The only thing it needs is one plain and simple word: organization.
Keeping a server open all the time is more trouble than it looks like, I'm sure Scyber realized. Even when I had a spare PC, after a few weeks it really annoyed me. Nevermind the fact that home hosted Minecraft servers... are generally too laggy.
Also, now with all the mods around, I'm not sure I'd even want to play in a servers thats too vanilla. At least, I couldn't live without Mo's creature mod. The game simply just ain't that excitting by itself, I have to say.

maybe the thing to do is plan an event where we all get together and play flood or something. Or, we all get together and build a planned town in like an hour, sort of like that video
Personally I prefer vanilla with realistic builds. It's just about finding the right people who are active, creative, and trustworthy. Even if it's ad hoc, you throw them a blank canvas and some amazing things can happen. I've seen this on a couple servers that I've been on, so I thought why not do it myself.
Organization isn't that big of an issue, just need to lay down some guidelines - but you're right: the current version of minecraft server/client still run very inefficiently. And Notch has asked server modders to hold on development until they can get a proper minecraft API working. There has even been discussion between Mojang and Bukkit (a server admin mod) to possibly be integrated in the future. So as it stands the game still needs a lot of work, but it's getting there and if people want they can enjoy it now which I think is fantastic.
hey guys, i just noticed dfans has a minecraft server up, i was wondering if i could take part in the fun. i noticed there are occupations and im not really sure what i would want to do if accepted, but i was just wondering if i could join in on the fun.
