Revitalize Server Listings

Luminaeus

Our description on server listings is a bit... outdated. The descriptions haven't been changed since we first turned on SMP.

I think, when we upgrade to 1.7.2 and introduce a new world, we should announce that on all the server listings and forums. We need to do something to draw more people in as it's been getting a bit quiet lately.

I don't see a reason this couldn't be done.

I will bring this up to optical once 1.7 releases.

It also wouldn't hurt to re-educate our existing members on the importance of voting. Not just clicking the buttons and closing the new windows/tabs but actually filling out the captchas and clicking 'vote'.

Oh trust me...it's been done a couple hundred times before.

Good topic and good idea's, I agree we could do with some freshening up and a bit of re-branding. Would have no issue with updating the vote sites descriptions, heck even a new banner would be good - if we can get a decent one.

As far as voting goes, I am working on making votifier required to receive rewards (on sites which implement votifier), and vote nag / vote rewards such as /home will only be activated if you've recently voted on a votifier site. More on this soon.

9 pages of submissions but no decent ones?

So basically all those people wasted their time.  There are some decent ones, come on (:
