(I don't mean this like a question and answer kind of thread, more of an opinion and discussion kind of thing.)
When you make a server, what do you find makes people join most often? What makes them not join? This is something I found out yesterday, that I find a little bit sad. >_>; I've made many, many servers. They're always a build. "O_o's Colorful Build, O_o's City Build, O_o's Future Build", but none of them got many people to join. Yesterday, I made a server. "O_o's Death Trap Build". And I was greeted with the joining sound hundreds of times. -_-'
I don't understand what it is with death, but it sure seems to be popular. Any time I find a server involving death, people seem to want to join. >_>;
But there seems to be a lot of people desperate to have people join now that anyone can make a server. I see a lot of servers with "plz come free admin" in their names. I've also had a lot of people message me asking me to join their server, which I soon decline as well. Those two examples are what I mean by things that make people not join. At least, they make me not join.
