Ladies and Gentlemen, these are the servers that need helped. Their ranks are below 100 and frankly, that's unacceptable. We have several top 50 servers earlier this year, I would love to see this happen again. I put the players graph up because it tells the best story. Most of these servers are populated up until Midnight and completely dead by 3am. We desperately need more people to be playing late at night. I know school is back in session, but there's a lot of us who aren't in school who can play or atleast seed during these times.
I know everyone has their favorite maps and favorite servers, if you don't want to see your server land on the chopping block, get in their and seed. If you're so heck bent on getting hats, seeding means idle time and our servers do give items to people who are in spec. So, you get your silly hats (maybe) and eGO Servers become better, it's for the greater good.
How to Seed a Server
Step 1: Find a Server.
Step 2: Connect and Go Spectator
Step 3: Change your name and add an to it.
Hit Shift+Tab and go to Settings. In Settings, where it says your name, just modify it with the, it can go before or after your name.
Seeding any of the servers is great, but I would urge you to pick one from the list above, as they are the ones that need the most help. You don't want to seed a server that already have 20+ people in it, as it's probably on it's way to becoming full. Target ones with less than 20 people. Also, servers with less than 10 hold more importance.
I'd also like to mention that seeding isn't just about sitting in spec to show more people are in the server. Seeding does nothing if you have 10 spectators, without anyone playing. We also need people to be playing in the servers as well, to keep the ones that come there. Play for a bit, when more people show up, you can hop back in spec. Even if you only play for 20 minutes, that's 20 minutes that the server will be active. If everyone does their part, we can get our servers climbin' those ranks again.

Recruit!
Recruiting isn't limited to the Admin Recruiters. Everyone can help out and recruit people. Invite your friends, people you see in our servers all the time, even people you just meet. Every recruit counts, even if you only get one person to join, you're still helping out the clan. More recruits means: more people to play in our servers, more people to donate or click the ads, and more people to bring others to the clan.
In Conclusion
So, instead of joining some achievement server that's running an idle map, why not give something back to the community? Help out the servers, our wallets and our member list.

I don't have any official numbers to back this up, but you can do the follow to improve your "seeding experience."
1. 640x480
2. Run in a window.
3. Minimize TF2 and seed away.
If your computer still can't handle it,, but at least you tried.
