I'm starting to get the feeling that your not human. Just some fancy computer AI, that will eventually steal money from me somehow.
What a fancy AI computer would do with money is a good question, but this is the bunny we are talking about. Watch your back folks!
Edit: Come to Champion. It's a great server.

Well, any active server should have something to interest you. Your list includes the 1st, 2nd and 4th most active servers (I don't know how Victory ranks). Infinity is #3.
I'm mostly on badge channels but Infinity Hamidon is a general TF channel for the 99% of the time where there isn't a Hamidon raid taking place or being planned.

I've been trying a lot of the global channels on various servers and they have been mostly filled with "We need X" and "Speed TF runs or kill alls... what else is there". I'm trying to get the least amount of that stuff. I'm looking for: "hey, come on down bring whatever and we'll go shoot stuff and be fine" when forming Task Forces.

Have you checked out Pinnacle yet? The standard battle cry there seems to be, "Here, hold my beer. I got this." This seems to apply to everything from grey con minions to Hamidon.

I do this for each and every Task Force and Strike force regardless of who's on my team and what the common perception of "this is how this TF is done" may be.

I think you should start your own global channel. I'd join it in a second.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Call it the "Close Eyes Throw Fireball" channel. 
I'd join.

I greatly enjoy LBx on Liberty and Pinnbadges on Pinnacle. There are some speed run TF talk, but mixed in with a lot of friendly chatter as well. I got Task Force commander through Pinnbadges with nary a bad/annoying team, almost always just a lot of fun.

Victory is weird. It's usually in the 6-8 range, but I've seen it at the lowest rank, and I've seen it squeeze between Virtue and Infinity on occasion.
Consider us a mid-population server.
@Roderick
Why in the [censored] would you want to leave Virtue... All the rest of those servers are dead. 
You'd probably like the Jello Shooters channel on Protector, like you, they don't want me around. They also like chatting a lot and blowing stuff up. Great Minds Think Alike?

In the interests of full disclosure, you should all know that Smurphy is only looking elsewhere because he's already gotten everybody of each of the above servers killed on one of his mad SF/TFs. 
It's a trap!

I loved doing ITF with him/her/it.
It was amusing.

Lies! He hsn't killed any of my toons yet!
Mostly because he hasn't run any TFs on Victory while I've been available yet.
@Roderick
lbx is pretty good for nonspecific team builds on liberty. There are some speed runs, but most of the tf's i have run with them have been fairly "beat up everyone in front of us"

Meh. Any good server global channel is full already anyways, so you wont get in unless you are already a member.
They really gotta do something about the 2500 global limit for those channels- theres never more then 200 people on at once, yet the channel capacity is set to 2500 globals no matter how many are on at any time.
So people who havent played in years are probably taking up half the old global channels space, and newer players and those moving to new servers have no space to join.

This statement is very far from the truth. Many global channels are full. Certainly not all of the good ones. Most of the full ones I consider "bad".
I think I've found the ideal server for me
The server mostly contains people who are not concerned with earning experience. I can play with any City of Heroes player so no worrying about eventually spreading myself to every live server. New and exciting things are sometimes there and nowhere else. Test.
I'm looking to expand and branch out to more servers. I'm a quirky, needy, spoiled and picky player and I'd like to start off with the servers with global channels that are the best match for me.
Most important to me is a global channel with a large amount of players who like to blow stuff up. I don't participate on teams that say "we need x" but I can understand that different players have different styles of what is fun to them. I can tolerate some "team looking for x" stuff but I heard one channel say something like "We have thermal shields and force fields but we need an emp healer for this TF". I'd prefer to look elsewhere if that is the predominant/common thing in the global channel.
I also understand that some people like to sometimes do speed runs or kill all runs or other things. I want to open the door to the mission and shoot the guys I see between the end and me. I don't do "tactics" or "strategy". The extent of my playskill is "close eyes" "throw fireball". I'm going to turn the difficulty to 5 and run at the bad guys. I do this for each and every Task Force and Strike force regardless of who's on my team and what the common perception of "this is how this TF is done" may be. Statesman and Recluse Task/Strike Forces included.
Currently I have a huge presence on Freedom. I have no problem filling up teams with my friend list alone. I greatly enjoy playing on Virtue already. I've got a few global channels there where I can form up Task Forces with all my pick and quirky needs. I've also already branched out to Justice and Victory.
So besides those 4 servers I'm looking to branch out to another with a great Global Channel community. I can tolerate players who like other playstyles. I understand different people like different things.
