This server stems from a project started during the Covid-19 lockdowns. After scraping as many maps with the string "surf" in the name that could be found on the Counter-Strike Global Offensive workshop, the maps were zoned as best they could be. This included scraps of maps, unfinished projects, single-ramp maps, any and every unique BSP on the workshop was given equal treatment. This task was obviously arduous, and eventually split into two "branches" of focus. Thunderdome's home database and a game server with another friend that ended up taking more of my time, ultimately stopping the project when Counter-Strike 2 was released. Now that Counter-Strike Global Offensive has been given it's own standalone executable, I thought it would be fun to dust off the latest database backup I have and pick back up where we left off!

The Counter-Strike Source server is more of a side-project to me. The intention behind that, giving a home to more esoteric and old maps that don't quite fit the standards of modern surf, or simply haven't fallen into the mainstream map pools.
