(Music to read!!!!)
This is something I wanted to talk about for a few days, but I didn't think the issues would last this long.
So I thought it'd be a good time to talk about it, plus given the reasons that might suggest willard is going to no longer be with us.
Some of you may of noticed, a big drop in players. We would normally get around 40-60 players and on the weekends we'd get near max.
Now, we have only really gotten 15-25 players and thats just on the weekends now, and with the glitches and frequent crashes, its not dumb to assume willard may be passing.
And with the equionox ddos attacks that happened recently.
But I wanna hear your guys opinion, whether or not if people do think willard is fading, and could give any ideas on how we could fix that issue.

The server still manages to gain 40-60 players on weekends, and generally 30-40 in weekdays. It's just that the most populated times at the server is generally more towards NA times / Late times for EUs, so no I don't believe Willard is starting to fade out just yet.

Really this is a timezone thing and really depends on when you play as well it is more active at certain times than other times just like... any other gmod server. Generally evening-nighttime hours of the EU timezones is where you see the most activity and for the NA it would mainly be evening times like from 3PM onwards.
As you can see, the trend follows the patterns as it has done for the last few years now.
Server begins: Lots of players
Server runs for a few months: Player count drops overtime
Server does an event: Player count jumps upward
Server runs for longer and does what it did before, drop slightly
Server does an another event: Player count jumps upward
Server runs for long and does what it does before... drop slightly again
As you can tell from the above, spike of players during i17 start. And now dropping off again as per the routine.

In conclusion: Do more events with script rewards clearly
Also for the I17 most believe it to be ruined due to Keith hence why noone really plays

Only issue is the Uprising happened too fast and fizzled out beacuse CP's started it prematurely and ruined it, And then like right after the CCA Was replaced and things fell apart and got stagnant and boring
