    So I've been looking at the channel listings, and I'm thinking of going through and doing a purge since there's a LOT that are going un-used most of the time. What groups still actively use their channels?

    Also, I'm kind of curious to how many unique peeps actually read this thread and use the server. So I threw together a poll. Click yes once.

    Going back to the first point, I've been debating of doing some channels that are behind a non-public password wall, in case there's a group that truly doesn't want to be bothered by random spammers in case there isn't a admin on to deal with them. It'd be a password that'd only get handed out to people we know are forum regulars, and shouldn't be passed around to randos you may be playing with.

    I took the poll. =P The only people I see regularly using vent nowadays are the HotS folks and a dozen-or-so regulars who seem to use it for whatever. We used it for MWO as well, but that game is pretty much dying and it doesn't seem like the PA folks can consistently get groups going.

    hi i took the poll and i made a donation because i realized i've been using this since i've been in high school and i'm actually a working professional now

    I mostly just use one or 2 of the lobby channels, and am on at least every other day for a bit. We could definitely reduce the number of lobbies we have, I haven't seen them full for quite some time.

    I can also help with passworded channels if someone sees me on and they want a bit more privacy as an admin.

    Yeah I always look at them with the delete key longingly in hand. Definitely good to trim 'em down, just never sure what people use.

  • PikaPuffPikaPuff Registered User regular
    once or twice I just deleted every channel and rebuilt from scratch.
    -Chat
    -Game Rooms
    --Game Room 1
    --Game Room 2
    --Game Room 3
    -Idle

    Then let everything grow from there. Channel Names, more channels, whatever was needed.

    the poll options confused me so I just went with the safe vote and put pudding

    which is mostly meant to say "I come here every once and a while when people tell me to (aka for HotS)."

    Is the server info in the FirstPost current? I didn't see it time-stamped or dated.

    At least for Vent, the info in the big bold letters (vent15) at the top is correct. My quote's a older version, I think it's still there due to the donation link being in it.

    At 10pm "Hoosier" came into the Moba channels and started screaming at everyone. We muted him and he moved on to the shooter channels, where he's currently harassing everyone as I type this.

  • PMAversPMAvers Registered User regular
    Didn't see this until now, did some log diving and slapped him with a ban in case he tries to come back.

    A @ helps out a ton, since I might not notice that someone posted in the thread.

    No worries, I'll remember that. Also, I took the poll and I agree with @Inquisitor77 that I spent about 99% of my time in the moba channels and that's really where I feel like the server's primary activity's located.

    I've been using the channels for MMO gaming (SWTOR and Wildstar).

    9:50pm "Sea Mother" came into the Moba channels and started yelling / making loud groaning noises repeatedly. Muted him, then he came back as "Sea_Mother" and repeated the behavior. Then he came back as "Roger_Bacon" and did it again. Then he came back as "Koudelka" and did it again. Then he came back as "Halley" and did it again.

    Looked at the logs, and hit him with a IP ban.

    Had a guy come into Thoma's Hangout about 1:15central named "Duncan," "8Spring8Field8", "Sprngfld", and a few others and start acting like he was masturbating in the channel.

    I've taken down the PA TeamSpeak 3 server. With Vent and Discord these days it wasn't seeing much use. It's been a pleasure serving the PA community :)

    There's no one official one yet, I'm part of 2 or 3 that are just different groups of PA guys. If we ever decided to retire Vent, we should be sure to make a main hub one for all of G&T sometime.

    Since the Vault 7 release from wikileaks, Mordrack has been missing from vent. Coincidence?

    Well @Mordrack was on steam 18 hours ago and I know we got that discord channel setup.

    Or, he's a spy. He's probably a spy.

    There is, in fact a Discord, and there's no one in it!

    We had a custom discord setup for Overwatch G&T, but someone had the bright idea to consolidate all PA into one PA discord. I.E. the "official one".

    Could we get a new channel/room in the Penny Arcade Official Discord dedicated for Overwatch if possible? I'll make a post and update the OP for Overwatch in the G&T thread.

    Let's see what I can do.....

    EDIT Made a single voice channel for now. We'll have to see how many people are going to use it to gauge how many we need to amke in the end.

    So @Mordrack has been missing from vent for several months now.

    He's also been offline Steam for quite a while, which is highly unusual for him.

    Hope you're doing okay Mordrack.

    Update: Mordrack is just off the internet. Doing okay, thus meeting Sniperguy's hopes.

    This makes me happy. Though I'm still salty he's not on vent. I should prepare a speech when he returns.
