I feel like this is kinda unnecessary. Never-mind the fact we have TeamSpeak which is slowly dying, but the various amount of GFL server-specific discords with their own voice channels and mini-communities and such, and the fact nobody uses the VCs anyway in the public discord, just kinda looks like there's too many ways to connect people vocally online. I mean, if it works, it works, but still.
Hey, Thank you for your feedback! Our goal with this is to more be able to bring outsiders in with games where we can't host servers ourselves. PUBG is a big example of this, as the game has exploded but servers are run by Bluehole. Obviously, games that are not popular can and will be removed to reduce clutter. To your comment on TS dying, that is exactly why I want to do this with Discord. It is really surpassing TS in a lot of ways and could be a huge avenue for us!
Thanks again for your fedback!

What's up everyone!
I want to really drive numbers of new people coming to GFL up, and I need your help! There's a couple of things you can do today to really help GFL out!
Our goal is to bring new people into our community, but we need to be flexible! Many newer games lack community server options unfortunately, but we can still provide a great experience to people through our discord! @Darkling Has been so kind to help me make more channels so we can support games like PUBG, Fortnite, and whatever may come moving forward!
How you can help us is really simple, I encourage all of you to join our discord (if we get a large number there can be cooler things we can do down the line with the Discord)
Firstly, I want your suggestions, tell me what you think the discord needs by PMing me @Joshawa.
Secondly, Join the Discord! Invite your friends, meet new people, you're bound to have a good game!
Upvote our post about the discord on Reddit!
We're aiming to make our Discord an exciting place for newcomers to feel welcomed into GFL.
We can drastically increase the size of our GFL family, if you could help us out by doing the things above and advertising us to your friends and those you play with online.
Thank you everyone for taking the time to read this, and I look forward to talking to you on the Discord!

I joined a ton of prop hunt servers, never read the rules, got banned from them, then I joined GFL. Met Eli and boxy and the rest of the gang and they grew on me. Later I went on to manage PH, leave GFL for medical reasons, and make my return, to bring GFL back to its former glory and beyond!

I would, however I don't have evidence. I just think he's a bad admin.
If you have a Nvidia GPU I suggest shadowplay to be able to passively record without using too many resources, in case you experience something you think is admin abuse moving forward. Otherwise maybe getting a witness to the events you state occurred.

For those of you that live in the United States, there is a drastic change being pushed by our legislature that could have devastating implications on the future of the internet. I'm talking about the FCC's push to destroy Net Neutrality.
In case you didn't know, Net Neutrality is a set of rules for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that prevent them from throttling / forcing users to pay for access to specific sites. For example, if Netflix wanted to make sure it didn't get throttled, it would have to pay ISPs like Comcast tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars just to make sure that its users could easily view their favorite videos.
It also has the capability for ISPs charge consumers for access to things like Facebook, Amazon, Youtube, Playing games online, etc. Think of it like the sports package on your TV subscription. You want ESPN, you pay $15 a month. They have the ability to do that for whatever website they want, if Net Neutrality is destroyed.
The Chairman of the FCC is going to be pushing to abolish this within a few days, and the only thing standing between him and destroying Net Neutrality is Congress. As a result of this Lobbyists have for the large Cable/ISP companies have been pushing congress to agree with its demolition, however with enough push at a local level, we can influence our congressmen and women to vote to keep existing Net Neutrality policies.
You can find out who your local legislators are by visiting this website and entering your Zip Code: https://whoismyrepresentative.com/ You can then email (or snail mail if you prefer) your support of Title 2 Net Neutrality.
If you would like to call your local congressional offices (I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU DO), please visit this website: https://www.battleforthenet.com/ All you have to do is enter your phone number, an automated machine will call you asking for your zip code, and it will automatically call any representatives that apply to your location. They will also provide a script for you to say (so you don't have to feel awkward) and when you're done with one, you can press * (star) to have them reconnect you to the next applicable representative.
Please, do not let corporations destroy our internet experience. Keep the Net Neutral. Thank you.

No, you didn't. But That's not important!
I'm back everyone, and since I know this place has changed a ton in my absence, allow me to update the youngins in the group.
My name's Joshawa, and it's been a while since I've seen GFL, but I've missed it and as such found myself here.
Now, for those of you who aren't familiar with me, well nice to meet you! I look forward to meeting you. For those of you who remember me, well you bet that I missed you.
I am the former server manager for Prop Hunt, which sadly died (AND THANKFULLY CAME BACK). I also brainstormed Purge and helped guide its creation. And by helped I mean told Roy who's significantly more capable what it needed and watched him do it. Finally I worked long and hard on a Star Wars RP server, however personal circumstances caused me to resign all my roles at GFL, as I would rather leave than watch that which I cared go to crap because of me.
"Okay, cool, that'd what you did then. But this is 2017, who tf are you?"
Well I go to school dual majoring in Information Security/Systems and I hope that I might be able to "make GFL great again." In all honesty I just missed being a part of my favorite gaming community.
PS. Roy said he would like this. I'm watching, Roy.
