Totally agree 100% that to many servers is a contributing factor as to the decay of an already shallow player base. It would be nice to be able to cull out the 2/3rds of the servers that that are not configured as to the needs and demands beyond the ability of anyone wishing to do so on their laptop and host a 32 slot.
It is however a problem that Frozen Sand can not solve as it's not our place to force a solution that would limit who can or can not set up a server be it lacking the serious resources necessary to do it right.
To return serve to many servers is really a problem for the community at large to solve as to what would be socially acceptable that does not require draconian solutions on the part of FS.
I have a few non-destructive ideas but what do you guys think?

I think a better solution might be to look for ways to encourage people to upgrade, so at least we are all on 4.3
eg: When people go to the server browser in 4.2 they see a bunch of greyed out servers with v4.3 next to them, and an "upgrade" button.
I have bagged the shit out of some players for being on 4.2 and they said they didn't even know 4.3 was out !
People are still playing 4.2, it doesn't cost anything to upgrade so WTF ?
They need a nudge !
