It's hard to tell which one is which.  It needs some work.
Also, rock becomes an annoying loop, which causes me to hate it.  Echo?  That might just make it worse XD

I love the 1 song, but you should at least have a few more before you make a topic.  Add more dubstep music.

EDIT:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubstep :O

No, it's not a tie. "I don't care" is in the lead, followed by "No"

Edited it.  Yeah.  I don't care wins.

Well.  People have quite the different opinions.  I consider this as a tie.

about 33% Yes
about 33% I don't care
about 33% No

That's interesting.  I thought it was gonna be like

2% Yes
48% I don't care
50% No

Those dedicated servers are still up high, but they seem to be falling down now.
C:

EDIT:
It's actually about 40% I don't care and 30% Yes and No

SECOND EDIT:
Maybe not a tie...  It's more of a I don't care.  Since the dedicated servers are starting to become less populated, I don't care either.  :P

THIRD EDIT:
Heh, third edit.  ^just totally made this topic pointless

If people wanted to play on his server, they would. But they don't. Why? Not because of the other server hosters, but because of the server and its quality. If your server is lacking quality, it will be lacking in players.

It's not lacking in quality.  And it used to not lack in players.  Like I said, I reached 32/32 players.  People to today still say "Your jail escape was awesome"

It is up to the server host to make the server attractive; the reason people join these dedicated servers is because people enjoy them. Dedicated servers add a touch of stability to whatever world you are playing in.

Take, for example, Badspot's Block Party, do you have an issue with that? That's a prime example of a dedicated server. There can be between 0 and 32 players but it keeps growing, it's  enjoyable with very few or lots of players.

If you host just another "freebuild" or "tdm" or anything generic, don't expect people to join unless they are your friends. If you want to host a tdm that people join, make a post for it on the forums, make a nice build for it and layout a good post about it.

I am not against Badspot's.  I am just against the ones that are at the top 24/7

They didn't join because a) jail escapes are stuff or b) there's not enough people to play, causing a cycle of nopes.

Jail escape = Jail RP.  How come Tezuni's is at the top?  Must be B because of the servers.  :\

It's really easy to get players away from the big servers since they have been up so long and have gotten boring. Maybe I will host something today.

Good luck with that :P
I hosted my Winter Jail Escape for about 4 hours yesterday.  I came back with 1 blockhead playing.  I checked the cmd, and it was pretty much empty.  :|

I host a dedicated server and it seems unless I happen to be on the place is empty..

Either way since when was how good a server is rated based on the number of people playing?

I am not rating it by the players, I am just seeing if people actually care about sharing their idea's for a server rather than playing one that has been alive for a long time.  And I think Pecon7's server is fantastic.  I think it SHOULD stay up, since it is keeping the boss battles idea alive.  But I mean like Glass' Trench Wars is just a little annoying to have since it maintains a lot of players while pretty much anyone can host a trench wars.  And Tezuni's is a Jail RP.  I mean, come on.  Anyone can host a jail rp too.  Vilegence's City RPG.  They are always more than 1 city rpg it seems like.

I agree glasses server is utter tosh.
But I still think that if a server is good, it will still become popular

Like I said, these servers can be good, but they shouldn't stay on for long periods.  I am perfectly fine with these server being on if they don't stay on for weeks.  I just am angered by the fact that everytime I get on blockland I see these servers at the top.  (I always filter players)

What do you possibly hope to gain from this campaign. Dedicated servers are not going to be removed. And if they were than what we are left with is family rp's and free builds.

Any Half decent server can fill up without been dedicated.

You neglect that the community is so small this concept of 'new popular server very day' just won't happen. The majority of servers are just generic and unoriginal, and we lack the hosts to make new stuff per day.

They can be closed by the community.  But sometimes that doesn't work.

Open up join server, click players, scroll all the way down.  Look at all the dedicated servers that are password protected.  Alright, those have been closed.  Slowly scroll up and watch the dedicated servers.  Most are still passworded.  Keep scrolling up slowly.  Note that most are not dedicated, and only have 1-6 players.  Keep scrolling up.  You should find more dedicated servers near the top.  Scroll to the very top.  You should see 4 dedicated servers, (preferably the ones I pointed out) at the top.  Now, the next day look at the top again.  You should (I could be wrong) see the same amount, or more, or less of dedicated servers at the top.  It's fine having dedicated servers at the top for a few days.  But for weeks or MONTHS (Glass' Trench Wars has been popular for atleast a month now) of being at the top?  That's not right.

EDIT: I am trying to point out that people's chances of creating a server that can be famous (Think of some of the old really popular servers.  Wicked's City RPG would skyrocket to the top (unless I am wrong, I don't know) if it was hosted again.  What if someone creates a server like that?  The chance of getting to the top or atleast more well known is reduced from these servers.  Now, some of these servers are nice.  I admit.  Infact, I am playing Tezuni's Jail RP.  Mainly because that one is new, and is nice.  (playing it now of 11:03 AM Eastern Time United States)

I can't host servers anymore with more than 10 people because of dedicated servers.  I reached 32/32 players at Blox's Winter Jail Escape (I'm Blox) when there was only a few dedicated servers like Pecon7's Boss Battles (note: I am not against this since it is the only one on most of the time)

I am talking about servers like
Jorgur's Classic Dogfight
Glass' Trench Wars
Tezuni's JAIL RP
Socrates' Bounty Hunter   ]
Vilegence's City RPG       ]  <-- these two are new

These servers maintain 10 or more players at almost all times.  This is starting to make me think of ROBLOX.  ROBLOX has thousands and thousands of players playing at one time, but there are almost always those favorites of people that have atleast 100 playing at ALL times.  Not ALMOST all times.  Though it seems selfish to have such a fit over other servers that are quite nice, I am just a little mad.  I want to keep the system of Blockland, like how there are only very popular servers that are non-ded that are popular once a day, and how the next day there are different popular servers.  This way, people can interact with the hosts, play more creative servers, and interact with the server more.  With dedicated servers, (I am not against people who are not planning to become "famous" and never visit their server often and ignore all the people at his/her dedicated server) the hosts can be mean.  CAN be mean.  I am not saying all hosts are mean, but I have found a few hosts that think they are sooooo famous and well-known from their server, that they are roostery, mean, and they ignore the people who want to interact or become friends with the host.  (<-- ADMIN OPERTUNITY.  THEY ARE RUINED BY THESE TYPE OF HOSTS WHO ONLY ADMIN/SUPER ADMIN THEIR FRIENDS)

Think this is not right?  Think they worked hard to get these servers.
I think they worked hard.  But it's just how they keep them going for days and weeks, stealing all of the players so players with new idea's or cool thought or fun games cannot reach the top of the server list (when you filter players)

I want to run this poll for 7 days to see if I should give up of caring about how blockland works.  If the majority is NO, fine, I don't care.  I refuse to join these servers anyway.  If the majority is I DON'T CARE, alrighty then.  At least I know I am totally stupid :P

If the majority is YES.
Post a message saying you vote yes and that you agree that this is right and that dedicated servers are bad.
