On the topic of the community, yes, we used to be a lot larger. That was mostly back when the Avali mod was still in active development by Ryuu and Starbound was in its infancy. When Ryuu began to back off from Starbound is when the community started to really suffer, since the glue we were all connected by (the mod, lore discussion, and discussion in general) started to fall apart. Add on to that drama which ended in a few very high-profile members leaving and... Eh...
I think we had around 26 threads on the CF forums if you count the first Mod thread before the great Mod/Community thread split and the couple of unofficial community threads that were made in Ryuu's absence before eventually breaking off and making new official threads on our own. That was the high time of the community, really. Now we're like...
...Something. I don't even know. The Avali was what brought us together and now that subject itself is an afterthought at most, and our other interests are very varied and scattered. We did try to set up another Starbound server if I recall, and there was a very brief stint of Minecraft. The problem is the frequenting-community's shrunk so much that we can't get enough people at a time to even make server-running worthwhile. Game nights don't work either if everyone's in different timezones or not online.
And I have absolutely no idea how we can fix this, or if it's even possible.

AUGH! I forgot you were LPing things!! I'm so sorry my memory is terrible x.x
And I know the feeling with being disinterested with the RP... I'm trying to be active in the Semiserious but I just can't seem to stay interested...
and also there's the SECRET THING which may or may not actually exist are we ever gonna mention that assuming it is a real thing that will be mentioned or what

I don't really get feedback and seldomly have interest shown in my other pursuits (Let's Plays, ect), but that's probably my own faulting for not attempting to be more active.
