I don't know what /vrg/ is like now, I quit VRchat, but it used to be the case that certain people who were online a lot became the names that were dropped for others to join, for the obvious convenience of them being likely to be online and thus joinable, but it inadvertently created the impression that were had some kind of authority: the meetup is where <name> is and we'll only go through the portal dropped or approved by <name>. It even extended into other games, where others would only join on certain names. 

I feel /vrg/ would have been a better place if VRC had a proper server system, so no-one would ever have been explicitly designated as an anchor in the first place. The dedicated /vrg/ Pavlov servers have managed to sustain at least some level of regular activity since their creation, while relying on hosts went from daily games to nothing literally overnight because one person was no longer hosting.
