Or, do what I do and disable moving for medium tanks in my ThinkTanks Grand Prix server....

Nathan, I'm not sure that is a good idea. That makes demos think that the game is buggy and questionable. One of the concerns BraveTree had with MODS is that demos would be confused and have a negative reaction to TT based on the experience in a MOD. If I was a demo, and my tank couldn't move on a server, I would get frustrated and would probably have a negative reaction to the game as a whole.

Why not just make it a team game so that demos can't get in to start with?

As for getting demos to buy. Be nice to them, and let them score once in a while, just enough for the to get bitten by the scrum bug...

See "The 44 Scholarship Fund" thread for a new idea.
