What is this?
This is a Server Administration plugin that provides you with a couple things.
Server Time:
Server Date:
Current Map:
Next Map:
Time Left:
Players (Total/InGame/Connecting):
UpTime:
Why'd you make this?
I grew rather tired of joining a server that I had admin on, then attempted to figure out how much time I had left to FTP over a plugin just to test it out. I also grew tired of going into my Console, or dealing with the scoreboard to figure out how many players are connected, let alone still connecting and or are actually ingame.
Why are you sharing this?
I find it extremely useful and non intrusive. Others will probably find it the same. I've been quite the *leech* so to speak in the past, so I thought I'd share something useful with everyone.

Notes
I've done my absolute best to optimize this. If anyone has any tips or suggestions for features, by all means share them!
EDIT: Just wanted to publicly thank Psychonic, Kevin_b_er, Inflatable_Soulmate, pRED, Tsunami, rhelgeby, Greyscale, and of course MatthiasVance for helping me in IRC in the past. If I've forgotten you, sorry! D:!
EDIT2: I don't know if this works in TF2 or any other game besides CS:S. Could someone test it and let me know?
