It's virtually impossible to get one suggestion added, we're at a stand still nobody wants to get us out of. Honestly, open dev apps, maybe someone in this community is somewhat decent at java and will code us a simple plugin. Hmmm maybe they don't seem like they're experienced enough, well give them a chance and let optical look over it, honestly... open your minds to change, people (mostly directed to the admins).

This.
I have found that a common reason for people leaving is people rage quitting because their mod app didn't get accepted.
Hasan (Tabooti):
I see things a different, surely change is something that could potentially be something good. But what kind?
So far we've had a lot of changes on this server, largely ones that prevent exploitation (although late) such as the reduction of melon prices after their exploitation, the banning of redstone clocks that have damages server performance. Other changes that have come to this server could be largely awarded [mostly] to the community, with people organizing bright new independent ideas that rely on voluntary participation such as the seasonal events, or private competitions. However, the underlining issue is the fact that activity stagnates, becomes dull, and people lose interest. I'll leave the upcoming paragraphs with some points that I've made. Feel free to think of anything you'd like to add.
I encourage you to debate these points, and provide examples to support your statements. I'll add everything into this paragraph, so we could organize our thoughts, and put up a conclusion we could agree upon.
paragraph 1 - good
-Spoiler plugin
-Financial exploitation reduction
-Free protection granted to large creations
paragraph 2 - bad changes
-excessive mods that change the style of play
-changes that would lose the existing 'customer base'
-reckless choosing of mods, despite public favoritism
-consequences of not changing
paragraph 3 - potentially good changes
-Trade-driven economy
-Simulation of conquest/victory (Perhaps optional non-destructive war, that results in a monetary victory. Ex- losers pay winners x amount of money + loot from deaths)
-Roleplay
Conclusion.

Okay, Im just going to lay out my thoughts. I, honestly, have phases. Some days I love Opti, others Im bored out of my mind. One of the reasons I left Opti before is because the boredom was more prominent. Right now I absolutely love opti and its community. But... What about others? As the normal process of time, we WILL gradually lose players. And at our surrent rate we are losing more than gaining. Obviously, we are doing something wrong. We need to explore our opportunities or even make something new and original that could attract more players.

Which I prefer more than generic social media site.

But this is a game, not an intentional 'social' thing. Of course there is a community, but at the end of the day, we're all playing a game.

Cause it used to be a game, but there's been nothing new for so long people really only go on the server to chat with other people. At least that's the way I see it. Might not be. iunno

Yes you make a good point. There are some suggestions that get added, but it only seems to be "important" people that make them.
