Not everyone reads everything. Especially not if it's a block of text or angry replies.

I like your Idea. This way the Staff have the most important facts about why Discovery and how to make it more attractive to newcommers. As a newcommer I did a review of how I found things while playing and why I think RP is a huge problem at the moment. I am open for any discussion and personal questions about what I think as newcommer. Discord Ghazriel#0555

Answered your survey but I will probably post the answers somewhere else too for later reference. The same questions are asked again and again, the same answers are given again and again, and every single time it's pointless to even have bothered to try and help, always for the same reason.
If there is "one most important actionable and over-arching reason" for disco's activity problem, it's staff's (or more generally, those who's goal it is to be a "higher up" in the community) chronic inability to even have a halfway honest conversation about a single one of the multiple problems disco faces.
Every attempt always ends up going around in the same never ending circle of memes, empty rhetoric, logical fallacies, and threats that those who try to "fit in well with the staff" usually spew, mostly aimed at establishing or keeping some kind of junior-highschool pecking order that certain kinds of people still seem to be obsessed with even as alleged adults.
If you really want to start addressing problems effectively, first thing you'll have to do is at least try and snap out of that.

Pretty much. Disco has far too much ego embedded in it that needs stripped away. Bitter vet syndrome is the thing that really drove me away this last time; the complacency to immerse yourself in a cycle you do not like because "that's just how things are and it won't change" and the ego ensuring that it won't.
