I thought it was a good idea to bring FL down for a while to get people to get that itch to play FL again, rather than it be constantly up and dead, but a year is a stupid amount of time. It has gone too far now, to the point that people have finally survived the withdrawal they may have had for FL, and are now ready to move on from FL as a whole. I always thought splitting it between 3 people was stupid in terms of ownership. I get the impression that none of you ever want to sell and that FL will die with you, but why? You want to own the server, only for it to close or die on your terms? If you really cared about the server you would give it to someone who would actively look after it at this point.
I genuinely don't care who owns it now, I'd rather have someone I dislike own it, than have it dead in the ground. If you kept the server up regardless of its failure, I wouldn't be saying what I am now - even if you weren't making updates for it and leaving it up. Unfortunately, it's gotten to a laughable point now. I like you all independently outside of FL, but please just give it up at this point, or give us something more than a 'pulse thread', which uses terminology the majority of us don't understand or won't even bother to read - As long as it's upfront with the player base.
It's the worst kept secret that nothing substantial has been done to resurrect the server over a long period of time for the last year. The constant need to be in a position of power for a GMod server is addictive and I understand, but just do what I did and let it go. I know I can't preach, as I wasn't the best owner ever, but it's sad to see FL in the state its currently in. Not everything I've said is aimed at each 'Manager' as a whole, there are bits that are aimed independently here and there and I can only imagine the aggravating it is to share a community. When I was in talks with Conn about transferring ownership it was suggested that I stay and it be split, but that was something I could not handle nor see as a good idea.
Who is left that would bring it back - like you said, almost everyone has moved on. A year with no server, almost no engagement, no real updates, is there anything to even take over now?
