Title of Suggestion: Change Server Open Days

Description
Change the server from only being open Thursday to Sunday

Why?
I get you don't want it up 7 days a week but Thursday to Sunday is not great at all it would be better with Monday, Tuesday down the rest up so it still has some off time. Makes no sense for the majority of mid week to be absolutely nothing does not mean you have to create loads of little extra events just gives the server a better chance of gaining some population back.

Why play FL when it is nearly down the same amount its up. No initiative at all when the only playing time is the weekend especially when not everyone wants to spend their weekend sitting in playing Garry`s mod midweek is a great time for it to be open, Instead it is just rotting.

So something like up 5 days down 2 days sounds more better or reasonable rather than the Up 4 and down 3

Right now my opinion on this is +/- Support,

Reason is the timing of this suggestion is quite late, Maybe it would be better for Jan, because right now this suggestion cannot be applied on Dec due to the staff are already planning for Dec Events on this same schedule.

Now, if we remove the previous factor i would say, and this may sound selfish a bit, But the suggested schedule fits me more, and it might fit others too, but at the same time The weekends is a good option aswell.

You have approached the suggestion with a good argument, that people wouldn't like to spend their weekends on Garry's mod behind a screen, but also due to life being harsh as fuck, Weekdays for people who are employed will be a bit much too.

Overall, for the sake of FL return and if we look at Garry's mod statistics, during Weekdays 23rd of Nov 2024 to 2nd of Dec 2024, the peak amount of player reached 35K+ at 24 of November, which is a Sunday in most countries (If not all) a weekend day, but after that it starts going down during weekdays and increases again in weekends.

So i say for the sake of increasing FL popularity, To keep the server on during weekends, But maybe for the sake of the current community keep it working during weekdays, That is why i cannot decide..

Weekend Should very much stay but what i am saying is for the server to be up For 4 days then down for 3? why for the whole week is there no incentive to play why wait from Monday to Thursday to play, Same with employment week days the same argument it would be nice to come home or finish work and be able to log on I get the server still needs down time for whatever reasons but I think up 4 days down 3 days an extra day up like Maybe a Wednesday or a Tuesday would be ideal.

I dont think the timing is too late, It is Christmas people go off work/school for the Christmas break not all but certainly quite a lot.

Our intention behind reducing the amount of open days is to focus on quality over quantity, especially with the server population being lower than required for a typical FL experience. We will also be open 24/7 for a full week later this month to test different opening formats, which will influence our January schedule.

Suggestion must've been approved cause instead of adding a day, we lost another day
