Advice for running a server on Halo 1?

I have trouble getting people to wanna stay in my server and play most of the time. I do have a couple of buddies that play with me often without leaving, but everyone else just seems to leave, sometimes instantly, sometimes after a game.
My question is, what are some good settings for a server on Halo 1 that will keep people in the game? I do realize that I am competing with servers that already have a good rep on gamespy, but if I can just get a good game going for at least as long as I am online, I would be happy.
To be more helpful, my usual game settings include, all shotgun (both team and FFA), all rockets (both FFA and team), CTF with two flags and using all weapons, and Team Slayer using all weapons. I never use shields or friendly fire. I use the default vehicle settings and auto-balance teams.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Game Types: Team Slayer, CTF or FFA Slayer

Weapons: The best setting is default when in a team game, but in a Free for all a specific weapon set like snipers, shotty's and rockets are fun.

Maps: BLOODGULCH

Keep shields on. But no friendly fire in team matches.
Also try naming your server something that will stand out. Which would you join? halo ctf or CTFOMG
