Replacing ttt (round 2)
Samo:
I'd say that the constant server crashing at the most inconvenient times were the worst. People wouldn't join because they knew it would crash and then become a waste of their time.
We didn't really stay because the server had/didn't have ________, we stayed because we liked being with the other players. I still talk/play with other RND members.
Now many members have moved to more active servers, bringing others along with them. Ehh... what can we do?
TehHank:
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.

I'd say it did make it less popular, though the temp server was quite popular. (But it was never like the regular server where we had to wait to join sometimes.) It was still pretty popular when the servers came back.
The last 7ish months when summer came is when it started to die. Which is weird because summer is when people have time, so you think it woulda brought more people. I don't know what made people stop coming. Maybe it's partly what Samo said. The servers crash randomly sometimes, and even if we want to get back on, we can't because they don't come back for a good while.

Hmm, well just food for thought.
I have had this same discussion with people for the past 7 going on 8 years now hosting garry's mod gamemodes amongst other games and mods.
You guys remember about a month ago when I put all the work into getting fretta and a bunch of cool stuff working for the servers? We had full servers for quite some time when it was the "rnd is dying" phase people were claiming to be in.
What i'm trying to say is, you could claim rNd is "dying" but isn't that just how you want to feel about it?
To be honest, even during these usually busy times we get a full fretta server during times in the week, which is pretty substantial. What's more interesting is every single person I have seen claiming the death of the community wasn't playing with all the new people. Even during this huge reduction in servers we still have new players joining which is pretty awesome!
While I don't always have time to devote like I did in those few weeks, who knows what will turn the corner - you may hear people claiming for the 2nd... 3rd.. 4th... idk now "rise" of rNd.
rNd as a community will always be with me in my mind, it's had a substantial impact on my life, and by rNd I mean everyone that's a part of it, everyone in this thread, everyone i talk to on steam, the conversations and happenings on ts3, random nonsense in the servers. If anyone was to claim rNd based soley on popularity I think that they probably haven't thought into it as much as they believe xD
Either way, none of this offends me as most of you know and I always appreciate thoughtful criticism.
Like always, just have fun, it's the reason I set up this place anyway xD
P.S. Sorry I haven't been on teamspeak or been available for much lately, I am lost for time right now!

If league of legends wasn't so addicting, I'd be on Gmod.
