Gmod communities timeline visualized

[Hudson]

I took the start/end dates from the archived communities and threw them on MSPaint with their number of servers being a very rough indication of how popular they were. It was a fun idea, but obviously the result could be improved. I decided to leave it as it was, because I could probably adjust it all day and it would still end up looking very inaccurate.

Still, I wanted to share it, and if you think any of it is inaccurate or is missing a community then let me know (and ideally note what timeframe and size the missing community had). I probably won't bother editing it, but the replies still help guide the archive.

Blue castle wasn't a thing in 2016 I don't think

Monolith was a thing in late 2016, though I don't think they had much going on until v early 2017

Relentless would be good to add. First/second prototype hl2rp 2009-2012 and easily as popular as TnB (they were our main competitor)

[ruben slikk]

missing a LOT of communities (im thinking the 900000 fallout communities, that popped up one after another, novabox, visualitygaming (2010-2014 i think...) and probably sooo many more.

also catalyst gaming should be bigger... shit was hella big back then

There's a small 'timeline' of this one HL2RP CW server that I helped back in 2017, spent around £100 to support them.

It went from Origins Gaming, to Providence. I had a lot of fun fucking about on that server, and the self-made event using an exploited toolgun system that they never bothered to fix (until, obviously, i exploited it) and that I had told them about months prior. I got banned, tried to go to Providence, got a ban quick af there and after several months got an unban.

I never go on Providence anymore, far too many changes and the core fun of Origins was lost ages ago.
If anyone ever went on either of those servers, I was Mr. Bones.

Damn, almost forgot about them
shit

 

[Raiden]

God bless Relentless - it really set a precedent for HL2RP for me

@MaXenzie

remember when everyone on the server got banned because someone typed wallhack in OOC, and the anti-hack thought that everyone had loaded a hack into the server

good fucking times
[doublepost=1549790622][/doublepost]also the fact the Ninjadude did shit like this

tnb was most popular between 07-09 since the hl2rp server was always full during gamer times
since 12 all there servers are always going empty
