Honestly, You've had one time encounters with all the founders. I have had multiple conversations with all of them(Except for @Square, who you forgot existed in your list and has also put in countless hours in the DEV side of the server).
Let me go down your AIDS list,
First off
Ron; He barely gets on the CWRP server, yes when he does he sometimes minges, however most of the time when hes on he enforces strict RP, attempts to get the server active with events, or even rebuilds the commons area so it doesnt look fucking barren. Something that ATM is of course barren once again. I hated Ron over on IFN because the dude overstepped his fucking boundarys however over here he mostly lays low and does shit from the background. The dude has revamped the website so many times. Has revamped the shop. Has kept up with TS suggestions and helped to improve the TS management. Has properly gotten a team together to manage the forums so that Toxic posts aren't as prevalent as they were back when Synergy first opened. The dude has helped with so many technical aspects out of G-Mod to the point that he really is the Technical guru of our community.
Joah; Joah often minges or fucks around on the server, however more often then not he will host big events or do activities on the server in which keeps the server very entertained. "He shouldnt minge around on the server BLAH BLAH BLAH" Hell nah. If he was a head-admin I would feel this way. You know why? B/c Head-admins are more of the "Face of the community" The higher ups you should be seeing the most are Head-admins, so head admins will be the ones that set the reputation for the server. Owners/Founders act more like minges b/c they do all the behind doors shit IE Developing the server so ofc they dont want to fucking be 100% serious. Not only that if you ask the player base more than half will say that its pretty entertaining when founders Joah/Zim/Etc minge around on the server and just do random shit for the player base. As long as they arent Mass Rdming or encouraging rule breaks, I really dont give a shit what they do as often more than not It makes my time on the server more enjoyable.
Jackson & Square; Since you dont really talk to Jackson and you completely left out square, both dudes are the ones doing major development ATM on the server(From what Ive heard). Jackson and Square test all new suggestions quite a bit, as the final phase of suggestions(Again from what ive heard) is founders testing it then it goes through Approval of Joah. Both dudes have put a shit ton of development into the server.
Zim; You basically already said it, dude is like the big papi of server development and when he touches a project more likely then not it gets done, and he basically goes beyond what was suggested and puts his own ideas into it that helps to amplify the suggestion.
Community; Ngl I some what agree the community has turned toxic. I remember when channels were open more. Now every battalion has become a cult that likes themselves in their channel and doesnt communicate with other battalions. OOC toxicity? More often then not you have staff such as myself or Head admins who when we see flaming in OOC we will warn people to STFU if not they will get muted. We have server rules describing OOC toxicity, so if you feel someone is being toxic in OOC, make a ticket. It will get handled. Let me ask you when you see someone flaming in OOC what do you do? Nothing you just watch from the sidelines. Most of the community just watch two members flame each other without intervening which is honestly disgusting.(Also some of you may mention im toxic in TTT, and yea thats true, cause I fucking like to banter when its a gamemode primarily about killing other people)
Servers;
"Stop making servers"
Ok first off, more often then not each founder is handling their own server. But almost Always they all have there attention still on CWRP with atleast 2 still being tasked with the CWRP server.
MRP? Server died pepega
SCPRP? Servers development got halted basically and full attention went back to CWRP
Rust? Shut the fuck up. You dont play the rust server. None of the players their are even from CWRP basically. The Rust server is all based from pure Rust players. Shit ive even gone into the profiles of some of them and some of them dont even own GMOD. OH NO HOW DARE RON MAKE A RUST SERVER. HE SHOULD PUT HIS ATTENTION BACK TO THE..... ? Oh YEAH THE FORUMS/TS/SHOP , OH WAIT HE ALREADY DOES THAT. PEPEGA
Ark? Only two of the like 5 founders are focusing on ARK, however from what ive heard its basically mostly Korm and Square handling the Ark's development now. (So once again, its not all the founders. Almost as if each founder is doing their own thing will some still focus on CWRP).
TTT; on god Zim really hasnt had to do much for TTT, he took alot of files from the old TTT server and alot of the TTT development is very easy, as TTT is a gamemode you can just slap together.
So with that all being said, honestly I prefer not having all the founders working on the CWRP server, want to know why? Have you ever tried to do a project where 5+ people have their hands in the fucking pot? Its aids, everyone is always stepping over each other. Having one or two primary members focusing on the project makes it go alot smoother without having to worry about what other members are doing on the project.
"Make rules set in stone" Lmfao the Directors just did a whole new rule list that was in need of revamping due to new stuff in the server. They had 5+ members of the community look for loop holes/etc in the rules doc.
