I have a few suggestions to possibly make more people come:
1: Decide mods earlier. Although its MM tradition to decide at the last minute, it could be hurting attendance. (Ex: Someone wants to play, sees we haven't decided yet, and its already time. They give up, and don't attend) I think we should decide a few days before, like Wednesday's or Thursday's.
2: Play something new! Really, we always choose from like, the same 10 or so mods. Sure, we choose them because they are good mods. But maybe its time to play something not as good, but enjoy it anyway, because its something new, right? Hopefully the SMC mods will change all this, adding a lot more content out there.
3: Some people just don't care. SeN was, and still is, a prominent mapping community, even before Maplantis died and us modders came over. Obviously, we lost a lot of people (Which is odd, how dumb are you to refuse to move to another SC fansite?) in the transition between SeN and ML. So, we need to try to get some more people to start modding, or at the very least, to play mods.
4: Free beer?
Excuse me for being a heretic for trying to change our ways, but still, something needs to be done if we want to keep mod nights going strong.
Let the death threats begin!
If anything cool is ever going on Skype me up under the name "blarghle"
