I'm pretty sure a decent chunk of remaining players, especially older ones, only stick around for the content plugins like pyrofishing/mining/slimefun. If those were to go I think you'll see a dip in players.

Then clearly we won't do that, but... Tell us what you think would help. Our playerbase kinda dipped a lot now and we need to be appealing to newer players too, so maybe give feedback from that perspective too?

I'd suggest promoting these plugins(pyromining, pyrofishing, etc) and possibly try to make it easier for players to get into those plugins, since most of the players that stick around tend to have one of these plugins as their main activity that makes them wanna come on and play.

This is definitely accurate, I always tend to come back every few months or so, and when I do, it's because of the plugins like pyrofishing, pyromining etc.
If these plugins would get removed, I probably wouldn't come back since there's not that much to do other than to play around with those plugins.

Another important note is that if players notice that their money that they donate don't even go towards helping and expanding the community, they might choose to just keep it for themselves since it's obviously not supporting the server as stated. This would just do more harm than good in this case since (I assume) the cash flow from the server isn't that great due to its size.

"A good point, but as a Patreon myself, I have no issue if the money I send to the server is given to charity. Also donating to a charity as a gaming community could also bring benefits to the server itself. Would be good PR and also helps give people who support the feel good of helping out people who are in need."

I'm not sure what kind of good PR you're looking for because donating 50$ to a charity won't give us jack shit lol, that's just the truth, it's not a noticeable amount for anyone to pick up on it tbh. It's just not worth while for the server in any aspect, since such a low amount amongst the masses wont give us any attention if that's what they are looking for.

Well it's not really "his" money and if the donated money is advertised as support for the server and then someone finds out that it is used for something else, that is technically fraud ... so there's that.

I'm not sure if this is some sort of late April fools joke but whatever
The players supporting SFT(including myself) are donating and/or paying the monthly subscription on Patreon to *support the server* and not support a charity. If the players who support SFT and also have some extra money, they can personally support those charities but this is not a choice that you or the owners should make for those players. Also, it's kind of deceiving to have the money go somewhere else when nothing like that has been stated in the past as well.

"Become a Premium User by purchasing any of our items, and help us cover **our** costs"
"Your purchases will go towards paying the server bills and server upgrades or unforseen expenses."

What was the "potato issue"?

Woohoo! 

I'd personally play on a CSGO or Prison server if we had one. Prisons is actually quite fun and I honestly think it would be a good addition. (I know we weren't supposed to add any more MC servers, but it seemed like a lot of other players also enjoy prisons including myself.)

For a CS server what exactly did you have in mind?  And prison will most likely return at some point this year, it just takes time to update/change everything.

I think either regular "competetive" 5v5 or a retake server would be the options.
