We are struggling with getting new players.
This doesn't just include the retention rate (how many players which visit our servers actually stay), but actually the numbers of new joins / day.

We desperately need your help with that!
- Invite your real life friends to our server
- Share our server on any social media page and any site where allowed
- Make YouTube videos if you are a youtuber about our server and community
- Vote and donate! The amount of votes we are getting is too low because some people are too lazy and they don't realize what a massive difference would be for us if more people voted

Other ways to fix this:
- Pay a SEO specialist anywhere between $1000 and $3000 to optimize our site for google search / search engines / etc. Not possible
- Invest at least ~$200 / mo in advertising. Not possible unless donations increase
- Maintain a better presence on Facebook/Twitter/Other social media networks - @Katherine  - hit me up and let's have a talk about this when you have time. you can help here.

I feel like people are avoiding posting here, as there ks not really much to be said in ways to help.
I have invited friends and voted a lot so... yeah.

I've always imagined you as like a old irish man that drinks whiskey and screams at people to get off his lawn while sitting on a bench in the park. But I'm pretty sure that's not the case because if it was: 1. you're a pedophile and 2. you're a pedophile

I mean I advertise this server to my friends all the time as much as I can, so I think I'm helping?

Wouldn't it be funny if the server that was "toxic and killing sft's players" is what revives us.
Greed may not be good, but it's not bad, either. You humans think it's for money and power. But everyone wants something they don't have.
Survival is the only way. Live on and learn more.
Even when our eyes are closes, there's a whole world out there that lives outside ourselves and our dreams.

I still suggest we expend our horizons towards more games/modpacks; hell, I'd be willing to do it. Maybe try expanding our steam group a bit to encourage 'steamers' to try a server of ours. I also noticed that there are no third-party advertisments on the SFT page-this could bring in a little spare change that is desperately needed. Plus aside from that, I could devise many ideas to help. And, I'm sure many others would be glad to join in. :D

Whens the faction server coming on? I had many friends years ago who played factions on SFT with me and they quit because factions died, so Ill contact them and tell them to join again :)

Upcoming servers will help, as well as putting website links on non minecraft servers. Dst gets quite a few brand new players each day, but as the night comes will join back after. Leaving the link up will get more people to notice the website and join other servers.

Not really anybody plays Minecraft anymore

I believe Factions may actually help the situation a lot!

Another point to consider is getting on with removing Parkour. I have been trying to show people around but many times they end up in the parkour server and they leave due to it being dead. I highly recommend we get on with this and more people than just the Architect team are more than willing to help with this.

Jesus it sure seems like factions is the #1 demand right now.
@Dpa1991 @saywhat2365 @iLaxrv10  - You better come up with something or the people will want your blood xD

How about G-mod, loads of people play it and may enjoy TTT and such like, after all if you don't own the game it's like £5.

I like to imagine that this took 53 tries to make and then you did a typo but it finally answered yes

the upcoming factions server is willing to bring old players back, but majority of them are banned :p

A way to get players:
Get your players to advertise in schools

How about we change the art of our ad about SFT? It seems kinda "simple"

You can see it when you vote on certain websites
