Server Registration (VOTE)
I got this idea from Wiz's server listing post, where he wanted people to list their server name, type, description, webpage, etc so that the users could find servers they would be interested in without having to connect to each one of them. Now how can server registration possibly help in this regard? Easily, we make a page (and by we I mean me) that allows users to register and specify that information, one that displays a list of all servers that have been active within the last 3 days, and one that allows users to edit their information in case they change their server type. Registration probably wouldnt be mandatory so that users who dont want their server public dont have to. I think this would help people running servers get more publicity and players should find it makes it easier to find a server they might be interested in playing on.
Any Thoughts?

You could tie it to being green. In other words, green servers have more information available about them....

Except that takes away the meaning of green. Stable dedicated server. It would instead mean "registered on the website" and there would be a flood of home dsl / cable servers on the green.

True true. Up to you i guess =)
I just think the true "dedicated" servers in server farms should be kept seperate from the everyday home servers. Otherwise itll be all jumbled together.

The first thing I think of is all the here today gone tomorow servers, what happens when there is information on 25 servers but only 5 of them are up anymore? You going to have a time limit where if a server isnt up for say a week there information is taken off?
It is a good idea, as long as there is a way to have information for server that arent up taken off on a regular basis or the forums will get spammed with threads asking were server X and Y are.

Could always post a time of the last update. Or have Dev's of the server send monthly e-mails to insure its still up.

This has already been thought of. Per my original post:

|
If a server isnt active in 72 hours (3 days) it is not displayed. It wont be deleted, it just wont show up until they are back up again.

Yes I like this idea.
I also agree with seperating home servers from high bandwidth servers.
As I host a home server I sure wouldn't want to be flooded with more than my comp/connection can handle, then getting a bunch of angry tells/ PM's here on the forums for connection issues.
I also think there should be a user rating system of the servers listed.
like a questionaire on various areas of server performance.
like a 1 to 10 rating system based on simple thing like :
server stability:
story line:
community feel:
GM personality:
responce to petitions:
zone performance (different than stability, ie: general issues, pathing, zoneing correctly and safe etc...) :
server speed (zone times):
update frequency:
character retention after server upgrades/updates:
Bugs (playable or not):
etc.... I am sure more can be thought of.
Also a population counter on the 5.8/5.9 server selection would be great. I miss that about seeing the Scorp server selection screen for 5.7

Dedicated as in a dedicated server in a server center? Or dedicated as in committed?
Heh.
