Sad but true.

I noticed that on the bottom of the main page of the forums there is a place where all the IBIS servers are listed. I decided to check out the details on the pub and discovered something quite disturbing -- for the past 30 days the pub has not had more than 15 players on at one time! From being in top 200 our server has fallen down to... past 2000. I am not writing this in order to search for a reason for the decay (the reasons are probably numerous... from the fact that the masses prefer easier, more streamlined and designed for medicority, modes of play -- such as gungame and zombie; to dual's diligent attempt to screw with everybody on the server at its most fragile point -- just take a look at the maps he has played and the weapons he has used ). What I would like to see is a decision from all the members of this community -- is anybody going to be playing on the fucking pub, or are we done with it? The efforts of one person to revive the server are futile, so it is a task in which either everybody or nobody participates. I am not going to join anymore until I see some desire in the members of this community to turn the fate of the pub around.

Well the other day I was just about to play until you left. I am willing to play but its like a contagious disease. It remains to stay empty until someone sacrifices to remain idol in the pub until people enter.

Maybe we can all call a time on meeting at the pub and hopefully everyone will join. I know this may sound stupid but I think more slots is needed too. Also i have seen other mods in other pubs that attract players to the server.

I am actually all for the idea of setting a time when we can fill up the server. If nothing else at least we can get a taste of what fun playing there used to be! And please explain what the mods are, Zero has been very open to new suggestions (thank you, Zero).

You also have to keep in mind that it is both football season and the end of the semester for college kids. I haven't had any free time whatsoever between projects and finals. I'm not going to be playin much when i'm not leaving school until 3 am. I'm sure a lot of other people are in the same boat. I think it'll turn around after the holidays...

But I'm up for setting a time and all that shit

Hodgie please keep in mind that I have played on this server for years (from before it switched from 32 to 21 ppl) and have not seen it so empty, ever, despite what season it was.