"Price for perma weapons are insane" Almost as if so that its not too pay too win. Almost so that if you buy a perma weapon you have a slight advantage but you are not a one man army. Lmfao. Not only that they upped the credits on NPC kills, which honestly the amount of credits from killing NPCS is insane.
"21st Losing their trooper job" I havent really heard much about this topic so I can not say.
"CG getting fucked" Im not even going to discuss this, almost half of the server is tired of yalls bitching about how yall got fucked when its just things such as Handcuff's or Weapon Checkers/Strippers. What is this really gonna do for yall? We already Bind people or pat them down. This will change it from RP to actuality. Yes it will make it a little immersive, but its not enough to the point where you can say "CG are getting fucked". Null Got their special weapons taken away. We are now basically a Battalions Marksman class or Heavy class/etc. Do you hear us bitching? No. Plenty of battalions have gotten fucked yet for some reason we dont bitch as loud as CG.
"Fixing vehicles" Honestly I dont know if anyone in the Dev Team or founders really have worked on assets such as vehicles. Zim is a modeler basically from what I remember. However I do know they are working to implement new vehicles onto Event server that have Corresponding AI to them. If you want vechiles fixed, suggest a solution or atleast give a developer that can help to fix the solution. Random:"ME WANT FIX NOW" Intel:"Ok how? Do you know anyone that could possibly fix the problem?" Random: "ME WANT FIX NOW!"
"Jobs not having weapons, GM not getting Westars" First off 21st should not all have Westaars, at some point the server decided that all of GM used westars however if you look at any movie, or episode,etc. You see their primary weapon of use was the DC-15A. Yes the primary users of the Westar were ARC and GM however a fraction of the GM used westars. The GM basically use a few marines using westars to justify all marines getting westars. This is why I believe galactic marines should instead suggestion a specialized trooper job to get the westars.
"Thire not getting weapons" Oh hey look another bug that I didnt find on the Bug report page. PEPEGA
"Z6 Being trash" For 154 bullets you get that max RPM. The only reason the z6 feels bad is because it hits like a fucking BB gun, BUT HEY LOOK SOMEONE ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH THE RIGHT ROUTE AND SUGGESTED IT GET BUFFED. OH LOOK AT THAT ITS DOING VERY WELL IN SUGGESTIONS. WHO WOULD OF THOUGHT.
"DC-15S is trash" Wow, you really dont know how weapons work. You probably are the same type of person to attempt to cross map people with a shotgun. Think of it like this the DC-15S is a SMG where the DC-15A is a rifle. In close quarters the S is better want to know why? Hold C on the gun. Look at that it does 75 DMG per shot. It basically destroys anyone in close quarters but sucks at further than like 30+ meters.
"Map rotations" I mean the current maps we were going to rotate to "Endor and extensive" are fucked. But hey look some nice venator suggestions have been made (AND PROPERLY TESTED OMG). Maybe we can make a suggestion to have those in the rotations instead.
"Money could go to a new server box" I mean if youve been paying attention at all to what the founders have been saying(Which you dont. You just nod your head cause you dont care about the technical talk). Clay(Mods) Was working to do a custom server box however complications came about. So they had to order a prebuilt server box, in which is having to be tested. If you use anything without properly testing it, please do not go into the IT field.
"Keep your word, dont do stuff 2 months later" I mean if you pay attention, most of the things that get put off for 2 months is due to complications. IE server box or lightsabers. Lightsabers update was put off for so long because King david's support team is fucking aids and a shitty team that basically acts like indian Tech support. Im sorry to say it, but its kind of like the real world. Shit happens. Complications arise.
"Server is dying" I saved your first statement for last. Gmod itself is dying. Its a dying game. Ive been here on Gmod since 2012 with 8100+ hours clocked in it. These last few months have been the worst for gamemodes such as SWRP, because the most recent Gmod Update fucked up garrys mod quite significantly and has caused more crashes then normal. I will bet most of you have just quit the server saying "Im tired of this crashing fuck the server" without doing research. I have gone into the Gmod official community and have made constant posts to help relieve these crashes, but then again yall dont go out of your way to find your own fixes, you just think its the server. Welp nope its the game itself. Its a 16 year old game running on a 16 year old engine. The game is destined to be shitting itself by now.
Also PS; if you want stuff to be put into the server faster. ACTUALLY TEST YOUR SUGGESTIONS, RUN YOUR SUGGESTION BY MULTIPLE PEOPLE, LOOK FOR SPECIFIC VALUES/NUMBERS THAT MAY HELP THE DEV TEAM. You know how hard it is to take someones suggestion going "ADD THIS" then having to test it, then having to balance it to make sure the server doesnt shit itself. If you actually calculate and work out possibly values to your suggestion. Or possibly bugs to your map. It makes it so much easier to develop or work on.
