All good in that surgery and I hope you recover well.

Our servers run sv_pure 2 which allows all custom mods to be allowed in game.
By the sounds of your problem you have a mod or 2 that isnt working or conflicting with each other. I would recommend to uninstall mods one by one to see which is causing it.
If you are not running any mods at all , then when your getting the black screen in game. Open your console and see what error message appears

Unfortunately the servers will be offline until a certain problem is fixed :/
Our ban database has been acting up the past week or so and we find it in our best interests to keep the servers offline till the problem is fixed
The second the problem is fixed we will have the servers back up in no time!

Unless it's happening for everyone (which I imagine it isn't). Probably your client having an issue.. going black I would be inclined to say graphics? does it recover after or do you have to restart?

The servers are offline guys do to banned players being able to connect recently. We have over 500+ bans on the servers.
We just thought it would be in the best interests for players on the servers to not have banned players connect in the servers.
The last thing we want is banned hackers and toxic players in the servers causing problems.
 

Yeah, that side too, but if there is so much troubles as it said in first post "Our ban database has been acting up the past week", 
I think that if there where registered users using it, there would be less that problem.

Usually at Xtremeidiots servers people are nice: I have seen good group spirit in there and it is more nicer to play when there is good crew. My game is more better in that point. Mental pressing is only good for braking spirit of the crew

with all the new players some of the regulars are crying about the lack of knowledge of the game . but they have to remember they were new once.

Who vote kicked you?
 

If you can remember the names of the people who tried to vote kick you , we can look into it
