I've been feeling that GarnetGaming as a DarkRP server has been getting stale and unmoving in terms of "the meta," in fact I'm putting together my own suggestion on how to shake things up. I think that Bizzy's suggestions as outlined are great and would go a long way in promoting player interaction with both the server and each other - let's face it, if most of your time on a game is spent watching Youtube in 20 minute segments, you're not playing a game.
Khajiit rates this a definite +1.
