There aren't too many games which are crazy popular that have a community server function. A couple games that come to mind are: Battlebit Remastered, Deadside, Project Zomboid, Ark, Gmod, and New World. Sponsoring would be a great idea, but the issue with that is we don't really have the money to be able to do that type of stuff. And we aren't really an e-sports league. Catering servers to children is exactly what we need to do, but there are a small amount of games nowadays that have Community Server functions. CSGO is the best to KEEP, as it's still one of the biggest most played games, and the community servers throughout CSGO are (fairly) easy to use. CS1.6 or source is where this server started, I don't see a reason for the servers to leave Counter Strike in general.

me, myself, and i i want to see the community come back, if no one is going to take the initiative to make a post like this to gainer attention, only god knows what will happen

Its been said, but it isn't a common occurrence anymore. It was for a time, its gone down. Thats subjective to your own opinion. I think seeding is a great foundation to starting the servers back up. Added with this, communication. But since you said you wouldn't read this I understand why you think thats the only thing thats valid... also before telling me to "find god" please go read some scriptures off of Psalms and relax. D : why.. happy i wont forget what happened in that bathroom.

Okay this is the most talked about topic on the forums, that much is obvious. But instead of talking about the issue, lets solve it! What are some ways that I think we could attempt to revive our community? Look no further! As the answer lies What can seeding do? Well, as we are descendants of monkeys, Monkey see, Monkey do. If CA+ were to say "LETS HOP ON [SERVER NAME] AND HAVE SOME FUN!" Monkey see, Monkey do. People will see the population arising and feel inclined to join their favorite game mode! Fun enticing events that people will surely go to! Whether that be JB, Scrims, Retakes, or even our SURF SERVER?!?! Either way, events will catch peoples attention and most certainly drag them in! What is the next JB update going to be? When is the next TTT map going to be added? Is KZ ever coming back?!?!?! We dont know, and thats an issue. There isn't much for us to expect, if we aren't told anything. I think this should take the #1 spot but thats up to debate. Communication is important. But I guess if nothing is being done, then whats the need to communicate nothing? Fair enough. Even if you want something to be a surprise, maybe give us a teaser? An update on the (insert whatever) or if its really good and you'll KNOW it works, then keep it a secret. But things like, "Yes we are planning-" or "Yes we are working on something to improve QOL-" or something, thats better than a random update. Although communication has gotten better, giving us a weeks in advance about something happening which is good. But more doesn't hurt. Community Meetings! Lets get input from the community... AND we can tell you what the next server update will be! Community Meetings are fairly rare, and I get why, imagine a community meeting once every month to tell you nothing.. that would suck. But bimonthly Community Meetings when there IS something to add lets do it! Or even if you're running dry on ideas, maybe gather some of the communities suggestions and see how those will affect the servers, if they are worth adding or not. The structure of CMs are fine, but maybe let's gather everyones input and individually talk to them about it, or make a post a week after (or longer) showing what progress you've made with some of the suggestions, what went in the trash, and what are undecided. Last but not least! (Mind you I dont expect everything here to be added in, that goes for everything in the post. But as I like to say: A suggestion is a suggestion.) Honestly we already do this so I can't comment upon this. This issue or more internal than it is external.. So uh keep going Marketing! Don't let Mace kick your asses too hard Welp this is the end of this post.. You made it! These are just some things I think can maybe help! Hopefully the admins feel motivated now to help our community and well.

Electric dont look so bad right now... Dude do you want us to die or something??

can this mfer just go away oh my god

Its a great game honestly, if you're saying that based off of graphics than :/, but it genuinely is a great multiplayer zombie survival game.

Hey! This is just a suggestion I wanted to make for some time now and I think it'd be a nice addition to the servers, as it would be fun for friends to play together and have factions with each other, fight each other, (idk if it'd work well but idk) etc. Project Zomboid is a post-apocalyptic, top down view, where you can go through either the start of a zombie outbreak, (called Initial Infection) apocalypse, (not fighting is best advised) or even other settings thats improve on your settings. There are traits in the game that make you either very strong or incredibly weak, and you're the person who dictates that. Persay you were to have these positive perks like "Bravery" (Less often panicked) "Cat Eyes" (See a bit better at night) "Fast Learner" (Read Books/Gain XP a bit faster) and "Healing" (+1 Healing) you have to add negative traits so you're not OP, so like "Smoker" (Smoking cigarettes will make you happier, or you become depressed) "Asthma" (Lungs weak) and "Agoraphobic" (More panicked when outside) to counter it. Stuff like this honestly add a really cool mechanic to the game. The general story of the game is "This is how you died" and you're playing the game up until you die. Everything thats in the game comes naturally and its actually quite impressive how it happens. If you go in a house that sadly has ADT prevention and the alarm goes off, zombies around the area/neighborhood will hear that and start to swarm your house, fighting more than 2 zombies is difficult in an of itself so its best to leave, running through them=death. Every building in the game can be entered, and the game overall is very immersive. I think if we started a server it would gain some sort of population from their own respective fans, plus some folk at SG who play it who might love a multiplayer experience. Although the game is $19.99USD (about $22.79CAD) I think it'd be a great addition as a server!

