TECH ON VENT IS ALIVE
A couple of us have purchased, and setup, a Ventrilo server for use by members of Tech-Forums.net!
This Ventrilo server is for use only by members of this forum!
:Login Information:
.::HOSTNAMES::.
64.21.16.232
.:ORT::.
3846
.:ASSWORD::.Currently there is no password required
:FAQ:
BY GETTING ON THIS VENTRILO SERVER, YOU ARE LETTING THE OWNERS OF THIS VENTRILO SERVER KNOW THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS ENTIRE POST!!
There are a few things that you will need to know about this server, so let this serve as a FAQ if you will:
WHAT IS VENTRILO?
Ventilo is a Voice over IP (VoIP) communication method widely used by friends, family and gamers in the world of technology.
WHY USE VENTRILO?
The answer to this is relatively simple. A little while ago a thread was started about creating a community Ventrilo server for all of us to use in order to accomplish a few things:
1) Get to know the TF community better
2) Play games with each other while on Ventrilo
3) Discuss technology together via voice just like we do here on the forums via text
WHAT DO I NEED IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE?
Let's start basic. The first thing you need is a sound card.....yes, I said basic The next thing you need is a microphone. Or, if you don't have a mic and you are playing a game with someone, you can simply listen and use text replies.
The next thing you need is the application.
DOWNLOAD THE VENTRILO CLIENT HERE
From that page, you can choose your client, download and install the application.
After installing the application, simply use THIS GUIDE for step by step instruction.
This will get you started, the rest of the potential troubleshooting we will hash out along the way....(mic troubles, push-to-talk troubles, inbound and outbound sounds and events, etc.)
This application is pretty simple but there are a lot of things that you can tweak in order to gain performance.
IS THERE A VIDEO TUTORIAL ON THIS SETUP PROCESS?
Sure Is, click here.
IS THIS FREE FOR TF MEMBERS?
Yes! Absolutely
IS THIS FREE FOR THE ADMIN?
No
WELL, DARN MAN, THAT'S MESSED UP...CAN I HELP THE ADMINS OUT?
Yes
HOW?
If you wish to donate anything, even a dollar, please notify an admin (Currently HAVOC2k5 and Mikesgroovin). But please don't think that this is a pay service. We want to drive, to the members of techist.com, the fact this is FREE!
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN USE THIS SERVER?
Currently, we can have 50 people online.
IS THIS VENTRILO SERVER RUN, IN ANY PART, BY TECH-FORUMS.NET?
Absolutely Not. We wish to make very clear that this Ventrilo server is not owned, nor run by any part or portion of Tech-Fourms.net. On that note, since this is in no way affiliated with TF, the rules will be different as well.
:Rules:
The rules are EXTREMELY SIMPLE...
1. Spamming will result in a ban (This means channel spamming, phonetic spamming, page spamming, etc.)
2. Fighting will result in a ban (This means that it will be up the admins on a per incident basis.....keep it simple folks....No one wants people yelling at each other.)
3. Although there will be little control over the language people use, PLEASE BE CURTIOUS TO OTHERS. Persons under the age of 18 must also keep in mind that if you are in an environment where the people on this Ventrilo server can be heard and frowned upon, PLEASE LET SOMEONE KNOW SO THAT WE CAN REMAIN CURTIOUS
4. Please logout of the server when you are going to be away for more than an a few hours or so. (This won't really be enforced do to the number of slots we have versus users that will be on....But, just thought I should mention it)
5. If you wish to use this server for an event or small tournament, please feel free! If you are going to be bringing a group larger than 5 people, PLEASE ASK THE ADMIN FIRST. The last thing I want to see is a random guild raid of 40 people in Molten Core (or something similar)
6. THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE .... The Admins reserve the right to change any of these rules at any time
Ok, folks, that's good for now. I'm sure that we will be adding to this post later on at issues arise.
Hope to see you all on vent!
