No it's not dead. Don't be discouraged by the fact that it only has like 3 bars. It's not the largest TS2 server ever but it still has an active community so you can give it a shot. You might end up liking the game.
You might actually be a little bit confused there. Yes we have good numbers but also there has been a hacker messing with HSB so if we got Snake's stone it's probably because he did it again.
