Has Frontear actually done anything to inspire past players to come back?

Greetings Commanders,
We’re pleased to announce that, starting today, we’re implementing a new and revamped application system for Player Minor Factions.
In re-working the original system for applying for a player minor faction, we are now able to process player minor faction applications with more efficiency and speed. Ultimately, this means that you’ll see your minor factions in-game sooner than before!
Read below for more information:
Why have a minor faction in Elite Dangerous?
A player minor faction is a way for established Player Groups to represent themselves in-game, pushing the agenda of their groups throughout the galaxy.
Once you have submitted a player minor faction, and have it approved by us at Frontier, your player minor faction will show up in one of the three selected systems of your choosing. Your minor faction’s description will show up in a future update of Elite Dangerous.
You will have to manage your minor faction's economy, influence, and other galactic threats! Take part in various actions: combat, performing missions, selling exploration data and so on; other Commanders will be able work with or against your minor faction and therefore, your minor faction will be subject to the actions and functions of the Background Simulation (BGS).
I applied for a minor faction before the introduction of this system…
If you have previously submitted a player minor faction application with the older form, then you will have an update on the status of that application in the coming days. It will either be approved, or rejected, and depending you will need to do the following:
…it was approved and added to the game:
You don’t need to do anything; your minor faction is in the game! This system is for new player minor factions only!
…And it was rejected:
You will need to resubmit your player minor faction application with the new system below.
Apply for a player minor faction today!
Before applying for a player minor faction, please ensure you’ve notified us of your Player Group, which you can do by filling out the form here.

Hi. I've just tried the links given here https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/register-for-a-minor-faction.529123/ to register a Player Group and then apply for a new Player Faction and they both worked fine for me. Perhaps it's a browser issue? I tried it with MS Edge.So is there no way currently to register a new player group, request a minor faction? It seems the link to the player group registration is no longer working...
Well I DID receive a DM from one of the community managers just a few minutes ago, regarding Community Goals (in a chain of messages that started with me asking about third-party galaxy tracking tools)...meaning in a manner of speaking, I've got Frontier on the metaphorical phone right about now...That's a good idea, unfortunatly I doubt it would have much if any traction inside Frontier. From my point of view, the squadron/minor faction were a step toward guild system wich has since been dropped in favor of a more individualist gameplay. That's maybe where your idea can find someone to get it onto a desk or two..
