    Yeah, making a youtube channel and some other servers for other games would help.

    Then it needs to be more active and needs to be promoted some more.

    Honestly, the only way I think a community can grow is by letting it grow slowly. I see no reason why we should focus on making this community bigger, as pretty much every TF2 trader already heard about this community. I don't think Facebook or Youtube will help grow this community. We're hat-trading gamers, not social networkers :p

    What I think that we should focus on instead is make the players who aren't regulars in this community, become regulars. And also, rewarding the existing members which were already with this community. Just my 2-cents.

    Steam, Raptr and Facebook groups. Also a Tweeter. Not sure if Playfire has groups.

    Do a playthrough on youtube with commentary. Extra points if you can be witty and funny during the videos. Hold weekly match and do commentary on them with youtube.

    I know you already have a youtube account but maybe put more stuff up about the server like gameplay or something like that.
