I came across this page when I was searching for some vgui stuff in google.
Anyway, I've only played an hour or so of this server ages ago, but I met some pretty cool people and it had a fun atmosphere. I just thought I'd post this as I'm sure a lot of people have been on this server, and you may find this an interesting read.
What are your opinions on this server and it's shutting down?
[QUOTE]Hey everyone,
I know a lot of people will not want to hear this, but gmodtheater will not be appearing on gmod13.
Its been many long years but I think its time to let the project rest. I want to thank everyone for their support whether it was morally, suggestion wise, or financially.
Gmod theater started over 3 years ago as spare time project while I was in college. Over the years it has evolved and become quite large, nothing is really left of that original code base. After all this time I have honestly lost all interest in the project, there's not much more I can do, sure I can add more models and items but they don't really "add" to the gamemode.
The scripts of gmodtheater are very messy, as anyone that has looked at the clientsides knows, this is mostly due to me being very messy with it (especially the older parts. my excuse being I was less educated). Every time I look at the scripts it pains me to just fix things and not rewrite the entire gamemode.
I now work full time in the game industry as a Programmer, my job eats up a solid 8-10hrs a day leaving little for much else. (I also absolutely love my job so its hardly work)
I have a handful of side projects I slowly grind away on (none related to gmod or gmodtheater), and the idea of having to put what little time I have for them aside so I can fix a gamemode I can barely look at anymore is almost painful to consider.
All that said, I have little doubt gmodtheater alternatives will pop up for gmod13! I cant wait to see what someone else can put together and accomplish.
Thanks Everyone for your support.
=[QUESTIONS]=
"Will Gmod Theater ever come back?"
- I highly doubt it.
"Will you release the scripts? / Can I have the gamemode? / Can I use it as reference?"
- No.
"Is gmod theater not ready for g13?"
- Kinda irrelevant, but this was getting asked a lot so I may as well answer here. The scripts are mostly ready, there's a bunch of quality of life stuff and menus that are broken.
"Will the server still be up running another gamemode?"
- I have arranged to have the server running for the rest of October, afterwards I am no longer paying for it, so I cannot tell you what will become of it.
"What will happen to the website?"
- No idea as of yet.
Feel free to ask any other questions I will get to them as I can.[/QUOTE]
I think this is bad. Gmod theater was indeed a good server.
played there a couple of times, sad to see it go. But we can always start a new server :D
I've already had a theaterish gamemode up for a week or two on gmod13. I didn't play gmod theater before but from what I understand it's pretty much the same. It's called Multiplayer TV.
gmod theatre...wasn't that the server that was always infested with idiots and had bad videos playing 24/7 in every room
Also running my own Lobby server which has a few cinemas in it. Not quite as elaborate as GMTheatre or MPTV, but it serves the same purpose.
Seemed like a good idea but poorly executed whenever i've seen it. And boring
RIP gmod theater
i will miss the arguments 24/7 with furfags and MLP fags posting their stupid shit constantly.
i will miss the surgical videos being posted along with porn, gay porn, pony porn and garry newman porn.
RIP gmod theater
[i]"Life is but a Stopping Place
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord
Author Unknown[/i]
We will all now tap our F2 keys constantly to skip our memory of this great loss.
RIP gmod theater.

I played it a while way back in the day when everything was poorly coded and the special rooms would just try to run a command on you to teleport you back to spawn, it was pretty cool back then.
Went into it about a year ago when it was "popular" and it was just a bunch of idiots circlejerking around really terrible Japanese videos and shit with pretty much everyone just trying to troll by making people sit through bad videos or something.
It comes a time when the prime of a community and server passes, it's really up to the owner if they wish to ride it all the way into the ground or if they want to just close up shop while it's still good and there's actually people still around to remember it.
I did the same, it's actually rather funny what comes out after you do something like this. You'd be surprised that pretty much everyone you ever trusted with anything from an admin position or a piece of information will eventually come out of the woodwork that they were not even worth conversing with.
THUMBS UP FOR RIP TMP

Its very sad to see this great and amazing community go, It was one of those communities which made GMOD what it is today.
However being optimistic when one door closes another opens. I wish all the admins and staff and players of this community the best of luck, and If i have learnt anything from garrysmod communities im pretty sure either a member or a member of staff will start a new community for GMOD 13. If it will be any good is another matter.
What I liked about this server is that you don't need to do anything in particular. Well, there were many pony fags and ear rapers, but other than that it was pretty funny. Atleast you could reserve a room, if I'm not mistaken.
Remember playing this I wasn't much of a fan because why watch the videos when you can watch them from youtube. But I guess people just wanted to chill with other people and just have a good time.
Everytime I was on everyone was being a fucktard towards eachother, but I still enjoyed it most of the time.
Dang! Now how will I watch porn with other strangers on the internet?!
Chatroulette.
GMod Theater is responsible for me becoming a brony:
[video=youtube;k_SQGBfMjTY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_SQGBfMjTY[/video]
Excuse the audio quality, the gain was too damn high.
This was recorded on 25 May 2011, the night after my high school graduation.
It was either ponies or watch 55 hours of Rick Roll that no one was skipping.
Granted I take flaming for being a brony, but I've found more friends & better people than I knew from anything else before.
Hello I Am The Owner Of This Server And I Would Like To Say That This Is Just A Rumor And The Server Is Staying Up

I doubt the owner would capitalize the first letter of every word.
RIP TMP and RIP Gmod Theater
Me and my friends are starting back up the "Gcinema" server for Gmod 13
[url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/GMCinema[/url]
Stay Tuned
(we also have recruited like half they're staff, and are building a bunch of hype for our server, I would personally consider our server the "Spiritual Succsessor" of Gmod Theater, but Nextek and Zimtower want Gmod Theater to "quietly die" despite all the good things that came from that server, I plan to have a small room showing the names of the staff or some other kind of memorial)
I'm not quitting. It would be nice however for them to turn HTML back on in GM12 so we could have a few final days in GMT.
HTML isn't "off", it's just broken
Each day that GM12 HTML is broken, this becomes more and more developed.

was filled with autistic furfags and ponyfags anyway, good concept but the playerbase was awful

noxiousnet multiplayer tv is better
[QUOTE=_Chewgum;38130898]noxiousnet multiplayer tv is better[/QUOTE]
Sorry, but the noxious net server is absolutely horrid. The map looks disgusting and the gamemode is really really basic.
No popcorn?
No theater.
I loved that server. Excuse me saying the word, but every time a pony video came on I remember the MASSIVE HOARD of popcorn throwing and rushing to the opposite theater.
Shit was fun man.
And that moment when your request came on... pure gold.
We may not be SOL afterall, I still retain the IP and have been successful so far at a replacement gamemode.
I remember this being like watching videos on youtube but with the disadvantage of other people.
No pros, Only cons.
