Looks like quite a few have betrayed the cause and are happily playing away at MW2...which is OK, since it's the way of the general public not to stand up for what they believe in. On the down side of this, it leaves a hollow spot in your server situation, immediately noticeable by the empty server #3. What to do what to do??? Perhaps, it's time to think of something to do with an empty server. Maybe change it's format and try and give it new life, at least until the end of the month when you turn it off. Who know what will happen...worth a try.

We had an event in BK that pulled 8 of our members away. To make sure we had admins we limited our selves to two servers tonight. I believe server 3 will be important especially on weekends. Thanks for the suggestion.

Ultimately this may end up to be your servers demise. But until then why not try something exceptional with it...don't "wait and see" and waste it's emptiness until the next billing cycle and shut it off never knowing.
I believe your right about it seeing some use over a weekend, but how much is yet to be seen. Every single day I hear complaints about rpg this and blind spam that and camp here and exploit that. Why not experiment with it while it appears to be empty?
Jumping from a sinking ship and grabbing onto the first available flotilla, no matter how small, just may save your life when the ship goes down and takes everything on it down as well.
As an experienced server operator, 2 days in a row with an empty server that was normally occupied would cause me to have started bailing out water and patching holes and offering my guests something new. Bullet damage setting changes, some kit restrictions, and less warnings wouldn't be an alien concept to a server. Who knows, you might draw a crowd with it, and server #2 might become an overflow server.
I really am a halfway decent guy and these are not demands or accusations of any kind, but merely observations of ebb and flow and possible solutions to keep a server viable and assist as much as I can to keep playable enterprises alive and well.
