The FW Dev, despite being warned, didn't know what he was getting into and ended up being overwhelmed by the amount of work required to provide a mod and server for this community. That, coupled with the refusal to delegate responsibility, lead to negligence of the important issues at hand. When additional staff were added, most of them were bordering on retardation.
Eventually, there was only one EU admin(me) and one NA admin(Honor) left who were active, which didn't last long because we weren't about to do this **** on our own. When all the staff had left, the players followed, except for the ones who were content with playing on a server without any form of management. When our peak had gone down to under 60, the Dev closed the server while muttering "ungrateful bastards".
Maybe that clears it up.
