Here are the general rules to keep this game live while people keep it installed yet.
1. Stop intending the game for old overskilled players. Make it easy playable for beginners. Equalize players' skills with weird innovations or somehow else;
2. Stop spawning servers with just several well known ancient cfgs. Make new cfgs with visible and sensible (for ordinary players) changes. Make your server different with unique features;
3. Change stagnant and yawnful server names. Let it picture beautifully the game itself but not just present the owner or other meaningless things for a casual browser;
4. Do a work on your servers: maintain it fresh and well visible, keep in order and play more with your players. Do not wait for someone else to do it for you.

Since almost all people inside community playing on two servers, I dont see the point to do that.

Q3 player populous is in a decline, and niche mods like E+ are the first to feel the effect of it. There are more people leaving than joining, and fancy server names or w/e isn't going to change it.

??? What cfg are you referring to, this statement just seems odd. I'm curious as to what you have to say of Qlive or any other mod if the learning curve is steep here.

Again, ??? We have 3 public servers afaik running plus.cfg. On the contrary it would be really benifical if more servers actually used the cfg that we play CW's on.

OK. Concrete examples here would be good.

Yep.

Panda is talkin about more change to the game and for the player.-
that means different features on more servers
and ofc >>>new maps! 
It would also be cool if some admins would decide to change their whole concept.
I mean, it should be able to list servers on Spider that dont have E+Mod <<<
Q3Pong is a very great FUN-Mod ...u all LOVE Football/Soccer! cmon!
And Catch the Chicken is a great Training-Mod!-
(they could be added on Spider in a separate list.)

Yes it is about new maps too. Downloading is not a big problem since there is a way to force game cvars and gain download speed. The problem is rather ethical because of forcing itself. If some bright minds will think it out and find a solution (i mean ethic aspect), we could apply this tech.

imo good option would be make this mod more dynamic. Most of the time there is nothing to do, should be more well-preapared events but not only freeze, other gametypes exist as well and we have to promote those, it will help with breaking routine 
everything in clanleaders hands, they should show some initiative and realize clan members need some dissimilarity on playing games. 
Second matter is ranking. Ranking system should be thing that pushing clans to playing cw and force those to competition. E+ ranking is only empty numbers. Solution could be ESL ranking but only few clans was singed. Good idea would be try once again that, and encourage all clans one by one to sign in 
If present players would have will and motivation to play then thers no need to worry about new players cos they will come for sure:>

Piss on E+, piss on E+ Ranking. "This" mod has no future, it is out of development, easy+ doesn't care a shit to make a final release. E+ for easy+ is meanwhile the lowest priority. Don't waste ur energy for "this" mod.
E+ ranking is dead because of a stubborn "mod", and a barely available admin. the database can't be updated because of that.
Aww, and don't think that nobody tryed to bring up the other gametypes more. A couple of the most successful server-owners here in e+ failed on that already.
Be patient, save ur energy, until the new/old mod, but with development is released...

These "new maps" are simply not big enough for E+.
Bear in mind you can fly/bfg around the majority of standard maps in like 5 seconds. there are only a handful of e+ friendly maps available in my opinion.

OK, it is clear and good for admins of that two servers and for people who play there. But the other admins, who crying about their empty servers, might take a time and do something to get players in. My statements above are my own experience in server building and, of course, not the only right way. I expect someone else would tell here his view of the problem. The question is how to get server full. It is an abstract question regardless to who where likes to play.