I suggest Project Zomboid! It's a fun realistic zombie game which is incredibly difficult and rewarding. If you love TWD you'll love this game as you'll find yourself in many of the situations the people in TWD suffer/go through. How zombies act, how they can hear you, making huge hordes and what not, its $19.99USD but I think its worth it!

What job is it? That sounds like ass.

I know this is a weird post, but who cares? I just wanted to know: Do you guys have facial hair or not? And would you prefer to have it. Personally I love my beard and mustache, it fits me and I look like a baby without it- what do y'all think?

WAIT ACTUALLY? YES can we keep this permanent tho

thank you

typo Also because I just don't want to? I'm not going to express my political beliefs just because I don't want to say anything that isn't true or opinionated, that's all.

I don't want to entirely voice my opinion on the situation at hand, but Russia ahas finally taken it upon themselves to attack Ukraine, and so far its looking pretty bad. Social Media of course isn't taking it seriously at all, as expected; and I'm guilty of that too but the situation at hand is really sad and upsetting.

dude fr idk what significance that marilyn manson brings to the stage other than looking creepy + his allegations. fivio is just an untalented artist who grew outta nowhere, he doesn't know much about performing also that sound engineer ruined it for me

So if you spent 200$ to listen to DONDA 2... good for you, if not well its out! Its a step up from DONDA and JIK, personally I really enjoyed it. Him starting off the Live Event with XXXTENTACION with the song "True Love" and another feature from the long awaited, "Selfish" were honestly a huge but welcome surprise. Thank god Ye removed French Montana.. really didn't wanna see him. (Concert Starts at 2:42:50)

I literally rarely get on, and the times I do just move around.. God I don't think I've ever actually talked to you before yet you're so certain you know who I am? God you really are edgy. I quite literally did /stuck twice and he killed me, but sure? good job hopping on his dick- why do you take it so personally? there's an "admin complaint" and "player complaint" section for a reason, for people to use it; and that was like 2 months ago, grow up and stop holding pointless grudges? maybe stay on tiktok or humble yourself.

From what I see, you just want to punish people playing a game they way they want to for your own satisfaction. Yes, we know the servers are dying for one or more reasons, and maybe the player base itself is to blame- but what can admins do about that? The second someone gets banned for not being liked, they will most likely leave to find another server that doesn't ban them from playing the game correctly. Sure, annoying CTs can be annoying, but if that's the way they want to play let them do it? There isn't an issue with it, and if it ever does become an issue, someone could always talk on behalf of the community to maybe see some change. On the aspects of TTT, the gamemode honestly hasn't changed much, and that's not a bad thing; but whats the point of hopping back on the server after doing the same shit day in day out? It gets boring and people have other things that can entertain them a lot better. If you truthfully want change, as delirium said, be the one to move that change. I also find it ironic how you talk about skirting rules and complaining about micspam or RDM... when that is exactly what you do? If you want something to change, and you think you know how to change it, do it. This is like semi close to when I was talking about TTT dying earlier on, and everyone was saying, "Well if you want the server to populate, go seed it." When that was exactly what me and someone else did to yet no avail. Even though I took some wrong approaches and bad choices of words in some posts, I still time and time again tried to push TTT to an extent where it would at-least be playable. Whether or not that be suggesting an event, items, changes, whatever. Also you talking about admins or higher-ups banning whoever they want whenever they want- sure, yeah technically they could do that, at the cost of being the reason a community dies. You should go do the same rather than shitting on an already dying community. A lot of what you're saying doesn't really make much sense to me other than saying, "Hey admins- lets just ban like 10 annoying people for a month and see if maybe the servers will populate ey?" - We should certainly expand our servers to other games to grow a wider audience, that might condense itself to the CSGO servers. I wanted to suggest this for so long, but I never did on the fact that the games I did want to suggest have really small communities that are really and loyal, but the numbers aren't high enough for SG standards (I think).. The state of servers management and additions are honestly really good right now, but there isn't much that we could do to push a community to come back. Maybe another dedi switch but there is literally no point in that other than wasting resources- etc. The end this, atleast the way I think is best to populate the servers is to give them time and regulation. Let admins help the community, and let the community help admins. If that happens, maybe people will want to hop on at 4:00 after school and talk to some of their friends through one of the SG servers.
