If I had to share my personal reason to why I eventually lose motivation to join the server, it's because: It's just the same over and over. I feel like playing inside a "hamster wheel". There is nothing new and the biggest spice the server can come up with is changing round time and removing heavy tanks from El Alamein. You could say I would like just a bit of "new content" to "stay modern" :-)

Dunno how much the headadmins can do or if there is some consensus between admins it can be changed, but the server needs something "new" or different. Maybe we can try El Alamein CQ? Add some maps from the mappacks (Nuenen, Kasserine)? Or make some type of event on the main server?

Do you really think it is different at Moongamers? I think they are even harder with chat abuse and insults. And why is it mostly the same guys receiving bans there too?  It's mostly the same small group of known guys. The only difference there is they plead guilty because they know there is zero tolerance.

You are right but there's a difference, moongamers has been PG since their inception whereas simple hasn't. On this basis I say certain things need to go back the way they used to because they worked just fine. It was only after nameless left that I believe certain things got out of a line like banning people for slightest of things. I never like nameless personally because he would run away like a girl from a dogfight but as a head admin you have to give it to him because he handled things professionally and not out of emotion or stupidity.
You could tell this guy to go f*ck his mother and he still wouldn't ban you. he would rather look at your case objectively and see if there's actually some material damage you are causing to the server and then punish you accordingly if at all. I see some admin nowadays behaving like a woke civil right activist in the server kicking and banning people for the slightest racist or sexist thing said. Worse is that said admin doesn't even follow his own rules; he provokes, taunts and laughs at players and when they strike back at him he hides behind his admin. Pretty sure that wouldn't fly when nameless was around. Also how long have you been playing this game Ferd? your forum account says registered in 2021. Do you know how it was back then? do you also know that tuia (the owner) is a heavy duty antisemite that he even had hitler and stalin quotes built into the server few years ago? i hardly doubt he would stand for kicking people in the server for saying the n word of making fun of the jews, or worse deleting or editing comments in the forum.

@Alfred dude don't act like you care about the server when your whole Argentinian crew (SELF, darcano, cachi, etc) that plays every single night telling others peoples locations through voice chat does way more damage to the server than 50 trolls put together if you ask me.

All of of that aside, whatever happened to 000? was he banned? i never liked him but i think he was a good add to the server, made it more challenging. Well i also don't know the reason for his ban so i can't say much.

I called it before, if you guys keep banning people for frivolous stuff then they are gonna move to another server and thats whats happening now. It's not so much that people are leaving this old game, thats naturally the main factor but whats taking place at the moment is server mismanagement. Reason? just look at the swing in population between simple and moongamers the past 6 months, that thing never occured in the past 5 years or so for what i can recall. The closest thing to it was aX closing down and then its playerbase moving to different servers but thats a different story, simple and moongamers have always been running. Also don't assume im here to try to disrupt anything, its just slight frustration at the direction the server has taken since the previous head admin left. And yes (i said it before), cheaters, tkers, are rightly to be banned and always been so dont try to make it sound i don't agree with this. the only thing where i voice opposition is in players getting banned for slight chat banter because you have to look at the realities here: there is at most 100 active players at the moment and a ban at this point in the game is unaffordable unless with due cause (cheaters, tkers) and not because someone made a george floyd joke. besides, i never witnessed this in the previous administration, so thats where im coming from plus i also really believe thats what made the game more engaging. Oh and about aX, that server was without admin since 2016-2017, you are very wrong if you think it died because of lack of admins or trolls, actually ironically ax was founded on no admins and trolls lol. i was there when it died, and one of the main reasons it happened is because the auto admin that managed base attackers, team killers, taxi to plane, etc and their respective auto kicks and bans got disabled because the server was under constant attack and restarts. after that it became a jungle with no order and people stopped joining. i also heard people got caught in mass ban waves and couldn't connect to the server but i dont know if thats true.

I like this post.  It shows how moongamers gives mercy, and ferd gives perma bans...brilliant contrast thanks ferd
Some new account with a name I have never seen before comes to the Simple forum to say that the server will be empty. No, it won't be empty. The covid-era is done (we saw a grow in our population in those years), there are server crashes and it's spring outside. Furthermore, it's a game released years and years ago, people move on after a certain amount of time.
Those who have been removed from the game permanently deserved it and it was not a big amount of players. Do you really think the majority of people leave because people get kicked or banned because of chat bullshit and insults? It's always the same small group of people doing this. Like Paul said, we will be fine

Do you really think it is different at Moongamers? I think they are even harder with chat abuse and insults. And why is it mostly the same guys receiving bans there too?  It's mostly the same small group of known guys. The only difference there is they plead guilty because they know there is zero tolerance. Some great examples @ Moongamers:

Enjoy both Simple and Moongamers and be thankful to those who keep it alive, both admin-teams and players.
