A weeks notice:
Borderlands comes out next week and according to this we might want a few team subchannels.

I doubt it because you can't turn off the mic for in game voice chat. Having both vent and in game voice chat at the same time isn't going to fly. See the actual Borderlands thread.

Unfortunately, you're right. Guess I'll have to poke this thread again when Gearbox decides to design the vc correctly.

The vent server has been acting up the past few days. Today it is ping spiking for some people (probably everyone). It probably needs a restart.

Done

I am still ping spiking to the server. I have another vent server using the same host where I have no issues (though it might be a server in a different city). If this is still happening to everyone we should contact the host. At this point the vent server is almost unusable.

I'd also like to request a couple Borderlands sub channels.

Presto.

Allrighty, I'm back stateside... browsing the thread, looks like trowan and LiquidMantis have kept the Ventrilo ship floating upright...

If there are any issues, this thread is where you can raise em up the flagpole!

Random Russians are channel hopping griefing people with stupid sh*t. Just asked me if they could buy some weed...after I didn't answer they moved to the next channel and started in again.

Sounded French to me but I took care of them.

It's the Libyans! Run for it, Marty!

Any chance that I could get kick/ban rights to take care of some of the spammers? Had some obnoxious people spamming yesterday with the narrator voice. Gaald can vouch for me that im not a douche.

Can we have a "Star Trek Online" channel created for the upcoming beta and release. Maybe a few subchannels, say "Captain's Yacht", "Ten Forward", "Holodeck 3", "Engineering". Thanks.

Star Trek Online channel is a go! Let me know when you need sub-channels, and I'll add some - it seems like the server is very cluttery at the moment. I wonder if there are any channels that we can safely delete in the name of cleaning things up. Maybe there's a hidden feature that tells you which channels are getting used or something.

I have another request. We are trying to revive the Demigod night on Wednesdays and I would like the Demigod channel name changed from "Demigod" to "Demigod (Wednesday Nights)" if possible. Thanks.

Seriously?

I don't blame him for wanting to spread the word any way he can; as some of us were discussing in another thread recently, we could really stand to once again have a place where all of GWJ's online happenings is listed.

Does this sound like a problem anyone here has had before?

"At first I couldn't get it to work on the open mic setting and then later (under push to talk) it just stopped working while we were still playing. To get my mic working again both times I had to disable the mic in the sound settings and then re-enable it. Never had any problems using Skype or in game chat of any kind before, so it has to be an issue with how I have Vent set up or something--but why would Vent disable my mic for use in any other program?"

I'd like to request a Burnout Night channel. A couple of us have been joining for a weekly event.

For cleanliness sake you could probably delete Aion, America's Army, Darkfall, and Free Realms. I've never seen anyone use those, and if they do feel free to say so. Borderlands doesn't need Teams either.

password still mmmkay?

I'm having issues connecting, but I know I was on before I switched to windows 7.

using User name "Stylez" and the listed ip and port.

All that is now done. If anyone's favorite channel got deleted, please say so and I'll put it back.

I also deleted all the sub-rooms for the Battlefield series of games, as I'm unaware of any time where we've had a BF2 game and a BF2142 game happening simultaneously.

I would keep the BF2142 & BFBC2 channels until everyone switches, Thursday has had both groups on.

Okay, I'll put them back tonight, when I get home from work, or someone else can do it sooner if they like.

I am having trouble connecting to the vent server this morning. It says it cant authenticate my name and password. My vent name is the same as my forum name.

edit: Nevermind I guess I needed to re-enter the password.

What- what do you need to do? I'm running Win7 and get the same message. I have the password mmmkay entered in the server section. I notice that when I enter the password I show six dots in the line, but after the authentication error the password line has eight dots in it.

The vast majority of login problems lately have been people who have forgotten that they have specific logins which confer privileges on the server. This means you.

This might not be the best place for this but here goes: (I'll move this to Tech/Help if that would be a better forum.)

I'm having trouble getting Vent to pick up my mic. I use it all the time with Skype, and Vista picks it up fine also. In Vent though I had to turn the sensitivity way up for it to even recognize I was talking; this was after 2 hours of trying to get it to recognize my mic at all. Any thoughts?

Hey I'm lookin' to play some Battlefield sometime, so could I get some current pw info for the server? Thanks.

That info is all in the original post.

Oh thanks, I'm dumb. It didn't work the first time I tried it, all good now.
