Our Minecraft servers are offline but we will keep this forum online for any community communication. Site permissions for posting could change at a later date but will remain online.
It's not a threat, and I'm not doing it to get attention. I legitimately don't feel like I belong here, and that the community is at a gradual downfall. You don't have to agree with whatever I'm saying.
Really this rumor of the "community dying" is just BS. Like with any gaming community, there will be some issues (and yes, there are issues we hear there as well). Based on our last few months, our in-game community has grown over 20-30% in size and active players. Sad to see that more active members think that but yet again seems most of these people have personal agendas. This month, we had to actually upgrade our largest network to handle the demand yet not sure why the forum community is thinking this place is dying (which is far, far from it). Sure a few people will come and go, but there will be plenty of others with the silent majority to continue playing here. Our peak today was 6,200 players and over 94,000 unique usernames logged into the network.
Our community seems to have bad luck hiring truthful and honest developers. Right now it's just Forairan and he is doing about 3 peoples job to get everything back online.
I understand that MCSG is technically growing, but I see that all of these well-known players leaving and never returning or getting banned without reason... it makes me feel like the community is dying.
Being well-known doesn't mean that when you leave, the community will follow you.
Yet a lot have still followed in their footsteps. I just don't know how to react to those threads, they make me feel all sad about it :c
You also need to remember that the forum community is a lot smaller than the in-game community. Yes, there are a lot of well-known members, but if they leave, a couple hundred people will just replace them.
This is the case with any community for gaming. They get bored, move on to new games or just stop playing period.
I honestly laugh when people were banned for no reason as no staff can temp or perm ban without a reason (the system will not even allow the command to be completed). We are one of the few communities who actually make an effort to patrol the servers yet we are the most criticized for our actions? Doesn't make any sense as most people state the grass isn't greener on the other side. Every ban has a reason and no one is banned without one. If they feel their ban is unjust, we have a 3 step appeal process where their bans can get reviewed by members of the Sr Staff, the Admin Staff or even me.
Honestly, this is a hopeless thing to post xD. You could say this a million times over and over.. but there are still TONS of people who are convinced that the community is "dying". This couldn't be any further from the truth and anyone who thinks it.. really has no idea what they are talking about lol. It is true that a lot of active members are leaving or forced to leave due to bans.. whether they are fair or unfair is irrelevant. Whether or not these people leave or not, they community will continue to grow and expand. We have learned this from past people who have left or have been banned fairly or not. Even when the great Bajan Canadian was banned, the community continued to grow and moved on without him. People may rage, a few may leave being upset, but it will never be enough to counter how much Mcsg grows on a daily basis. No ONE person is bigger than the community. Not Bajan, not me, not Gravey4rd. This community will grow whether these people are here or not. That is the sad reality.
. He has a TON of things to do now that he is the only one left. I can only imagine that.
Based on that statement it seems you just have your hopes on this place failing which saddens me as some people cannot really take factual information to heart. Your more than welcome to have your opinions and leave as you don't seem to not want anything positive here. However, somehow you stay active?
