+1 and there’s pros to this, but also cons
So with advertising using old clips like you’re saying that’s misleading, so you’d have to make or find newer clips and do that.
in regards to new clips I’m going to be 100% honest, the server in its current state will not be that appealing in game unless it’s something retarded or really cool, most people are not going to wanna see you RPing seriously because most people just want to have fun and fuck around and yeah yeah we’re an RP server, but for the most part no one gives two shits about SeriousRP. (Also cause a lot of people see RP games like this as cringy and shit)
in regards to having the founders control this, I’ve seen another server that I was staff on have a literal team for this type of stuff and they called it media team or some shit, but having a dedicated team for it would be better, getting an editor also shouldn’t really be a concern tbh cause it’s fuckin GMod you’re not going to make it look super clean regardless.
Doing this also will attract a lot of minges or people who wanna RP, but there’s two ways to go appeal to the People who wanna RP and show cool shit or appeal to the people who wanna minge and show retard moments, and of course you’re most likely to get more people with retard moments, but that’s also more short term members for the most part with the exception of a few people.
Also at the end of the day, there’s no guarantee you’ll have a lot of views or people joining through this, there’s millions of other post and the chances are still low and I would say try not just make it about the server, but try to appeal to people who like Star Wars in general, that itself will make people who have a pattern of liking Star Wars content see and ad for the server.
also forgot to add, to make the server and events look good and shit, GMs will also have to put in more effort into main server events or make really good deployments so there’s also that, not just simply about advertising, other parts have to be included and improved for this to work efficiently
