I say we need to start advertising the server as a towny server with minigames rather than a minigame server with towny. Other servers beat us when it comes to popular, functioning, fun games. Plus, the majority of the meepcraft community spends most their time in the towny world anyway.
Regarding the video idea, I suggest we toss in a few scenes created from the program min-imator. It's free and packs a punch when it comes to animations.
If money and ideas are the problem, start giving the players of meepcraft tools to start working on improving the server. Need more XXX maps? Have the players of meepcraft build them rather than paying someone to do it or having the busy architects building them.
Need more programmers? Make a post here on the meepcraft forums of websites that can teach meepers how to program for the server (giving us free programmers.) Release a task every now and then for meepers to code, and every one who's code works gets 30,000 meebles or something. Don't think it'll work? Well if it does work, hooray, you made your job ten times easier, do you want to pass that up?
Need more votes? Have a server wide reward for getting X amount of votes. Every time the server gets 200 votes, everyone online gets diamonds, or gold, or vote points, whatever you want. This will encourage voting, trust me on that. Votes=us getting more publicity on the sites=more people.
Need people to stay? Point the players to TOWNY instead of minigames. Minigames are practically empty now because everyone is in towny.
Need a way to have the admins and even Fuzzlr re-incorporate themselves into meepcraft? Have them ditch their admin titles and start playing as players rather than supreme overlords who watch meepcraft from a distance, occasionally poking the meepcraft world with a stick.
Need a better trailer? Form a team, and by team I mean making a post on meepcraft forums titled "Who wants to help us make a meepcraft trailer?" have people list what they're good at, and move on from there. Take the best(Get animators, video editors, sound guys, ect.) and get it done. Min-imator(bringing up again) helps us catch the public eye. There are youtubers(can't remember the names right now) than release GOOD public domain music for anyone to use. Google Drive can help the team communicate and share their work.
Need the bugs in minigames fixed? Fix and IMPROVE the minigames that people actually play rather than the minigames you rarely see anyone in(I'm referring to Halo, and unfortunately CTF. Bring them back when we have 100 players on at all times)
Need a smaller spawn? Either make a new spawn, or bring back the old spawn. You've heard more complaints than compliments from this one, and no one is saying "I love this spawn, it's the best I've ever seen." Most of this spawn is empty, very little Easter eggs that a new player would understand, no secret signs giving you 1k meebles, NOTHING! Either start rewarding players for exploring spawn or shrink it down.
Need people to start spending money? Bring in some new titles for people(including citizens) to aim for. Create a gambling machine, have a 0.0001% chance of getting the "Gambler" title. Bring back those signs you had back at the old spawn where you pay I think 30K and boom, you can have whatever you want written there (I don't know what they're called, sorry about that :/ Take out some perks and have them where the players has to buy them in either in game currency or real life currency. Have notes that gave us old perks(like /fly) shrink in cost the higher you rise in ranks. For citizens, /fly for one hour costs 50K. For Ultimates, 10K.
I have more, but I just picked out the small stuff. Have a good night meepcraft, I'm tired and need to wake up tomorrow at 5:00
The problem with this is that it would be hard to staff to figure out who is good and who is not. I feel it would make the lives of staff even harder and also would take a lot of time.

Have a vote. meepers vote on the top ten, the mods narrow it down to the top five, Admins choose first place.
