Death of PassiveRP?

I highly doubt our perspectives differ because of timezones - As FL staff I can not imagine you see the full extent of what's happening on the server. You, and I am sure other Administrators too, make these kinds of observations when you are on the server (which to be fair, does not happen often - there are hardly any Admins apart from Dan & Caesar who at least appear to still give a shit about the actual server), but for users, it is very different. It's almost worrying that the forum courthouse is so unused by now because when I did play actively, it was just a terrible experience plagued with people bending/breaking rules and not properly roleplaying. 

It should really not be a surprise to you or the rest of FL staff that I and many other formerly active members of this community quit for good. Nobody really seems to care about the server anymore and what's left of it is basically just a glorified DarkRP (at least that's what the gameplay feels like).

Two points I want to address in what you said:

1. Having little to no player reports isn't a sign in community decline at all. There is no correlation there whatsoever. It seems these days that the preferred method of discussion is on Discord which is why the forum looks a tad bare these days.
   
2. You identify yourself as a "former active member who quit for good" and yet you're on the forum actively complaining about something you stated you formerly played, so how is your contribution to this discussion anything more than just flame when you were last in-game on the 13th of January, nearly three months ago?
   

Passive RP isn't dead. I have personaly found reason to give out four roleplay points today in non-peak period times. What I see is newer players finding their feet and needing older, more experienced players to guide them just that little bit more to help them build a solid understanding of roleplay, something you could assist with.

I will admit that the player count could be better. As I previously stated, this is an annual reoccurance and it has happened for many years due to exams and other real-life commitments. To assist with this issue, I have reached out to many people who have indicated they are interested in making a return to Fearless. Vauld, who created this thread, has since explained he has had a positive experience on the server since his bad experience.

If you want role-play to improve, perhaps gather some friends and start some.
