Ventrilo

My apologies although there is no way to profit off hosting a ventrillo server my post has been edited for "advertising" although I am confused as to the logic behind calling that advertising it is the same as sharing your skype info or your msn, facebook etc. There is NO WAY to profit or make money off of a ventrilo server it is simply a program used to communicate it is not a "chat forum". It is not a website with ads. It is a stand alone program Just like skype and yet people can give their skype contact info without incident.

sorry I offered

I would also like to note that when I set up the ats channel in my server initially springer said it was a great idea.
I am really confused to my treatment to be honest.

umm, yeah, you are right. Now if on the server you started peddling some kind of product, I could see it- but really you'd have to be an idiot to try that with a bunch of ATSers on there. Jeez. I don't see the harm at all in a bunch of us getting on a ventrilo server to chat about the topics we discuss here??? I would also appreciate an explanation from the Above.

The issue isn't "advertising for profit" it's advertising your private server info to the world, that's not allowed because of our privacy policy and non- recruitment clause of the TAC.

Your skype name is not the same as giving out the password and server ID to a private ventrillo server.

What you were in effect doing is taking people away from our site to your vent server by using our site to advertise your server info. That is not allowed per the TAC.

And here's why...

Imagine if a few thousand members all decided to fire up a vent server and we let them all advertise their log ins here. ATS would be a mess in matter of days. The reality is if we let one we have to let everyone.

Use email or something OFF ATS to attract people to your vent server.

Well, I have to admit that does explain the action, and I agree. Thank you Springer.

But maybe you guys might consider such an ATS official voice chat server with ATS mods or designees, since there appears to be an interest in it...

I am surprised you would think I had any of those intentions in offering this channel. I understand your position but at the same time you said this was a good idea when I originally presented it several months ago. I would and have never tried to do anything to take people AWAY from ATS... as a matter of fact I have done a great deal to drive people here. I am somewhat hurt you would think that had anything to do with my post. I was just trying to help.

sorry.
