Maybe the lack of active mods could have something to do with that some of those mods invited a trusted community member over to see their place and then later found out that they had been griefed and raided
They then got tired of all the childish attitude and that ppl on said server prefere to grief instead of being friendly. They then decided to leave and look for a friendlier server..
Could have something to do with it, but what do I know
And dont tell me griefing is allowed, cause I know that, but I doubt these griefers traveled 8000+ blocks across 2 oceans and just stumbled upon our little island..
