Could you think about merging server 1 and facebook SK.
People signing up on facebook see only around 30 players if that and are obviously not continuing to play. If it was merged with server 1 players might stick around and raise the play numbers.
Also if you added a feature to suggest SK to your friends list this might help get more players. As you know facebook is huge so it would be stupid to miss out on this opportunity. If everyone suggests their friends join with this feature and only 1 signs up and suggests to friends, we could easily get a few hundred or even thousands more players.

s2 really serves zero purpose anymore as the game is small enough for us not to need a small version of SK-- we already have one. Besides, I am sure the bandwidth is not tiny that is used on s2.
Facebook sk is an app for a social networking site and maybe with some better advertisement (I don't think it is listed even on the game apps on FB) and in other ways like on the main SK site itself, it could take legs and actually improve the game play all around. With only two servers it would also become the clear alternative for people who don't want to play s1 for whatever reason.
Just my two cents.
Regardless, FB advertising is the only clear way forward in my opinion.
Merging S1 would mean they join to a good 40 sectors and see there is a decent few players and would probably mean more chance of them sticking around
It could be that maybe to appeal to a mass swath of users who are looking to pick away at a game for instant gratification with little effort, FBSK might need to be tweaked to be more streamlined, less political and team game. Meanwhile a game like s1 would appeal to people who would want to take something like that to the next level.
Maybe remove alliances altogether, sector sizes depending on the size of the playerbase. Remove missiles and other things that just clutter and complicate.
I agree with merging FBSK with another server, maybe do it with S2.
However, the greater question is, how about the community supports the game in conjunction with such an effort? SK players are fickle and they stick to what they are used to. If some new effort is going to take hold, especially one that might have greater benefits to the community down the road, people have to be willing to embrace it.
This is the 11th hour, if people really care they need to step up to save the game and save the community.
If they aren't there is a way to make it so, cause mine are.
PS: Have you seen the lame, stupid, retarded games the average FB user plays? Who cares?
Imagine half the players suggested it, and only 1 person from their friends list joined and played....then they suggested it to their friends and 1 other person joined from each and suggested it to their friends.
we could quickly have hundreds of players
if you dont like it, stop hanging around like a spastic
I said i would not invite my friends on facebook to play.
