a big thing is that back when this was all on LJ, most social media platforms were still in their infancy (except myspace, but no one used myspace) and the major fandom communities were pretty much all on LJ.
long story short; LJ made a lot of decisions that made it difficult to maintain fandom OR RP communities on there, so RP all immigrated over to DWRP, but since that was 2012 and by this time tumblr, facebook, etc were all now very much A Thing, the fandom communities didn't come with is.
so we basically got caught off from the fuel system that kept players coming in. now, we are by no means a tiny playerbase, a recent survey of players suggests we're anywhere in a range from 1,500-4,000 (large margin, yeah, but hey, that's statistics for ya), but that's still pretty small to spread among all the games on DWRP plus players that only play memes/PSLs
as far as how our drama is handled, that's basically the reason these anoncomms exist, ostensibly. that being said, you can go your entire time here and not need to worry a wink about it because they're not nearly as influential on the general player climate as they used to be
