| In-game server advertising. |

Would be interesting if done correctly. Sounds somewhat similar to the server screenshots on blockland.us I don't think it would help advertising though. |

Like users can create a banner and it displays on your main menu, click the banner and it connects to the server. Banners cycle with your background between all available banners. When uploading your banner you do it with your name and the server name, and only uploaded banners for servers on the list that aren't full can be shown. By authenticating by server name rather than IP (when you upload your upload IP would have to match the master server listed IP for the server) it means that it won't show your Freebuild banner if you're hosting a deathmatch or whatever, and by not showing full servers' banners it means someone using it to skim servers wouldn't be shown ones they can't join. Maybe have clientside keep a cache of servers you're banned from and not show them either, as well as each banner being uploaded with a list of tags and clients can filter or weight choices based on tags to show stuff they're more interested in. Manual banner approval would also be kind of required otherwise people would upload stuff we don't want shown (research for attention grabbing, shock images, incorrect tags, etc) Sound about right? |

Sounds cool. Until someone makes a goatse banner. |

Yeah, or someone makes something like (No offence Glass) "JOIN GLASSES snake 24/7 IT IS AWESOME,FREE love FOR EVERYONE" Lol |

I think this is slightly what the server preview was meant for. People can see your server build a bit and then they can decide more easily if they want to join or not. |
