I knew it was going to happen at some point... TnB opens a stalker 64 slot player server, and HGN's server is already empty for a week straight. Whilst TnB sits there with 61/64 players, 24/7. Why do all good things have to come to an end?

Because nobody does anything but sit and moan because it's dead.
Just because the server has been unpopulated for the last week or so, according to you, that doesn't mean it's dead. I've been this happen a bunch of times; people don't go on the server, someone posts about it and suddenly everyone rushes to the server again. It'll come back, just you see.

Will someone be so kind as to explain how this is
sooooo familiar?

Trolling aside,
It's been unpopulated for the last
several weeks. I've been watching. It's been lagging since FORP came back online on November 24th.
No, that doesn't mean FORP coming online led to SRP's downfall--because we don't have the same playerbase as SRP. Rather, all of the SRP players are hanging out in Crussasia because it's new and exciting. Crussaria spikes to over 30 players sometimes. That's because people are curious. Not because SRP is flat out dead.
Really now. As admin of a formerly dead server, take my advice when I say; Chill out. Provided your admins aren't complete blithering retards, or at least the blithering retards aren't ever around to ruin anything, you'll be fine. If, however, the admins are in fact blithering retards, I can't say there's much help I can offer.

Look at the list of donators for srp.
Compare it with FRP.
Just give it time and people will come back to srp and will happily roleplay like they did before (maybe it would help if admins would make some "big" event, or atleast some STTOs could be promoted, so they can actually make some events which are worth it.)
TnB is bigger than HGN and all their people are bored of playing shitty HL2 all day. I bet it dies down in a bit.
That being said Crussaria has gobbled up a lot of the former active/good SRP players. I don't intend to ever go back personally and I bet some of the others feel the same. Gear whoring and whining get old fast.

This. Every server goes inactive sometime, even if the server dosen't get a MASSIVE playercount ALL the time, even with a couple people on you can entertain yourself. Especially if they're in a faction with you... Speaking of which, Exile needs to fix S42 so Duty can get on...

That has been corrected for some time now, unless I'm managing to misread the server list, and the map display says something other than "srp_hgn_sector42_alpha_v1_7".
Oh, and to address the supposed 'issue' here as a whole; SRP isn't dead. It's gone through worse times, and it's recovered. There's little reason to believe it won't do so again.
I swear, didn't TnB have SRP at some point which for awhille was populated to the server max.
But it eventually died down when people got tired of playing ROOKIE when they wanted to be Strelok.
Don't worry folks new server comes up people always want to come and play,trust me it won't last, and if you want to play our SRP get on and invite some friends on.
IDEA: NEW FUCKING MAP ON TEH SERVER.
(IE: Darkdolina/The new one we "Can't use"
Both maps have been changed and the S42 has been fixed the server is not dead but people do need to start playing on it I would be on this weekend but I am on a course with the military this weeken and can't play however I do have the next 3 weeks off.
All SRP needs is an admin like Doomburger & Spades who are around most of the time and do shit.
Like events and stuff. On FoRP, it's a rare moment for me that I'm bored.

Even when stuff gets boring, Doom goes on his Tumbleweed char and starts rolling around you.
I may be wrong but usually Christmas break causes a lot of people to go on the servers.

Also the time between Christmas and New year could be a busy time on the server.

Would also get Spades to actually play SRP, and away from FORP....

Contrary to popular belief, I actually don't mind SRP. In fact it's a good place to go when I want to roleplay
without needing to be an admin at the same time. It is, shall we say, my vacation spot.
With that said however, there is a distinct lack of things to do, and a considerable lack of administrative overwatch even when I was visiting months ago.
SRP is not dead. It's just in the status of needing refurbishment. TnB has not effected our playercount in the slightest, no one from hgn to my knowledge has bothered playing there and tbh, i wouldn't bother if you have considered doing so. It's junk, they have weeaboo female models for stalkers and their community is full of retards. Essentially it's Dave's new money making scheme.
Why srp is reduced in playersize:
1. Crussaria\Fallout has claimed several players who got bored with srp.
2. The admin team has dramaticly been reduced to a few admins, some of which are inactive.
3. Players are generally bored with what's currently there, you cannot roleplay forever with the same stuff.
4. Christmas break, exams before it, people moving away for xmas etc.
What is happening to fix the server:
1. Weapon Edits\new weapons.
2. Possible svn change to allow easier content distribution.
3. Recruitment of new dedicated admins to fill the places left behind.
4. Possible few new updates to the script (Although i really don't feel motivated to do so anymore, there's not much more you can add.)
^ Basically the same fixes to SRP that FORP had. Although to be fair I think you guys are all set with weapons. It's fixing the weapon bugs that I'd consider a higher priority than just adding new weapons.
in b4 "YOU DON'T NEED WEAPONS TO ROLEPLAY STOP BEING A FAIL RPER BECAUSE ALL YOU WANT ARE WEAPONS" Different items add variety to roleplay, so don't even try to make this argument. The weapons could be exact clones of one-another in power, but they'd still be interesting to have. Bugs ruin the immersion and remind you you're only playing a game, which flat out ruins roleplaying. Make any sense guys?
Either way I'm pretty sure SRP will be just fine. You seem to know what needs to be polished.

10 players on dead server... Seems cool.
Server is SOOOO DEAD that it has 10 people on it.
