So it's safe to say that due to numerous factors, interest in the server has gone down. Holidays, other up-coming servers, or just disinterest in the server itself, people have decided to spend their time elsewhere.
Theres a few options we can take. Either we do nothing, hope that possibly after the holidays, or once interest in other servers die down, people will come back. We could swap RP themes, deciding which one would be a separate discussion. Or we could just shut down, it's happened before here at OSRP. This current iteration is it's second. The forums would stay up, and perhaps in a years time, I might revive it for another go.
Poll is up, I encourage discussion about the topic, however I ask that we not discuss any possible RP themes, or reasons for our server flat-lining. Both of those topics will get their own threads if it's required.

I will return as soon as I know that someone else is on the server, and I'd be alright with changing themes. However, I would be quite sad to see OSRP go for another year.

Servers come, servers go. I'm glad that I was able to successfully bring back OSRP a second time. I'm also surprised the server stayed as active as it did, for as long as it did. Most small servers often go dark after a month, well we went two.

swapping RP is a foolproof way to generate interest and keep shit new. honestly, i personally believe one of the main issues stem from the fact that we have no antagonist / conflict to drive RP. specifically, a bad guy faction that is actively making shit happen. events require dedication and time to be made so that they're not complete dog-ass in all regards. a bad guy faction ran by players and not a singular player is preferred. currently we have the legion, but a guy with a spear and bolt action can only do so much to ten guys sitting around with shooty sticks.
