Hey there, I'll make this a short little suggestion thread.

My first suggestion, as posted, is to have a Monthly Leaderboard section on the leaderboards, and make it the MAIN section (so the first LB that you see.) Monthly Leaderboards will make it fair for new players who want a chance to make it to the top, and for old returned players who also want a chance. I've seen nothing but good feedback for this suggestion.
I've thought about this, and I really love the idea. Another Idea I thought of was maybe the person with the most wins that month, would get some kind of prize like donor or so. Just an added feature to improve peoples encouragement of playing. You could also get a badge on the site for being top 3 or so, just like on Planet Minecraft, when you get a trophy for getting in the top 3 on their contests. :)

No one likes the shorter lobby times, I don't see why.

I remember making a thread about that and only a few replied saying how bad the idea is, since they like to do other stuff like complete the parkour during that time.

But after completing the parkour so many times, it's not fun anymore. All I do now is run around the lobby while no one is voting after 2 minutes.

I still like the idea of shorter lobby times, and I support it.

The reason why the lobby is there are for letting people do real things when they can. It sometimes takes more than two minutes for going for the toilet, taking some food or getting a drink.

In those 5 minutes, I continue on an artwork, drink some tea and maybe go to the toilet.
Or chat with teammates.
I don't think there should be less lobby time. It isn't so hard to wait 5 minutes, and you can use the time to chat, check the forums, search around the web, check YouTube, or do IRL stuff.

My computer is really laggy so opening my browser is a nightmare when minecraft is open.

All the people saying they do stuff during the lobby time...
Yeah, I do stuff too, generally surf the web, use the restroom, or workout a set or two, but I only do this because the lobby wait time is so long. Let's face it, it's not because lobbies take too long to fill up, and I mean I just find it annoying to wait 5 minutes for a game that may only last twice that long.
