Hey everybody, I figured I owed y'all an announcement. First off, I know I said the server would reboot this fall, but I will tell you straight up front that that's not happening.
Long story short, after the shutdown of Avocado I found another TTT community that ran very similarly to us and and enjoyed my time there until I moved on to other things. Unexpectedly, that server is still up and running today and I'm currently a staff member on it. As much as I'd enjoy rebooting the server and even looked forward to it, I'm not a fan of the idea of leaving behind a perfectly good community and even having to compete against it. I hate to share this news, especially for all of you that have been so awesome and have waited so patiently, but I hope you can understand.

If you want to check out this new community it's called Almost Vanilla Gaming TTT and this is the IP: 216.52.25.90:27025
It's a little different right now for Christmas, but it's a blast to play on and is definitely in need of more active players as of recent. Like I said, I'm a staff member on it. So I'm on pretty often and would be hyped to play with you guys! If you don't like it, then the owner is very open to suggestions. And if you do like it, you could definitely stick around (and possibly even join the staff team if you're into that)!

But thanks everyone! I really do appreciate all of you!

The TTT server will be shut down the 21st of April, 2018. After spending over $150 paying for the server month-by-month and purchasing more advanced addons to improve gameplay, it is sad to say the server will no longer exist.
Thanks to everybody who donated money to help with payments and such, but what we really needed was for players to donate their time instead. Over the past few months we have had an average player count of 3, none of which were staff or active members of Avocado Incorporated.
I started this server planning on getting a good playerbase and then recruiting staff to the point where I wouldn't have to play 24/7, as Garry's Mod is not exactly my favorite game. Once I thought this point was hit, it seemed to disappear the very next day. The server started going days and then weeks without players and about 90% of the staff team either vanished or had major computer malfunctions. I would attempt to revive the server (which could probably be done with a couple weeks of free-time), but I would rather not. The point is I would rather be playing other stuff while running the server on the side, but it looks like the server can't run without it being my main focus and use of gaming time.
I have been a Superadmin, Admin, and Moderator on over a dozen server chains within various games and this was my first attempt at being a full on owner, operator, and developer. Let me know what I could do to improve, what good or bad decisions I made, or just any constructive crititism/suggestions/feedback at all.
Some Plans for the Future: The TTT server may get a reboot this summer, I might make a DarkRP server instead and try that out for a while, or I may start a chain of servers in Team Fortress 2.
Thanks again for playing and donating. The server made it further than I ever thought it would, but not quite as far as I hoped it would. Feel free to leave this group or stay in it if you want. Like I said, there will be future events, and this will be the only place to find out.
Signing Out,

Player Models, Trails, and 1 section of Weapons have all been completed. I have activated Points Over Time so players can now earn and use points! You earn 84 points every 10 minutes, which is roughly 500 an hour.
The following things are being troubleshooted, tested, and researched currently and you can plan on having them added at some point in the near future (which could be anywhere from 1-8 weeks):
- Spawn-Equipped Weaons
- Permanent Weapons
- Hats
- Traitor/Detective Passes
- (Possibly) Crowbar Reskins

Please hop on and check out the pointshop. Feedback and criticism would be much appreciated so that I can adjust things accordingly to make the majority of players happy. And for everyone who is reading this, don't worry your previously earned points are not lost forever. I'll be fixing everyone's points on a player by player basis which will require you to be on the server at the same time as me.

I hope to see everyone back on the server! It hasn't been very populated recently and I'm probably at fault for that, but let's get the server back where it was!

After playing Mineshaft I see that it has become the new Terminal. I've seen a few others who agree that it isn't that great of a map, but I want more opinions. Should the map stay or should it go?

Good news! There is a lot currently in development. Unfortunately it all requires considerable amounts of time and testing, so it isn't quite in place yet. A few of these things are listed below and are planned to hopefully all be done relatively soon:

• - DarkRP Server
  This has been a goal from the beginning of Avocado Incorporated. The TTT community has grown enough that this expansion is very possible. Thanks to the awesome and overwhelming donations we have received, I no longer have to worry about paying for two servers.
  
• - Mapvote System
  A couple of these have already been tested, but one will eventually work. I figure a rotation is great, but why not let players choose their own destiny? I mean, let's face it. Some maps are just better than others and why should you have to play an okay map when you could be playing an awesome one?
  
• - Forums/Website
  We're booting up a forums type website that will replace the current website. The reasoning for this is basically that forums are much better for an online community and they are also more organized. A result of this will be public staff applications, suggestions, player reports, abuse reports, ban appeals, etc. It will be more accessible than our current website and I believe it is essential if we want our community to come together as a whole.
  
• - Pointshop Weapons
  This one was supposed to happen when playermodels, trails, and hats were added, but it ended up being more difficult than what it seemed. I'm also seeking opinions on this one. I've seen some communities prosper and I've seen some die because of this issue. The problem is the "Pay to Win" factor. I don't want to add weapons that give too much of an advantage to those who have enough credits to buy them because how does that invite new players? It basically comes down to three options: All normal weapons that you can just buy in the pointshop so you don't have to look around the map for them, normal and added weapons that are priced based on effectiveness, or no weapons at all.
  
  If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to comment.
