So, yesterday I was looking around the inter webs and saw this...

And at first I was like yea, seems legit... BUT then I saw we were on average around 3,500. And I thought waaait a minute, we have more people playing on all the servers than just that! And then I realized at the bottom, who made it... ClankStar :O Soo... I pulled up MC, just to show how biased this was...
Server list: (at time of me viewing)
Screen shot 2013-08-04 at 2.26.20 PM.png

Says MCgamer is at 3,949, well look at this,
Its the 3 hubs of MCSG with how many people are on at 2:43 on a sunday:

If you add all those, plus CA and AS, than you get 12,105+ Waayyyy more than the Hive, or any other Hub, for that matter.
So the point of this is to show that the website is biased, and is bringing down the servers popularity, by showing that the Hive is the more popular server (Which is NOT the case) and, makes players think the Hive is the better server, because it shows more people play it! So, as soon as I realized this, I had to share it!

Also, you might disagree saying, that it says us.mcgamer.in thats listed, not ALL mcsg servers! Well, yes, but the Hive only has HiveMC.eu down aswell! so... it's completely fair, right? WRONG! The Hive only has 1 server, so if they got a us server, instead of multiplying in players, they would split all the us players that play there, and have the EU players stay there, so there would be around 4,000 people on each one, resulting in us still being more popular!

Sooo... I think ChadTheDJ or a Senior Staff member should consult ClankStart and tell him to fix it, you might think it's not a big deal, but it actually lowers are popularity, and something should be done!

It's only listing the US hub. Not all three combined.

Did you read the whole thread? No, so i'm going to post exactly what it says in the thread...

I still don't see what the problem is. Yes, the MCGamer network has more players on it total, but on the one server, the US hub, it has less player than on the Hive's one and and only server. If the hive gets another server, then yes, it would be split, and the hubs would have more people. But since they don't have multiple servers, the list can only count it as one. Unless of course, the hive has added more servers since I last checked. Now, if you're saying that all of our hubs should be added to the list, I would disagree. If a person decides to join the server, and they aren't from the US region, it wouldn't take too much figuring out to find the correct hub. If they only show one of our hubs, it leaves room for other networks. I feel like the list is fine how it is. If you feel that my opinion is incorrect, I'd rather have you PM me than start a flamewar on this thread.

When the Hive gets a US server, they'll probably list only one or both, separately.

This post is unnecessary and will just cause more drama and hate towards the Hive.

I don't think this can be right. The US and AU hub have nearly identical player counts on your picture, which shouldn't be right since the US hub has 200 MCSG servers, MCTF2, Zedchase, creative and survival, while AU only has 25 MCSG servers. So, when you see the player count for one hub, it's actually all of them.
