In my experience on Garry's Mod and other gaming servers, labelling the server as sort of a clan tag with brackets and whatnot like how it is in Ryan's post gives it a sort of "official" connotation. To me and I feel like for others too, it gives off a sense of "this is a conglomerate or an organized community", which would indicate an active forums and large playerbase to interact with (conglomerate would be more relevant for GFL's case on counter strike but yeah) , an attractive feature for those who might be looking for a new place to land or just checking out the different communities. Of course at the end of the day it is just a naming convention and it doesn't actually mean those things, but to many it means certain things about a server in how they name themselves.
I personally didn't think that "After hours" was meant literally but I was also aware of the context of the name when it was created, so I can see how a new player or someone who doesn't know why it's called After Hours might mistake the server for a post-midnight community similar in activity peaks as EU servers.
I wouldn't be against putting "vanilla" first because I do think people would read that and be more likely to join than if they read "After Hours" first and accidentally think it's a night server.
Idk maybe something like a modification of Ryan's naming convention:
"[AHG] Vanilla | 24/7 Minecraft Maps | afterhoursgaming.gg" <---- Include forum link so people actually know what the community is called from a glance without having to join or look up AHG. Also this way people can look at how we are as a community whilst downloading the maps or something.
Example for modded:
"[AHG] Modded/Semi-Vanilla | Pointshop & Perks | No Inventory | afterhoursgaming.gg" <--- Indicates no inventory but that we of course have custom content regardless. Don't need to have Modded & Semi-vanilla at the same time, either or works.
Oh yeah +1 i guess.
