If you say so. I accept your opinion.
Now, that said, what needs to happen to PROVE to the community that things are actually in hand? Simply saying it, isn't good enough & it never will be...you guys need to evolve.
Spazz, you state that it ain't worth it to make the sever donations public...why is that? does it cost extra money to show it? plus, why is it that we no longer have the functionality to search the forums unless signed in? does that cost extra money as well?
if so, say so...if not, why? You guys came up with a reason for it. What benefit does it present?
from the outside, I can tell you these things are a major fault overall
there's many more questions, but let's go w/ these for now.

There's enough cash to last a lifetime. Which leads to the state of saying - no point in keeping it up if there is more than enough.
To easily put it, there is just no need to put up a donation button if we already have the needed resources to fund the server. Having a donation button has the added mental impression that unless the community chips in, the server may be taken down for some reason. It is a bad thing to have and, considering financially we are set fully, it was removed.
Searching while not logged in was removed due to a security flaw in one of the recent MyBB updates, ones that we could not fix at present. It is a function many forums do not give to non-logged-in-members, so that was a feature that was left unenabled. If you wish to search the forums without logging in, use the " site:discoverygc.com "SUBJECT" " search method via google.
In any case, this is nothing else but a bait thread. Posted by a retired staff member who has nothing better to do than to ask complicated questions nobody cares for and nobody has asked for. You posess no characters on our server and have not been active in the discovery environment to any degree that would prompt you and excuse to come to us brandishing a pitchfork and demanding answers which you yourself do not even care for as they do not impact you in any sense of the word and have not done so for years.
Before locking this thread, I will answer your question again.
The best way to fix issues with staff is to stop behaving in a way where staff is constantly have to be visible. Staff members are, in a perfect community, tinkering behind the scenes to kick the server whenever it goes down or to implement/fix features. We would gladly do that if we weren't cleaning up the constant state of drama and kindergarten that is constantly going on under the underlying crust of the community.
In the end of it all, Discovery is running regardless of what state the staff is in. The lights are kept on and this is good enough of a state for what remainder of the community is left. They want a stable server they can play in, and this is what they currently have. Do not pretend you are special and you need otherwise.
