TLDR: Get rid of the rotten apples in the team, find new people for management and replace the current owner. That way the community would have more enthusiastic people in the team and hence a better shot at surviving.
I agree with people on this thread: player retention is a big problem on Fearless. When you can't keep new players on the server once they join, the server numbers will slowly dwindle as older players leave, which leaves you with an empty server. Quite a few people also mention problems such as ever-increasing content, not enough new updates, no events, etc. While I agree with these aid in the decrease of players on the server, I don't think this is where you should look to fix the current situation.
I believe the core of the problem is in the team - you as a team are only as strong as the weakest link you have. This has been a problem on Fearless for ages and every time it is fixed, history repeats itself. You have a few people who actively engage with the community, and you have people who yet have to comment on the current situation.
With this, I don't mean the Administrators, Developers, Contributors, and event managers but rather the management and the owner himself. You can't expect one or two people from management to single-handedly fix this community, they need the support of the whole management team and the OWNER.
The management team should be completely revamped, get rid of the rotten apples already, the same thing goes for the owner! If the management would consist of only enthusiastic people, then I believe the server could be brought back to its former glory. The server still has a huge potential, look at this thread as an example! You have a ton of players who probably don't play on the servers anymore, but this goes to show that you still have older players roaming the forums and potentially wanting to play on Fearless once again! In addition to this, you also have a huge amount of traffic going through the website every single day, you could easily use this to your advantage, the same thing goes for the steam group.
Nothing personal in the next section, a lot of the mentioned are great people!
Divey:
You told me that you would not let Soulripper down when he handed you this community, and you would do what you could to keep the community on its feet. How come you have just followed in Soulrippers path or even become worse than he was? You have not even engaged with any discussion on the forum in 2022 and we are 72 days into this year???

Conn:
You are not that active, but I know you actually want to fix Fearless but you've always been prevented from doing so. You ended up resigning from your position last time due to this, no clue why you returned as it seems like you are just as inactive as the people that caused your resignation.
You've not had any activity on the forums for 1½ months.
Edned:
You were one of the few people who were able to get to Divey when he became owner, you were a big part of why Fearless was thriving for some time, without you Fearless would have been dead within the first month. You are not that active anymore from what I can see, you have not posted on the forums since the start of February.
Joe Joe:
You had big visions when Divey became the owner, but like the rest of the team, you quickly realized it would be impossible due to a lack of communication from him. You ended up resigning and joining another community due to this.
It seems like you are in the same boat as Conn, you have now returned to the community and you have become one of the people you hated before, an inactive member of the management team.
You have not engaged with the community since you changed the staff punishment system unless you take vantiago incorporated posts into account.
Pollux:
You are the only person within the management who is actively engaging with the community, respect!
When you are the only active person, you are also the only person trying to make a change and will be the face of these changes, due to this you will also be the one receiving all the criticism from people.
The rest of the management team is nowhere to be seen, they are not the ones trying to change the community and hence they will not receive any criticism for their attempts, only their inactivity. Remember this when people criticize the things you do.
I see that you take criticism personally sometimes, take the criticism to you and use it to change, don't lash out at people!
Tomo:
You've been inactive forever, you are probably only in the management role because Divey is a friend of yours IRL. You should have resigned ages ago as you do nothing but pull the team motivation down. You have not engaged in the community since 13-06-2021, that is a whopping 273 days with no forum activity from you!
Just resign already and find a more enthusiastic replacement.
