Fresh Start

[Anonymouslyanon]

Never.
Idk, after a month the admins ask the new players how much fun they had etc then they get combined to the regular server.

Suddenly, the new players are suddenly overtaken to see a sudden rush of "new" people that have 1k stats. . .
Also, the server isn't just pvp. There's regions that are being built, and removing every builder from each region for a month could be a problem.

[cabass]

not only for gym sakes but people like head builders and builders need to be able to join

and in agreement with anon i like it but it sounds like there would be some risks involved

[shishkabob97]

I think a simple solution to this is we need to have people vote more often... i mean just seeing POKEMON SERVER!!! will catch most peoples attention cause i mean who hasn't played pokemon or atleast knows what it is. I think that we should just try to get as many people as we can to vote for the sever and possibly some other advertisement type thingy

[Rigby]

Yes, because there was never an admin. Who's idea was to advertise the server, that the other admins never really helped with.
I wonder. If there was one.
Oh wait. Rigby over here yelled every admin meeting that we needed advertisement. But nope, no one listens to Rigby.

[Mariofighter3]

Rigby  Arceus  damn it no ones listens to me on this server either. So I feel your pain.

[Rigby]

Hey, I was an admin and they didn't listen.
That shit was stupid.

[1cec0ld]

Hey, I was an admin and they didn't listen.
That shit was stupid.

I wonder why we never listened...

[1cec0ld]

Wait. WAIT ITS COMING TO ME.

THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ONE MATCHES LATER, IN 6 DAYS??



 

THATS WHY WE NEVER LISTENED.


Fine Print: I couldn't find an efficient way to copy all 361 matches, but my regex counted them for me. The above was simply a sample from our current server.log, and does not represent our last MONTH OF NEW MEMBERS.

[Rigby]

Cool. People joined. People do that all the time.
Recall whenever I got the server to ~40 people on at the same time regularly for a few weeks?
Remember when I filled up the server on multiple occasions SINGLE HANDEDLY?
Seriously. I'm more relevant of an advertiser than you will EVER be.

How did you do it Rigby? Share your wisdom.

[1cec0ld]

Was it those times it was full of Avo spammers? Ah good times.



Or was it the wisdom of spending 300 dollars, and more, for 2 different months for advertizing on minestatus?

[Tenebrae]

They were probably wannabe Avo's...

[1cec0ld]

I agree, a real griefing team would do more than just NyanCat our chat, and spam 50 lines of "pokemon sucks" no doubt.
Doesn't remove the fact that they appeared. Nor the fact that we haven't seen anyone like them in months.

[Rigby]

Hey genius, what are you doing with the money now?
I almost ran us dry, then ran us up to $1K+
And actually I filled up the server with useful people. Unlike your futile attempts that ended up failing.
