Re: How do you get people into your server?
 

I'm pretty sure the bots (depending on the mod) kick themselves once someone enters the game so really they aren't filling up slots.

Getting a server active for longer than 1-4 weeks is usually the most difficult part as you need a solid user base to start off with which is why I advise either newish clans or clans that have come from somewhere else to recruit on another server (which allows recruiting) and when you have a solid "fan" base you can move over otherwise you'll be stuck in a loop hole where people will go to their favourite server over and over. In short they don't really have a reason to visit your server as you're unknown so getting yourself known should be the first thing to do :).
