MCServerlist.net For Sale
The time has come. I’m in need of more R&D time, and mcserverlist is taking up all of it. It has a thriving userbase, a loyal community, and is the largest publicly available listing of Minecraft Survival Multiplayer servers in the world. I need someone who is as dedicated to the community as I am to take over, and give the site the attention that I cannot.
Here’s some basic stats...

Some Changes
I have quite a few changes coming up. One of the biggest ones that have been requested, is a singular IP address that does the pinging of servers. I’ll be making the changes that only one IP address is pinging the servers.
Hopefully this will also fix the random “0%” errors that are occurring as well.

Changes to MCServerlist
Alright. I’ve done it. I’ve been bugged for months about how people want more control over their servers, the ability to vote on servers, etc, etc. All these things needed to have user accounts in order to work properly.
So that’s what I’ve done. Starting today, you need a user account to post a server. In the next couple days (maybe hours) I’ll be enabling voting on...

Oops, sorry about that.
So it seems that a bug in the software has deleted any server that failed a check within the last 24 hours. Sorry about that, feel free to re-add your server if yours was affected, you can hit me up in IRC to restore your percentage if needed.

To become a beta user, please contact me in #rsw on irc.esper.net. Not all applicants will be accepted, you’ll need to be a mod developer, or...

Server List Updates
Over the past few days I’ve been reworking the minecraft server list (http://mcserverlist.net). There was over 2,000 servers listed, most of them defunct, so I wanted to remove those from the database as they were just using up space.
I removed the GC code in favor of a total uptime code, I feel this reflects what people are looking for more.
I’ve also added a search feature, which...
