Is there any appeal to gmod anymore?

Scratch the earlier statement.

The documentation for g13 though is still EXTENSIVE compared to the older version.

Gmod13 can do wayyyy more than it used to. It's practically an easier version of Source SDK, but with more utility if you don't know C or how to make custom modules.

The only reason nobody bothered updating older gamemodes is because the original creators of them usually lost interest by the time 13 was out. I've ported so many scripts from older versions of gmod man, and it's literally as easy as finding out what an old depricated function was changed to and renaming it. Most of the time too, it's just one little hitch that stops the gamemode from loading. A clusterfuck of errors can usually be solved by patching one little hole.

Not really, other than to minge around in servers or to play TTT seriously every once a while.

I enjoyed old ZS and TTT while they were popular, but the way they were when they had their several comebacks were pretty heartbreaking; seeing how dead the servers were compared to 3-5 years ago.

There are no other servers with the charm and personality of RND, which is the main reason why I don't play GMOD anymore.

I'm still up to a game or two of L4D2 if you guys wanna play one day. Or some CSGO. It's been a while since I've talked/played with any of you guys.

Ironically. Gmod is more popular than it's ever really been really since it's constantly in the top 10. Often top 5.

Yeah, but there is also a huge oversaturation of severs now too. Part of the problem of why it's harder to get new members from when the servers were still up was because there were literally thousands of other servers to choose from. It also didn't help that the server crashed when we got people on there.

It really sucks that coolz shut down the servers. I know he did it for good reason, but I feel like a part of my late childhood was shut down as well.

Unless I ever find a GMOD community that's as great as RND; GMOD is a relic in the past for me.

Deathie:
Coolzie, would you be against me hosting a server under the RND name like I did when the servers went down the first time and I hosted a ZS?

That ZS 2.0 with my modified FA:S2 weapons sounded like a fun project to try out.
