I remember when I joined a year or two ago, it was so much fun. While there were rulebreakers, all Gmod servers have rulebreakers and that's unavoidable by nature. It was just very friendly, and I had some great experiences.
I came back a few days ago after probably 6 months of being gone, and the server went from a nice, enjoyable experience to being full of DarkRP type players.
I mean, I haven't been on that much since I came back, but yeah it definitely has changed.
