honestly curious at this point, and I'm sure a bunch of other people are so I will address the elephant in the room.
What would be the main chain of events that would happen for SG to shut down?
What's stopping you from shutting down?
Let's keep everything honest here.
You have multiple AO staff members that just sit around in their rank and do not do anything, you don't have motivation to bring up CS2 servers, you have 1 active server out of what used to be what, 10 active servers?
Feels like almost any form of joking around now that results in making fun of another person would just get you banned for "Unwanted behavior"
It doesn't seem to me that there is an active tech team at this point, as theres not much for them to do.
Here is a list of the current staff members evaluation in my own perspective. Obviously, this is my own perspective and opinion. Do not take this as me coming at your throat or you as a person.
Caution: Shows up around issues of drama, not much else as he has a full time job doing not really sure what, I think deployment or so?
Dominic: Afk with school, his current usage of VP is doing the rare community discussion of talking about how things are.
Zero Two: Plays on GMOD TTT and that's kind of about it.
Karma: Shows up around issues of drama, occasionally works on GMOD TTT stuff.
-
AOs: Jazzy currently keeping the community alive along with Elfbarf with TTT and things like that, don't really know if huja is also managing or helping out with things like that.
Everyone else: Should be demoted and I mean quite literally if I was in caution's shoes I would demote these people instantly. None of them have done any contribution towards SG that has been noticed in any way.
Lynxie was brought on board for TTT, there are no CS TTT servers and should be demoted.
ThatTamer was brought on board also for TTT or ZE, there are no CS TTT or ZE servers and should be demoted.
Roddy: Should be demoted, has not done anything.
Triou honestly have no idea where he has been, I don't know if he's on GMOD TTT but if he is helping out in that department then good job for him, but you do not need anymore people on GMOD TTT, as you already have 5 of the current BDs + AOs working on it.
As for the tech team they know I love them, and they are the backbone of the servers. As stated previously I do not think that they have done much as there isn't much do to in the CS2 department.
For rebranding, you don't need to rebrand at all, as I personally feel like if you rebrand you will lose everything you currently have.
