There are recurrent threads on this forum about whether Minecraft is dying. Here's one from last summer, one from last month, one from last week, and a current one. But I'm noticing a pattern. The one from last summer had 85 posts, the one from last month 34, the one from last week 36, and the current one only has 10. This is a pretty big downtrend - certainly bigger than any downtrend in MC sales if there is any.
So, that raises the question of the post: Is "Is Minecraft Dying" Dying? Are people no longer dying to discuss Minecraft dying?
Or maybe it's just some particular people feeling blase about "Is Minecraft Dying" posts. They don't get that inspiring eyeroll anymore when they see a post about a game that currently sells tens of thousands of copies per week over a half dozen platforms "dying". But it's just them and in the future new posters will have the same risks of spraining their superior and lateral rectus ocular muscles.

The World of Silversun
The World of Silversun is a small whitelisted minecraft server with a strong medieval-fantasy theme. We specialize in building small villages and walled towns, castles on rocky outcrops overlooking the endless sea. Wizard towers and Dwarf Fortresses joined by winding lonely roads that meander through haunted mountains.
The server has been around since April of 2014. We kept our first map for 2.5 years. We recently started a 1.11 map, with the intention of keeping the map for at least the same amount of time. The map has been up for about 8 months now and we recently updated to 1.12, expanding the map in the process.
We enjoy group projects and working together. Our goal is to build a consistent, strongly themed world that we create as a group.
We use Grief Prevention , Chest Shop and Iconomy7. There is one server owner, one admin and three moderators.
Some of us have been playing together for years, we are a friendly and helpful group of Dungeons and Dragons survivors prone to naming things in Sindarin.
We do all this in Survival Mode with the server set on Hard.
If this sounds like something you might like to get involved in, apply below or on our enjin forums.
The Rules
This is our free time. Don't be unpleasant and build in theme. That is pretty much it, and if you need a long list of behaviors that are unwelcome this might not be for you. We are friendly, thoughtful and courteous.

I'm 47. Been playing like it's my job for 6 years. I am not the oldest person on my server.
Part of the attraction for me that minecraft offers is that is very much like the Dungeons and Dragons and Legos of my fantastic 70's childhood.

We love building medieval and fantasy themed builds and we strive to keep the nether in theme on our map. A wild demonic realm of eeeevil builds.
