How did this server get into this state?

I've been wondering what happened between 2015 to now. I have left this community and jumped back at random times never finding the same appeal as before as my friends have moved on.
So those who were still active here when I left in 2018 what really happened to this server to cause it being this low on players?

 

Interest & Time.

People lose interest quickly these days; pretty much sums it up.

 

because the former staff like @hmj and @Bruhtrash
and @ThiccTurtles are toxic

 

hmm... let me see...

• People growing up to realize being (staff) on a dying minecraft community is utterly useless and a waste of personal time
• The owners have progressively stopped caring about the server and just letting it die. The main focus of the server now is the little profit that's being generated from it. It was kind of a red flag when they announced they were offering players to pay for unmutes and unbans...
• There are literally no (competent) staff left (bet this will be removed because the staff get offended and think I'm "targeting" them when really it's just the utter truth)
• No updates are being made, which kind of ties back to the second point of just letting the server die. Literally, saying "it will just die again" is like saying you don't want to work because eventually you're gonna be fired, or you don't want to drink because you're just gonna get thirsty again. Like what kind of mindset is that?? If it fails then it fails, you never know if you don't fucking try
• Did I also mention the tremendous amounts of desperation for staff to monitor the 85 people still playing on Skyblock and Factions

you probably gonna say "StOp beInG tOxIc pRoGTrAsh!11" but this is literally the brutal truth. the server is dead and i witnessed it die first hand. if you're a staff member and you actually take being a moderator on a server is less than 100 players on a weekend seriously, you need to go outside. get a job, get a girlfriend, do something with your life and get off minecraft. at this point,

i'm not even trying to be toxic, so don't get your panties in a wad, i just want people to understand just a FEW of the reasons behind why this server is now the way it is

 

HOLY SHIT

HOLY SHIT PROG TRASH STOP BEING TOXIC

 

fuck omg my bad T3T UwU

 

Oh, Alright thanks. It's just sad to see one of the best moments of my life just laying on the ground gasping for air. I gotta still thank this server for making me learn english and improve my grammar, tons of friends made over the years and stuff. Hearing this I am not suprised if it will close down soon.

 

you know you guys updated factions not to long ago right? factions and skyblock are what is keeping this server barely alive. i wouldn't say that updates are being made only on games that have a small player base, it's just all the servers have no players or just die again eventually

and with the rest of your points, you're not wrong at all, i actually agree with them. they literally refuse to update the server and that plays a huge role in why it's dying so fast

 

come on are we really that bad lmao

 

Oh mighty former staff member you possess great knowledge
teach me your ways

 

you wanna know my ways? i resigned and now i'm getting good grades and i stopped caring about a dead minecraft server!!

 

Me seeing Prog roast what Prog at one point valued dearly

karwa, i love u, but... really?

the reasons have been expressed fuckign COUNTLESS times. we don't need these threads. we KNOW already and we HAVE KNOWN for a time i'm willing to call years.

 

Hubbo, I've not played here last time I was here it had 1-2k people. I don't play on the server but use the forums

 

what if I'm still staff and still doing good in life?

 

You're one in a million! CONGRATULATIONS!
