Section for advertising MC Servers

[Godly]

Title pretty much says it all.

In the current Advertisement section I was told you cannot advertise mc servers and it is strictly for finding advertisement services etc etc.
Why not add a separate section for that purpose?

Now, I see why you would say no. There isn't really an "easy way out" as you can call it for advertisement. But this section can offer a place for server owners with a little budget for advertisement to get their server out.

I'm suggesting this because my friend recently released a small server and it got nobody of because of poor advertisement.
Feel free to comment your opinion, don't be rude or anything though. Positive criticism!

Most people within our specific target audience, within our community, are looking for stuff to sell to server owners, or looking to develop their own servers. They're not looking to join and play.
Those here who do play Minecraft either already have their own servers they play on, or limit their playtime to a few rounds on Hypixel/MP.

In other words... It'd be like putting up an advertisement for a pizza delivery service in the kitchen of your competitors.
It won't be nearly as effective or beneficial as you might think it will be.

However, this site has been expanding quite a bit, so perhaps we've grown a slightly larger end-user community since last I checked.

From what I've seen,

A lot of people (including myself to be honest), post their server advertisements in this section

What are our thoughts on renaming this forum to something like "Server Showcase & Discussion"? That would make that forum a place for people to advertise their minecraft servers without us adding in a second forum for it.

Yee, it'd make it more active and remove spam from the other forums sections

In recent days i was also thinking in adding such suggestion. Although it is good to rearrange the Advertisement section, i think that "Showcase" and "Discussion" should not be under the same forum section.
The advertisement section is good. If you were to think adding tags to it so that ppl would distinguish the treads it would be good.
"Showcase", is a needed and can do some good to advertisements and sales or any upcoming products under servers/setups too.

Tags,
Advertisement: For any services or/and servers.
Showcase: For any new upcoming servers/setups/projects that are worked on and planned to come out soon, or have already came out.

It will be nice if the structure of some of the forums/sub-forums is reorganized.

If you're saying it should go here https://www.mc-market.org/forums/mc-advertising/
My main problem with that is it's under the category of Minecraft Services.
I don't really view showcasing servers as a service.
I might be understanding your reply wrong though.

We've implemented this change thanks to this suggestion thread, so I guess I'll move this thread to accepted?

Justis did make some good points about the usefulness of advertising your server to a bunch of server owners, but I just thought we should try it and it seems to be working so far.

Accepted, thank you.
