And T9K somehow knows how to keep the players coming back to Classic somehow. -_-

Maybe it is time we start promoting the classic server in the smp, just like we promote the smp in classic.

I'll tell you how T9K gets players to return. The whole T9K experiance is based around classic, their SMP server is MUCH smaller. On Opti, the front page is filled with SMP, everything is filled with SMP.
If I'm honest, I support Monkey's view, of a creative server, with ranks like, or similar to, classic (Always day, flat land, with bit bigger worlds, or zones with warps to them or something). I think the advantage of having much more blocks, a decent staffing system, a more active community and possibly a world for redstone will tempt many more players, from normal survival players who want to test builds, to the classic players who want to continue building. Note 2 things I think should happen: 1. Sand physics should be off. 2. All builder and crafter and donation worlds, and maybe recruit worlds should be ported to the new server.

The thing is SMP brings in more money than Classic, hence why its on the front page.
The idea of a classic like SMP server wont ever been hosted by Opti, in my opinion, but as lumi said that he was going to create server with a plugin that could catch Opti's eye.
But for now I dont think Classic will die. As when smaller servers die off first, most players will find another server which would normally be on of the high ones. This means more players will always join.

As long as the server is up, classic will stay. Optical has no intentions of closing classic as of now

but a promotion boost will have good work, we need some inprovements.. but what?
Alpha_Lance:
You all talked about why we are low on our usual count of members on Classic, but everyone here forgot 2 important facts.
1. Majority of the classic members are ages 15 and under.
2. Summer Vacation has ended. School has begun (Exception being some schools start up in September instead of August.)
Sorry to say, but... Well, expect a larger decline of players by the 7th of September. When weekend homework/projects begin to pile up.
