    It's no surprise that GunZ has had a decreasing player count for the last couple years. This was inevitable and was expected. What's a surprise to me, however, is the community that's faded along with it. I come on here every couple weeks/months and I see that no one's sparking any discussions. The last thread in the debate section was posted a year ago. It's been an entire year since that section was last active.

    What made this server fun in the first place was the community and if that's gone, what's going to be left of this place? No one's encouraged to come back to a place where conversation doesn't happen.

    The main message that I'm trying to get across is intended for everyone, including the owners: If you're okay with eventually giving the server a final farewell then sure, I guess carry on proceeding the way things are going. If you want to preserve the longevity of the community, try to encourage conversation. Motivate people to want to come back to this website. If this game was the initial reason people came to this site, make them want to stay for something else. It's amazing that we have an active website in which hundreds of people visit each day, from all over the world. Recognise the fact that people are coming back for more than just the game and capitalize on that fact.

    I mean we are still having discussions / polls / debates but they're rather GunZ related and not posted in the Debate section. Plenty of them.

    I would agree that the amount of IRL / off topic / gunz-unrelated posts and discussions have decreased. I would like to see more of that again too.

    Forums in general are also dying because of Reddit/Facebook/Twitter and such.
    I've seen many popular forums turn into a ghost town, forums that were even more popular than Freestylersworld.
    It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready.
    I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything.
    There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now.
    And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.

    its just that theres nothing i would want to hear the opinions about from the freestylers that are currently active and also the fact that i cant make debates related to a person or a group of people so :/

    Reviving the old players is almost impossible.

    Its very sad indeed, for me I still have this website as a tab that automatically opens when i open my browser and I enjoy reading stuff on this forum, but I don't feel like posting as much as I used too cause of the inactivity
