^ For me, what kept me here at all was the clan system.
If it wasn't for that, I probably would have got around 30 hours and then gone off never to be seen again.
I know that for many, even though it may not be as drastic as that, clans (and groups of any kind) are a large contributing factor to a person's reason for playing - communities within communities allow friendships to be created and provide a secondary intensive to get on and contribute to the atmosphere of the server.
Unfortunately, over time, the possibility for clans to exist as a microcosm has lowered, and competition between clans, which is what makes all of the members work so hard, has ceased to exist. This is a large part due to a changing player base who don't really want to be part of those sort of things anymore.
As has been shown above, gmod player statistics are steady, but I feel that, as older community members get... older, they drop out and their places are failed to be filled by a younger generation who perhaps prefer something more casual like prophunt or TTT, and if they do play FL, they don't get too invested into it.
