Whoops, feel free to move it to the correct forum then. I thought there was only one general discussion :)
Oh, and if my graphic design skills can be of service, feel free to ask. I haven't kept up with php much over the years, but I can definitely put together a clean, modern design for the site. After $90 of donations the future of the server is of some small importance to me :P

Hehe. $90 is small?
Why not u create a logo? Or a poster? Something like that. :P

Honestly, most people came here because Opticraft was at the top of the list and under it says "The one Notch tweeted about." I saw that and thought "Well, must be legit." If Opticraft wasn't at the top, I probably would have joined T9K because they seem more community oriented and apparently have a pro-ish graphic designer/community organizer on staff.
It seems to me that the strategy of Opticraft's survival was one of damage control. The server was hooked up to a firehose of rampaging nubs and it took some heavy handed rules, Ops, and Admins to keep it under control. We could get away with less features and less rewards simply because most people weren't willing to shop around before picking a server. Without the nub-supply, we will have to quickly adapt or sink into obsolescence.

I dont see a reason to post any of this since you aren't offering any solutions. I know you don't have bad intentions but it seems like you are just complaining about the classic server while praising Tk9.
Optical is now dedicating the majority of his time to the opticraft beta server so most likely the future of the opticraft community is on beta.
By the way, why would having a "pro-ish" graphic designer make tk9 better?

I wouldn't say I'm praising T9K, I just said they give a nice first impression. But when you're competing for new members, that sort of thing becomes important. Hence the benefit of having a polished web presence.

This is good, because beta is definitely the future. Especially now that 1.8 has a legit Creative mode.
Solutions?
I would like to see a beta version of our classic server. 512x512x96 flatgrass worlds but with all the fanciness that beta allows. Same ranks with same block restrictions - Except when recruits place water/lava its the real deal with physics. And redstone should be limited to builders, or crafters, depending on how much server CPU use it requires.
I would also like to see a shift in focus to community development instead of community policing. This should come naturally as OPs will suddenly have more free time to build and have fun.
Outside of the Minecraft world, we should have someone promote us in all the usual internet locations, and if it's desired, I can handle the graphics end of things.
