After interviewing almost everyone (128 people) in the friend by friend instances I can confirm a solid 72% of attendees found /vrg/ through a friend and not organically. There was also surprising amount of users who only would lurk /v/ and no other boards, and joined post 2016. After running through the feedback I have come to the conclusion that in comparison to last year's interviews a solid 35% increase in newfags that joined VRG do not participate Chan or board culture and are merely associated with friends who do via VRChat. Although most of this information is more or less known, what is significant is that compared to the 2020/2021 survey the direct correlation between the quest 2 headset and quality of the user base within the community has degraded significantly and will continue to do so.
