I don't run a "popular server" (Team Fortress 2, according to GameTracker we are ranked in the 95th percentile, but I can't say I've seen more than 10 hackers in the few years I've been running it. We also have very minimum administration, and I don't know why some servers get it worse than others.
I used to worry about hackers because of threads like this where I read everyone's woes and then solutions/preventions to the "hacking menance". Upon looking at installing some programs I've decided to hold back until I do get an influx of hackers and cheaters. When the F2P update hit I thought for certain we would get flooded with them but since then we have been nearly always full and free of hacks.
