First of all, there plenty of people still play (up to 30) at a time. Also about 1/5 of the active members are donors. Nearly everytime i log on there are between 1-6 donors. Also your ideas won’t draw people back to the server. Because when people quit they ussually don’t keep track of the server news anymore. I suggest people advertise the server more on websites like minecraftservers.org because on these websites even good but not very popular servers like this will show up at the top of the list of all servers on the website. Also on minecraftservers.org and other server finding websites if you donate to the website your server will get listed at the top of page and is listed in a special section. Many people don’t know about this server and i’m pretty sure that if people did know they would come to this server. It’s just my “2 cents”
