Well I am super late to this conversation lol, but i'll put in my 2 cents:
1. I'm paying barely anything for this server so hosting is not an issue to me
2. I would like to see everyone move to Daggolin's server eventually. We've been testing things a lot and we're trying to favor everyone's needs. I think it will happen at some point. We just need to test a bit more.
3. I agree with everything Boothand mentioned
4. Both mods work great. The problem is, in order to get full benefits of the 1.02 server, you'll have to use regular 1.02 jk2mp instead of JK2MV, or else you won't get all the features that are included, and obviously using JK2MV would be much better (this is stated in previous posts so I won't elaborate anymore on this). Daggolin's updates on his mod is great because you can pick & choose what you want to do, with !mode pjk2 / vjk2. What I do fear is having 1.02 players not want to play on this simply because it's using 1.04 animations, meaning "IT WON'T BE THE SAME BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAVE THIS DISTINCT 1.02 FEEL TO IT (aka my character doesn't tilt the faster I go)".

I lel'd many minutes. Why a dildo? And why is it black? SO many questions.
6. One thing that Daggolin's mod has that destroys NT's mod is being able to /callvote for any map, rather than callvote nextmap. Very annoying on 1.02 defrag I may add.
7. I would like to eventually stop hosting this 1.02 defrag server at some point. Not because it's an inconveinence or anything like that; but mainly because of what I wrote at #2. Not to mention all of the players there really wanted new maps, which they did create new maps. But I am pretty sure that they are not added to NT's repository so they won't download at all. The only way you can join the server is if you know WHO to ask to download, which is pretty bad. It's basically a server for a small group of people which I don't really approve of. It was fine before because all of the maps were downloadable through NT's client, but now it's a bit unfortunate. =/
Sorry if this is messy and out of context but I just wrote this off the top of my head ;D
