Title: We have reached 30,000 members!
Post by: TOMASAS on November 25, 2012, 11:04:05 AM
If you haven't noticed already, we've reached 30,000 members! This is a really huge step for a community only focused on one game, Garry's Mod.

We would like to thank everyone who plays and supports Catalyst Gaming!

Thanks to our amazing administration team for all the help with taking care of problems and servers, and keeping rulebreaking to a minimum!

Thanks to the great development team we have for making this possible. Without them, we wouldn't have gotten where we are today.

And a big thanks to everybody who supported Catalyst Gaming with donations. Without these donations, we would have never been able to run for this long.


Celebrating we've reached 30,000 members, we have rewarded all current members 250 CG credits.

Thank you for sticking with us. We hope to double this number in the future!

This is outstanding! Just a month or two ago we were at 24,000 members, and we grew 6,000 since then. Great job everyone!

Damn we've grown a lot. I remember joining 2-3 years ago and minging around on city. Sadly a lot of the people I started playing with fucked off to other communities or dissappeared off the face of the Earth.

Just two thousand more and we've doubled PE's members when it died.
Then, lets kick in another 4 thousand after that (36k) to double OC, k?
:)

Great job so far. Loving it.

This is pretty amazing. You don't really realize until its mentioned, but 30,000 members on one community, for just one single game, is quite a lot.

Yes yes, these are not all active, but its still 30,000 players that has visited our website once or twice.

Comparing with other communities who have this system for registration, this is a HUGE goal.

And with the 250 free credits, i can imagine that within the next 24 hours, 60% of CG will have a forum title :)

You should've given all the people who registered before 2012 gold.

Because you were registered before 2012? No.

Yeah this is an amazing achievement, with CG being quite big now I would recommend branching out into other Source games like CSS, CS:GO, TF2. Servers on those with CG being really popular on Gmod atm could provide us with even more members and donations to keep us running.

The crowd you see here is about 30,000 people just so people can really grasp how big 30k accually is.

I will guesstimate and say around 15,000 are inactive and around 10,000 are just people signing up for ban appeals.

Nobody would sign up just to make a ban appeal considering you're forced to register before you can start playing.

What you're implying is people would actually register to make a ban appeal before they've actually played on any of the servers.

Well shit, I remember a lot of people saying crap like " This community is going to be dead soon."

I'm glad I've been here even though I'm not as active as I used to be.

Here's to 30,000 more!!!

That actually would be pretty nice to see. A TF2 Trade server maybe? They are quite populated.  Never the less it's great to see this amount of members at CG.

I'd love to see a TF2 trade server, maybe with a VIP/Gold system to bring in donations, I hardly see many trade servers and they're always very populated

Trolling HL2RP used to be fun back in the day...

Think about the alt accounts dammit there might still be under 30k of players still, because there can be alt accounts.

They can only be alt accounts if they have another steam account with garry's mod bought, and have joined any of the servers.

 Wow, that's wonderful! Glad to see the server build up in just two years of my service playing! I haven't moved onto other servers yet, this community still remains my home!

Congratulations, this is a very big achievement for the community. I can remember when there was only a few hundred of us so the community has come a long way. It has to be thanks to the people that keep donating and the people that keep the servers running, and mostly a thanks to RoflWaffle for making the community.

Well done CG you are a truly great community I think one of the best in Garry's Mod. The quality of staff is always good and that is great when you have such popular servers. Raise a glass to another 30,000.

Not to ruin your 30 0000 people but only about 2% if that still play if you guys want to regain your population i would make some changes.
