Is our community gradually dying?

(1/4) > >>

TehHank:
Now it has occured to me that over the past 6 months since Gmod 13 arrived, the amount of newcomers we welcome has fallen to almost very little compared to the previous years. What also concerns me is that the Ratio of Admin/VIP:Regular members has been imbalanced with the drastic increase of Admin promotions and VIP promotions.

Not to mention many Admins and members have left the community last year and the year before. Also like to mention that our Stronghold and Zombie survival servers have little to no activity, compared to 1-2 years ago when they were constantly populated most of the time.

Now i am not saying any serious actions have to be taken but rather think about where our community now stands and whether eventually we will become just a large group of friends that play together.
Discuss.

The community was founded on the basis for people to hang out and have a good time together.

Whether it be Dayz, minecraft, tf2, some mmo, etc. I always see people hanging out together and trying to set up group events.

Garry's Mod was one of the original initiators but things change and interests shift. The community has always been an open door and you can come and go as you please. Also note people who have stayed for years and some people that have come back. I am not attempting to dismiss the fact that some players have left, however I would rather acknowledge the good times we had with them and attempt to make more fun memories with the people around today.

Keep in mind no offense to you in particular, however this is typical response I have heard over the years over and over. Our community has seen dips and spikes but on average we have always come out bigger somehow. This might not continue forever but I am not going to make some drastic change to attempt in reviving some statistic which may or may not hold that much significance. While I am not going to attempt to make any predictions I see a lot of new content coming our way soon. Hopefully people will enjoy it and become part of the community but that's all I can say.

I have tried my best to transition the Garry's Mod servers over from version 12 to 13 with the help from ruben and minic especially and we have gotten really far with that. There were concerns that we wouldn't be able to switch over at all.

The last few GMod updates rendered custom content on a lot of servers inoperable making it impossible for new people to play zs and stronghold.

Their popularity was actually increasing overall since I started hosting 24/7 again.

Also, we still have much more than a lot of other communities, consider how many servers we have and dedicated members.

I stuck with this when there was maybe me and a few others I knew personally playing wire years ago and it developed into something much larger.

While there are always times of lower inactivity, I would say our community is stronger by the fact that we actually don't require the Garry's Mod servers to keep us together.

saivon:
Yeah I was asking one of my friends the same thing eventually and I don't why but I still keep thinking about it.

But I don't really think it is dying and what coolz said the community is pretty strong so idk it's not dying though I know that for a fact.

People will come and go, and no matter how many people are in our community, we will always be thriving. It doesn't matter how many people are with us, it just matters how many people care.

Peetah:
I hope there will be a new generation of players coming soon.
