In my opinion, this server is A LOT less active then it was before. When I first started out, I would be play for about 2 hours every day :/, now I just play for like 1 hour for 1 or 2 times a week. To me, everything seems like it's going downhill, ive seen this happen to my old server where at first, there were 20 people on everyday, now its only 3 :/. I think that we should add more games and challenges such as: Building comp's, Redstone comp's, Team PVP, Normal PVP, and stuff like that so the server won't be as boring.

For Luigi:
I think that you should have minigames in your server that are programmed by other people, at first, there will be the same amount of people, but within a few months, that effort will pay off. I think that you should have dedicated people programming you r website and dedicated programmes making minigames in your server.
P.S. I can do the website programming for free, all you have to do, is tell me what to add or remove. This is a test website I built in like 15 min to just show you: http://webbcrafttest.weebly.com/about.html
This one took me longer: https://preview.c9users.io/imtoolazytowriteausername/myfirstwebsite-/StarWarsNews.html?_c9_id=livepreview0&_c9_host=https://ide.c9.io but its not done or published yet so I dont know if it will show up for you, I also made this second one using real code and the first one was just a template

its down to when you're online, when i first joined there was 40 players online as an average! often times we were full at 80 slots.
that was though, when a new version of MC just came out.

midday during the working days we do not tend to get that many people online as they are at school or work, weekends we have about 15-20 people.

i predict when 1.9 is realised we will be full again at 80 slots.

I don't think the server has become less active, in fact activity has probably increased.
I made a graph of player activity since the 16th of August 2015 with increments of 5 minutes. As you can see, it looks quite steady.

The total average is 14.28933821.
When I looked at just the period between now and the start of the year, the average is 16.41100798.

Madz. You played at different times. About 9 hours before you would usually log in there would be around 40 players online

The server has had 80 players online, most recently during January, February and March 2015 the server was full or close to being full almost every day. The average amount of players online at a given time was approximately 39.87. The graph only shows data from 16th of August 2015 to 22nd January 2016 if you haven't noticed.

I don't want to downgrade the server only to have to upgrade it again a few months later because upgrading/downgrading is a big hassle.

My bad then, I didn't know that that many people played at different times :P, thx for showing it to me, now I know that the server isn't getting worst :). I also have another question, do you pay to have your server held by minecraft? or do you have one of those server box's that holds servers? My coding school use's one of those box's with 4 gigs of vram to hold up to 80 players and its free also they can always extend it more with less hassle but it is A LOT slower of a server compared to other ones.

-Thank you

What we do is we pay for a server host, Luigi doesn't self host. I think we have 4gb of RAM (Random Access Memory) dedicated to our server. Maybe luigi will post the exact specs of our host that we rent.

When you donated for your builder rank Mike, that money went towards the cost of renting our server.

I found a really low quality image I took and put on facebook, way before I knew how to take a screenshot XDDD there's 72 players online in this, I took the image on the 13th of February 2015, 3 days after i joined. I was farming on mine and KGEvans' old farm.
