| Okay.
A.) Money: I would consider making small donations to the community, but I would like to see some more activity occur in Olden.
2.) Server Activity: Yeah, big issue. The server is day in and out empty. I'm not gonna sit here and blather on about my activity, but we all need to be on the server more. Admins should maybe work towards stuff for players to do, and whatever else is necessary. Paying for a server that's empty is pointless, but to not have it when needed is also a bad thing.
- Script: I obviously don't want to be a dick and trample all over the script and stuff, but my main gripe with it is the performance. It's pretty taxing, which is unfortunate considering it's got some solid features in it. The next step though, I don't know. I'm not a coder, so I couldn't somehow try to optimize it, but I can offer my opinion. Somehow it's gotta be optimized, or we need to try building off a different script or something.
End. Discussion time?

| Advertise, be it on facepunch or some other forum or community, advertise. Try and call people into the server on one day and put a thread about the community on the forum, if they like it, they stay. | |

We're not trying to expand, we're trying to get more active. | |

We're not trying to expand, we're trying to get more active. I would think with more people you could be more active. Anyway, a few new faces never hurt. Just look at mine | |

| New faces certainly don't hurt, but our own activity should be the first issue.
The chances of getting new people to hop onto our server are reduced if even it's current members don't show up on it. | |

| Then plan more events, or make threads suggesting people get on the server. If people posted more on the forums then I would think the activity would bleed into the server. I see regulars visiting the forums every day, if a thread about joining the server was left then maybe they'd be convinced. Just randomly telling the members on your friends list might work too. Brainstorming here. | |

| People post plenty for the numbers we have.
I'm not too fond of bombarding a forum with "GET ON SERVER PLZ", because of how annoying it gets. I think just making one thread when the server activity (or lack thereof) becomes a huge problem. Then it's a sorta red flag. I'm starting to work off of expectation this time around.
Also, I should see some admin discussion as well. I would dub the aforementioned issues as rather important. | |

| It's fairly inconvenient for us UKfags, the rest of the US playerbase get on at like 12pm on us, and that's not an option on weekdays.
Weekends and holidays are mostly our best options. | |

Thank you, took me a while to find them. Our server hosts is infinitely kind to us.
But, uh, yes, the fact that our playerbase is split between timezones is one of the major factors. If the community would like to work together and produce an RP timetable to see when we're all free at once, that would be helpful. | |

| Okay, so seven total. Unless if the people that are workin' around in Eshira don't touch Olden, then it's four.
And yeah...what did happen to Mack? | |

I may love the guy, but he was far from our leader. Also; He took a hiatus from the internet for the better. | |

| It just took me a moment to realize that we could try to focus on a timetable of sorts.
For me, I'm basically available when I'm not working or doing PT or Pool Functions for the Marines. PT for me is Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5-7 PM CST. Pool functions are every second Saturday from 8 AM to anywhere from 1-2 and sometimes even 3 PM CST.
Work, that's a bit of a different story. Currently I'm hardly working for whatever reason, but soon I will be picking up hours. It shouldn't be that big of a deal, because I may just be picking up really early hours anyways. | |
