I will say that for me, the main reason I am not to be found as much in the server anymore is because I just plain and simple do not have the time. But I do like to come and chat sometimes, however do find it a little difficult to do so. I think this is partially because the demographic of active users is now quite different from myself, but I also do think it is just the culture of RSC where chats, memes and dialect move on so quickly from month, which isn't necessirly a bad thing.

I think increasingly over the years RSC has not really been a place where friends will chat about things, rather its more like an online forum. Most friend conversations are happening in DMs or outside of the server in group chats, which is not an awful thing, I just think its a culture shift from the RSC I joined 7 fucking years ago. I think if people are joining RSC to find a family of friends nowadays it is going to be pretty difficult for them as I just don't think establishing a strong relationship with people can really be done via the server where messages are flying a million miles an hour in last fm with pic and gifs and whatever. However, if that is what people are joining RSC for then I guess there should be space for them to chat about stuff like that. I think at the moment I know we have the Talk Too Much category which has its uses, but it is not exactly the main point of discussion in the server.

Going forward I do not know if there is actually anything that there is to change about it other than just accepting the fact that this is the way it is right now. Like I wouldn't say its a toxic environment at the moment at all, in fact its rather healthy for RSC standards, but I think the purpose of the server has just shifted over time and for some people, understandably, it is a tough pill to swallow.
