Alright. I'll get into this. I am about to say this, Tronald is right with needed other servers involvement. I can also help with this by being more advertising of DR/DarkRP on the PH server. You can't force others to play a game mode they don't like though it becomes a chore, and isn't enjoyable which often makes them resentful.
First: You need a dedicated non-toxic staff team that is willing to deal with all issues possible fairly. (Not saying the current bunch is toxic, but I really don't know you guys even though I am a trusted there myself.)
Second: You need a Mod+ that can be active throughout main traffic hours. The Mod+ must be at their best to be welcoming, inviting to the server, inviting the people to the discord, and talking them into introducing themselves on the forums. A main important thing to keep in mind is a lot about first impressions. If people are nice and welcoming they will want to come back and maybe even bring friends. This is very tedious, and will require a person to be very patient.
Third: Your "server babysitting" group needs to be more family friendly then troll-like while still amusing the users. Also at the same time understanding how others feel, knowing how to view the server in the eyes of brand new users. You will honestly have to give almost special treatment to new people, letting them base with you, helping them get guns and other things of their interests at least until it gets its own following/regular user-base. Staff must be VERY strict against any form of trolling/abuse etc and make sure all people follow the rules while being treated fairly. Otherwise non-toxic people who want to play and enjoy their time will leave. Do not build a toxic community otherwise it will tear itself apart.
As others have said, it will take much more then just an hour to keep the server going, and much more then just 5 people.
Keep in mind most people aren't dual staffing. They wouldn't have their staff ranks there. Unless you mean just have them there for their personalities. In that case that list could be a lot larger.
I agree with this, if we could get another server going, 3 is better then 2, and we can help the one dead server a lot better. The bigger the community following the better. If we pick up the server already headed there it would be a lot easier.
I highly doubt DarkRP will be deleted. This post kinda hit me, DarkRP is fine we literally just need a group willing to be active but as EpicGuy said people get burnt out. You can only play something so much before its not as enjoyable anymore.
