I went on the server yesterday and got some players on the server. After about an hour we had 10+ people for 4 hours.(The server even maxed out at one point. There were a lot of people.)
Either no one seems to read my comments or no one understands what I'm saying so I'll just directly suggest people give a positive solution rather than simply say 'something needs to be different.' In other words, find a good gamemode that would potentially bring a significant amount of more activity to the server.
I have seen TTT get quite popular at certain times and do check if I'm on Gmod or will simply look at the information on the main page, and don't think it's as terrible as some people want to say. I can't entirely blame people for thinking it's dead though because compared to what it used to be it really is quite dead, but that simply happens. But at least give some alternatives, nothing gets done otherwise.
You posted yours while i was typing mine out lmaoI myself have nerver actually played WS and I would love to play.
I don't think the times when people are on even comes close to making up for how long it stays empty, in my opinion. But i think ZS/Sledbuild or even WS would be good choices because ZS/SB server lists don't even come CLOSE to having as much servers as TTT does. TTT has close to 1K servers while both Slebuild and Zombie Survival don't have any more than 40 servers and still have many players. As for WS it would probably have it's own server list where if we got a couple of people on we could easily get it populated because it would be more noticable than TTT in the sea of endless other TTT servers.
You posted yours while i was typing mine out lmaoThose are pretty much the only suggestions I could come up with as well, but ignoring how much I'd personally want any of those, I don't think people will be willing to play them. ZS died off soo badly just like TTT is. WS same situation though it'd often get a few people on semi-frequently. Sledbuild is just no, same situation as WS but even more time totally empty from what I'd see. Though when it did have people it'd somewhat often get an alright number in there, but not enough for me to want it again.

I can back this up, we actually had a really good player count for a few hours yesterday.

A little late getting around to this, but I have been away from a good computer for 110 days. We just unpacked the moving truck into our new house, so I should be able to get back to chugging out TTT rounds and much more very soon. I would hate to see TTT go away or be moved. BIIIIIIG :thumbsdown: from me.I hope you at least read through the posts.
EDIT:
However, I will not be on constantly during the week, due to school. After early November, I'll be much, much more open.
All of our servers are mostly dead nowadays. RnD is almost dead. :(

shouldn't it be gmod in general that got us bored of it?Yeah, I think overall everyone just got bored of Gmod so I guess TTT is not the only thing to blame.

It's funny Chris... the server you mentioned was also getting regular Rnd's flocking to it back when it was called "mind the mod" and "downtimegames" honestly I see no reason that it's happening other than those who come there complaining about the staff here which begs to question why not a better server or just quit this tedium of a game all together.
Oh... And Chris please don't name our server here, I understand your frustration but there is no reason to name names like that when it's not the server owners' nor any of it's board members intention for the events that are happening.
Idea: why don't we all sit down, smoke a pipe and think back to what we believe started this downhill slide and share war stories. Hell actually a story server would be crazy enough to work like a clubhouse... oh wait *looks at forums* umm how about advertising that you don't and proudly don't have a pointshop. How about having a thread where we can bitch about who we don't particularly like... oh anonyboard... ummmmmmm

wow I did post that didn't I...Didn't really mean anything negative towards you guys, was pointing out to the people saying "Everyone's bored of GMod" isn't exactly true and TTT IS to blame.
Sorry I was a little "impaired" when I read through, getting messages that someone from here was on raging our staff about how we we're killing this server.
IMO TTT is on of the BEST game modes of GMOD, I love going on Traitorous rampages just to get it ended by the fail source ladders. When i first joined this community the thing that set rNd apart was the custom weapons but now almost every server has a vast selection of weapons. So there is really nothing ATM setting us appart from other servers. So we need to either try our luck with another game mode or try to add some things to our TTT server that would set us appart and keep the people coming.
*cough cough* jihad bomb. I would really like to see a new thing that restores the server to its former glory. I strongly oppose taking it down.Since almost every TTT server has a Jihad bomb. I dont think that would be of any help.

I suppose some people has gone on Gmod (recently) to play at least son of my friends. Though I don't see a reason to blame TTT for killing rNd. Awhile back we all didn't play TTT nor did we play on Gmod either. In my opinion there are many reasons why rNd is dying, and my reason is that people not playing TTT isn't a reason why we are dying. I don't see how having a TTT server could be one of the factors to rNd's downfall.

Not to point the blame at Coolzedad (because i am sure he had serious things to deal with during that time), but i still reckon that massive server downtime a whileback killed most of the active server population on all servers, with TTT's regular population dimishing the last.
Get rid of ttt due to a dryspell. NoAlthough i agree with this, I have to say it's kind of pointless now considering the average TTT player these days is some form of minge most of the time, and this is all based off of all my experiences with TTT. Sure i may be wrong and it may only be our server where all the minges come but it's still a valid point and repopulating the servers would only lead one of us to just somehow empty it out again as as I've previously mentioned in this thread. If we were to replace it it wouldn't mean it's gone forever, at this point in time it's simply pointless to keep TTT on OUR SERVERS due to what I've said before. Not to mention in the future if it calls for it, we can easily bring it back up and continue on but who knows.
Final thought a server can't die untill the community behind it let's it die. You want it back to life so badly get on the servers and attract people. Might be a slow way of doing it but it's better than blaming others for something you could be doing to help.
rNd as a community will never die, unless all members leave and never come back. The TTT server may be empty most of the time but then again the Fretta server is apparently very popular and thats amazing. So maybe making the TTT server a little more custom and making all the people who join say WOW I WOULD LIKE THAT HAT, SKIN, GUN, TRAIL, ETC..... implying we have a pointshopIf a point shop is added, I would honestly like to refrain from crap like trails and hats as hiding would be harder.
Haven't been on in a while, so I'll just type out my thoughts.To be honest, I think we just need VIPs and Admins on when everyone else is on.
Work and college takes a lot of my time, and I know for sure it takes up everyone else's. When I came back just a few months ago, only seeing some people in TTT (Tezuni and Fuzion to name a few), but I was bothered by the amount of RDM and 'Trolls'. That being said, it was around the time the so-called 'Youtube' era of Gmod was about and seeing what it was about to be, I left. There was new, promising players that showed interest in playing TTT, but they were outweighed by the amount of people trying to fuck shit up for everyone else. What made it worse was number of VIPs and Admins on to set things straight, often inactive or dealing with another server with it's own problems.
On another note, I feel responsible that the 'trolls' drove me out of TTT. So yeah, my bad. :idk:
To be honest, I think we just need VIPs and Admins on when everyone else is on.And less people crying "rNd is dead"
Clearly rNd isn't dead, or no one would be in this current discussion talking. rNd isn't just the servers, it's the community as well. I personally believe we should consider branching off and finding other game modes to host as well. While Gmod is all fun and all, but more variety I think would definitely be a boost. Also I always add this in, even though I know it won't (can't) be considered currently, but I really do believe strongly that a dark RP server of some kind would heavily increase our population. People flock to those things like ants flock to a fallen piece of food. I know a lot of people would say "Oh but that attracts annoying children" let's be a little honest to ourselves guys, most gamemodes attract children, I mean hell I was 12 fucking years old when I started playing gmod. TTT has never really been one of my favorite gamemodes, so I personally couldn't care if it went down or not, but I do believe we could use a new gamemode/game that is sure to draw attention.What would be the difference between how fairly unpopular the RP server RND has had several times (I think Dark RP at least once, if not it was something very similar) was to how popular you think it'll be now?
So I talked to Jman the other day in cs go and he said the servers are dead dat's why he left again.I don't think I can accurately express how little difference this makes or how little relevance this has...
