Goodbye, old friend.
Many of you will say "ComputerCraft hasn't died, it just isn't as popular as it was before."
And that is true, which means it is, in fact, dead. Nobody plays on CC servers anymore, CC has become generic, nothing more than an optional mod for the billion random Tekkit-clone modpacks.
The community that has formed around it has dispersed and disappeared.
And I intend to change that, and thus, I am officially announcing my plan of action to resurrect CC, although it will only work if everyone still here cooperates.
Action #1: Eliminate "CC-only" or "Minimalist" servers. These do nothing but pander to a tiny fraction of the CC community, and often cause huge amounts of drama when people ask to add more mods. If you're concerned about hosting prices, I can guarantee that someone here would be willing to host it themselves for a small fee, or you can homehost on used enterprise-grade server hardware, which is surprisingly cheap to buy, maintain, and run.
.
Action #2: I M P R O V E O U R D O C U M E N T A T I O N. Seriously, I cannot stress this enough. If we want to allow new people to learn, we need to keep our documentation up-to-date.
Action #3: Develop a common set of mods for CC servers to allow for builds to be freely turned into schematics and used on multiple different servers.
Action #4: Bring new people in. I hope that by the end of 2020, we get one new forum post here per hour, minimum.
That is all, and I hope we can cooperate. See you all in the comments.

- Enigmatica 2
- FTB Revelation (a little dubious, as CC was only in the revamped version)
- FTB Ultimate Reloaded (definitely a tekkit clone, but by no means random)

TLDR: I don't necessarily disagree with anything in the OP, just trying to point that the existing work in continuing CC's development/legacy.

I prefer using CC as a highly-compact Redstone substitute, not a universal machine capable of doing everything. Switchcraft died for a reason.

So my point still holds, SwitchCraft died because it was a CC-and-peripherals-only server.
It stands as a monument to CC's dark age, when the playerbase was hopeful for a new, Krist-driven future, and then disappointed when that "future" arrived and butchered anybody who were neither a con artist nor the proud owner of a supercomputer.

Anyway, I think both this and why SC did or did not implode is rather by the bye and rather detracts from the main point of the OP. If people have concrete suggestions on how to make CC more accessible or popular, I would genuinely love to hear them. I'm trying to make some improvements, but I really don't have enough data on what things people get hung up on.
