I posted mega's ad for the great CF|Uk server on 9gag and memebase I need you all to help vote these up to advert the server.

Post 2 (memebase) http://cheezburger.com/47735553

This probably won't end well.

Its a well made advert but that doesn't stop it being an advert on boards that are likely to react negatively to ad postings.

unfortunately, 9gag and memebase are very bad places for ad posting unless you posted, for instance, the buggy enderman clip with a CF|UK notice in the corner.

This is far to recognizable as an ad and thus will likely draw some really nasty attention. Can only hope that nasty attention stays on 9gag and memebase =(

Reddit instead, on the minecraft sub-reddit

You can't post server adds on the minecraft sub-reddit. You have to post adverts in the minecraft server subreddit.

Now, if you were to post some nice pictured in the minecraft reddit, that would be fine. So long as you don't post the ip. You can message the ip to those that request.

Ohh, okay.

FWIW search engines can be important. Bing doesn't seem to like us much: http://www.bing.com/search?setmkt=en-GB&q=uk+minecraft+server

I dont know if bing is too mutch of a problem. I think that most people who play video games uses google.
In the uk 9 of 10 people use google, and on google CFUK is number 2 if you search "uk minecraft server "

Ohh and the post on the the technicpack forums is number 1 if you search "uk tekkit server"

Quote from your memebase:

"Can you wonderful internet users please help save one of the original minecraft servers? We are in danger of being cancelled due to a recently low player count"

I must have missed the post about being in danger of getting cancelled.....I know you meant well but it isnt getting very good feedback on the sites.

Also it sounds like a dieing server begging for members (which CF:UK is not)

What michael said. Even though it was a good idea it makes CFUK look desperate which in my opinion is an image we want to avoid. Kinda makes us sound weak which we are not.
Personally I think there is nothing wrong with our player count on the server. And if there is then those who do go on are generally good and posistive members which I would prefer.

We're on low numbers yes, but not dying

To clarify, there is not a chance in hell we will be disappearing for the next 4-5 years at least. Where did you get the "We are in danger of being cancelled due to a recently low player count" from???

Whilst we appreciate advertising to help players find a place to play, we do not support SPAM-like or false facts advertising.

I can also officially confirm crazy fools UK is not being cancelled any time soon, regardless of the player count.
