I was mentioned, should I write something now?
Many regulars have already left Setti, and more will leave in the future. You see so many topics of good old Setti players declaring to abandon Setti these days, and even I rarely play on Setti anymore for a lot of reasons.
The servers are laggy (not as bad as they were though thanks to headHUNTERZ) and have a bad hit registration. Most of the time they are empty, only noobs join, and if I wanted to play a 2vs2 like that I might as well play against bots. No AWP server was killed, and because that worked out just so well, Custom Maps server now was killed too (Setti Classic ... I laughed). I don't even know if there's a Setti Main left (psychostats says it does), at least none of the IPs advertised on the broken homepage connect to it, most of them are non-existent and still there because just nobody gives a fuck. The only server with still players on it is the Dust2 only server, even though even this well visited server can't nearly reach the popularity it had back in the old days. (By the way, de_dust2 all the time is fucking boring).
Silent Sniper, I've also been playing a bit with different nicknames, and I still come back to this forum from time to time to check if anything has changed for the better, but I get disappointed more and more. I don't want to sound nostalgic, but Setti once were glorious, well visited servers with lots of nice people. A few of these persons are still here, but most have left this sinking ship for good, and so will I with time.
In conclusion: Shitty and empty servers with noob players and incompetent admins that don't care + a broken forum. There are other servers too, where you can play CS:S.
PS: I'm way more into Dota2 now anyway, if somebody wants to play with me, I might still have a few free copies to give away
