How can i make more people join my server?

[1406595]

I just made a server and its new. It has VAC turned off for no reason, i dont know how to fix this. I just think it takes time for people to comes in. Does anybody know a way for other people to join my server?

If you have problems with enabling VAC, be sure to add +ip 192.168.1.X -port 27015.
Replace the numbers with your own IP and Port.

I assume you don't have -insecure in your command line.

EDiT:
Test both the Internal IP and the External IP. I use my Internal IP.

If you have no idea how to get people onto your "GENERIC GAME" server then start with the players who are located close, show the current server list of "GENERIC GAME" find the servers that are around the same ping as yours, then find the most popular, and copy it. If you're feeling creative, try copying a highly ranked server.

Word for word if you must. Map for map if you will, and plugin for plugin if you can.
Some servers are popular for a reason, stats, mods, maps, custom classes etc...

You can copy/emulate what others have done to keep their servers populated or look to create your own.
Generally the main thing that keeps players coming back is a regular player base and non-dickhead admins.
These two things take a bit of time.
