i have a very large ban list, it's over 11,000 steamid banned in the last 7 months. btw this is for cs 1.6, it's cheaters heaven here.

the problem that we have is that everytime we manually add a ban to the server it spikes.

anyone know how to fix this problem?

nick helped me fixed the slow map change by adding the line exec banned.cfg to the autoexec.cfg. thanks for your help on that one.

Rename the current banlist to like banned43006.cfg and execute it autoexec.cfg. This will act as an archive for all your old bans.

That will leave you with an empty active banlist (banned.cfg), so everytime you ban someone it will just add it to a smaller file. Then you can periodically make updates to the archived one.
