Female DoggoCakeMcrabbypants is my sister so if you see her on vent she isn't an imposter. I will encourage her to make a GWJ account.
She sounds... friendly?
Not that anyone used it, but I should note that the Mumble server listed in the OP is long gone. You should remove that info.
Has the password changed? Maybe that's it.
Edit: Or maybe I'm an admin? Instead of using my old "duckilama" user, I made a new one duckilamaGWJ and was able to connect. So, am I an admin? How do I find out my admin password, if so?
Only way I know is for another admin to change it and pm you the new one. I didn't chime in earlier because I'm not near a computer with Vent today.
So, I was trying to set up my ventrilo, but I keep getting that I can't connect.
Connected to server but unable to authenticate your login name and password...
I don't know if I'm doing it wrong(I did what the OP says) or if the server's down.
Anyone able to verify it's up?

Went through old PMs. Figured it out. All good. Move along.
Hey, aren't we about due to make donations to fund the server again? Wasn't it going to run out in February sometime?
I have paged TheWalt for the answer, Malor.
Clan Pay info is indeed in the OP.
The account holder has the option of requiring a minimum contribution of $5.00 USD or accepting a service fee of $0.50 USD for each contribution under $5.00.
Crap! Maybe it wasn't a good idea to jokingly donate a nickel 200 times.
A nefarious amount was donated by me.
Although I use it rarely I've dropped a drop into the bucket.
Hurrah!
Same here--I haven't used the vent server in awhile, but still donating just to keep it up and running
Already paid up? Any chance of moving to another provider, if not? The current server has been mighty unreliable for the past several months.
Cathadan pimped it in the LoL thread and we've been rallying to get some money in. The best marketing tactic is probably to post the fundraising info in the threads for games that get heavy vent use like League of Legends, TF2, and whatever else GWJ people play. I suspect most people don't check this thread after they get the server info.
Regardless, this community came through because Gamers With Jobs are awesome. Good work TheWalt.
Just put in my $5. Did we make it?!

Yeah, good work TheWalt. Thanks for years of service.
As far as games go, LoL and WoW seem two of the most used games. TF2 uses built in Steam chat. But someone made a thread in MMORPG forum and some monies are coming in from there.
I'll start documenting when it happens. It's not that the server is down...it's that the route to it is highly unreliable. 90% of the people will be constantly getting dropped while one or two remain connected.
This is fantastic! I feel a little grubby for not having donated, at this time.
Is there a protocol of sorts? For example, I would assume (hopefully correctly) that 'Single Player Coffee Shop' is channel for those who are playing through a campaign mode/story mode in one game or another and wish to converse sporadically while doing so.
Gamer A: "I just put a cannibal to the sword, in The Witcher!"
Gamer B: "Great! I'm still on that same level of Orcs Must Die! trying to five star it."
Gamer A: "Man, that was two hours ago."
Gamer B: "Oh! So that's why the wife is giving me evils. I told her one more go, just 15 more minutes." *face palm*
Gamer A: "She'll forgive you in the morning! Let's go on Left 4 Dead until then!"
What about multiplayer games that require more frequent chatter, yet do not have a dedicated channel? Is it okay to select an empty channel that is unlikely to see a sudden increase in popularity, such as 'Boardgames' which has three sub-channels. Perhaps that is what they are for?
My name is RnRClown, on Ventrilo, by the way. I do not know why I choose a different tag for this fine forum as my PSN, Steam, and Ventrilo all match up. I just felt like a change, and chaotic good used to be my favorite alignment choice in Baldur's Gate, while clown has always been an online handle since I was part of a Def Leppard forum back in the day. Mashed them together and got this!
Everything you mentioned sounds right on.
