into this category are few and far between. No one is going to unanimously approve of everything we play, (I hate office for example) but maps that hold people's interest are extremely hard to come by. I wish the average guy was more adventurous in what he's willing to try, but the maps on the server right now are honestly the only 4 we could have in a rotation.
That said, there are plenty of different maps that won't eliminate traffic once the server is already running. A more consorted effort on other admin's part would be nice, but you can guarantee every time I'm on the server that we're going to be playing a lot of different maps. Nuke, train, italy, mill, cbble, kyrenia, cache, original dust/aztec once in a blue moon, etc are all in my wheelhouse and in conjunction with d2, inferno and strike we have a pretty broad spectrum of maps.
There are a few more I'd like to get on the server, and like I said earlier, I still have yet to trial run some of the decent looking maps already loaded. Other admins should be throwing map votes up more often than they are, but I can keep the server hot for hours on end with what's presently available.

Though something all admins should know is that a very conservative map list needs to be implemented late at night, and d2 should be played almost exclusively after 1:30/2 am.
 
I generally let the rotation go until the nextmap is d2, then I put other maps up for a vote. I think Nuke could make it into rotation, but without admins you run the risk of all the terrorists rage quitting after a few rounds. I also like Train personally but it's one of those maps that requires a decently filled server before picking. I just don't know what we could add to default rotation. I wish we could replace Mirage though, I'm not really fond of that map.
