I think your onto something. With all the things to be concerned with, work, school, girls, the price of fuel, this isn't even on my radar screen. I don't know why you would need to look at the host list, unless your looking for a buddy that you are not sure you want to join.

I personally think that for a server to be sucessful, you need to have a good following.
Take these servers: UNRULES, n00bstories, NOn00bs, n00bless, MP-Gamers, Jelly-Server and a few more i cant rememember right now. These all are large reliable servers with a experience in running servers for Renegade. That is why they are brimming with players, NOT because of a "a00" name. I bet if n00bstories server was at the bottom of the WOL/XWIS server list it would still be almost, if not full!! 
They have built up communities as well for there own servers. And that helps a lot in player count.
My advise is to not worry about getting a a00 name. Just adivitise your server, Launch it on WOLSPY to attract gamespy players as well, build a forum/community. Maybe have a quirk for your server that makes it unique and not just another "OMGUBERL337 AOW Server".
Just a few ideas.

p.s. WOLSpy is NOT an option for some, (anyone heard of the NetDDE hole? or do I need to demonstrate?)

Ok here is the deal..
Its like advertising, You want to be seen and heard off. Up to me, I would make it so that the large servers were always the top 6...Zunnie would have to shrink his battalion of servers to 3-4...
Un runs a new maps server, that really isn't competetion for most people, but they higher up the name shows in listings the more likely somone is to go to our site and download the maps.
GSA is a vanilla server, running no mods like special weapon drop, weather, new crates e.t.c. Its meant for those people that play in clan matches where stuff like this is turned off. I figured with all the SSAOW server out there, a stock server running original renegade would be nice.
As for a00 names, I have seen other servers, they all fight for getting top space; its just the way it is and people should stop complaining
