Alright so with the release of SC2 there are a lot of maps out there that have become "Popular" and because blizzard has screwed us over because of the custom game list thing us mappers are kinda screwed unless we not only make a good map, but also must be very lucky...SOOOOOOOOO i propose that we get a group of about 5-10 people every person with their own map, and we spend allitle while hosting and quiting repetitively each one of the team member's maps repetitively until it gets "Bumped". i hope this will get some of our maps up there, i currently dont really have a great one that is worth bumping but i will soon and i would be willing to help other people until mine is ready, sign up below with ur Map, Bnet name and authenticator.
Honestly though I think it would take a LOT more than 5-10 people joining and leaving. The popularity system is rated by how many people pay those maps per hour. Join a game of nexus wars an it usually fills w/ in <5 seconds! If someone is pending for more than 5 seconds, people leave to rejoin another game start. I wish you lots of luck with this and may help out (because I'm all for supporting this community), but I think our best chance is bugging Blizz to change their system!

I think you have to actually start the game w/ at least 2 players to bump the game up.
That shouldn't be true, then 1-player maps would never raise in popularity.
Maybe computers count as players or an exception for single user maps?
Because whenever I tried to start a multiplayer map alone many times, the # would stay the same.

@Antimatterthunder: Go
Well, calling your map SC: Ghost seems to work well.
