I will say, for myself, I dislike voting. The broadcast reminders are annoying and I've had trouble with the voting sites previously. As it is, I no longer play on the servers that require voting. I found, for me, it was nothing more than a waste of time.
Also, as Matti stated, the server is really only semi-public. It is meant for Ren's fans. This is why you'll only really find out about it from Ren, or if you have a friend already playing on the server. I, for one, appreciate that this keeps a good portion of the internet trolls away from the server. It is the community of Ren's fans that has made me really enjoy playing on the server. I wouldn't want to see it changed.
