AJ Vent Server and Beta Guild

[Tyveris]

AJ Vent Server
http://www.arenajunkies.com/vent/

Hey guys, as promised we now have a vent server up and running. It has a 100 person limit (which we will up if the demand is there). Right now, we created a bunch of generic channels. If you have any ideas for new channels, or would like to request a personal channel, please let us know (Personal channels will be created based on user contributions to the site such as posting, content submissions, etc.). Expect the rules and setup to change as we sort through the issues as we have never tried to run a vent server this big.

Here is how access works. We will have a script continually adding new users based on the order the request access. You must be registered here to get a vent account, and you must request access to get in the queue. This page (http://www.arenajunkies.com/vent/) will allow you to request access, find your initial password, and see where you stand in the queue. The script is only about 95% automated, so if it says Account Creation: Paused, it means new accounts are not being created at the moment. They will be created at a pace of 1 per ~5 seconds, so expect your wait time based on that.

Also, once you have access, if you are interested in helping moderate the vent server, please respond in this thread. People who abuse the vent server can expect action to be taken against their account here.

EDIT: Any feedback on the codec would be greatly appreciated. Is it clear enough, too bandwidth intensive, etc.?

Beta Guild
A few of us are now in beta, and we know from the threads many of you are as well. We created a guild, if you are interested in joining just do a /who ArenaJunkies and ask for an invite. We are currently on the Horde PvP Server, but if someone wants to get an Ally guild going, please feel free. We figured this might aid in testing new content and testing the pvp more effectively.

1st


Also first to request access... Says:

"Position in Approval Queue: 1 / 1

Account Creation: Active"

Yet Im not getting anywhere now... no forwarding to a new page for a PW or anything. Problem possibly?

[Tyveris]

It just takes a minute, go back to the page and click show password as your account is now created.

[Zonnza]

Took a while for the show password thing to pop up, finally got it after refreshing the page

Thnx


time to go be bored and read forums

[Shaeden]

This page (http://www.arenajunkies.com/vent/) will allow you to request access, find your initial password, and see where you stand in the queue.

So I assume you can change the password?

edit: nvm I guess it will just be automatic

[Tyveris]

So I assume you can change the password?
I believe everyone can change their password, but I am not totally sure how to do it. If not, these should be incredibly secure and impossible to guess.

[Zonnza]

I would say that you would have to request a PW change from an admin, altho it seems pointless since u only need to type it in once.

What I usually do for vents with PWs is in the name of the vent I would add at the end "PW: (password)"

That way I know what it is incase I need it later.

[Shaeden]

This is pretty cool, I hope it's more active than the AJ chat is.

[Tyveris]

Hopefully, it will just take a bit to get everyone accounts who needs to use it. And if it isn't incredibly swamped, we can turn on guest access for a bit to make it more accessible.

[Faile]

Cool, checking it out now.

Edit: Disparity's on Vent!

[Faile]

Oh btw, you might consider adding a WotLK channel or something like that.
Also, I could probably do some moderating if you want, but I've never moderated Vent before. ;)

[Idgit]

Awesome idea and great job managing to implement it! Now maybe I can get somebody to teach me how to play! :D

[Infekt]

Sweet, I can help moderate if needed.

[Popewest]

Yeah i wouldnt mind helpnig moderate aswell, i also have experience as an admin :) or moderater

[Hosebeast]

i'm interested in helping moderate the ventrilo server

[Liolin]

Nice idea, Tyveris.

[Disparity]

i'm interested in helping moderate the ventrilo server

yea too bad like 100 other ppl will want to too

[Liolin]

yea too bad like 100 other ppl will want to too

Tyveris asked people to demonstrate their intent to volunteer to help moderate.

[Tyveris]

Tyveris asked people to demonstrate their intent to volunteer to help moderate.
Basically this. 100 people moderating isn't a bad thing as all 100 won't be on at the same time. Just need to figure out the right permissions and I will start flagging people.

[Popewest]

Aslong as there isnt too many dicks, sound be a very good thing :)

[biscuitsbiscuits]

wait... rofl what do you do with the login information when you get it? lolz--where do you put it in :o

[Popewest]

You have to use Snox as your vent account name, and itll give you a personal pw to use.

[Liolin]

wait... rofl what do you do with the login information when you get it? lolz--where do you put it in :o

Login to Vent with the same name as your AJ account, and then input the password in the password field for AJ.

[biscuitsbiscuits]

Oops, done :)

[Mickster]

Tyveris, some people are already being lame with their mics, (playing music and shit and breathing loudly), i'd like to help moderate the server if you would like me to help.

We are going to put together a list of people interested and start assigning it out. In the meantime:

Right Click => User => Lodge complaint, and let us know.

[Duckers]

[Wildo]

Nice sounds good

[doops]

[Tyveris]

Will continue access requests in the AM. Please get them queued up though.

[Tyveris]

One last flush cause I hadnt gone to bed yet :P

[Adori]

[Cantis]

One last flush cause I hadnt gone to bed yet :P

woot im in lol ty....but no one was talking lol

[Pyrilus]

I was in there giving advice :P

[Duckers]

I've almost lost my voice already from screaming battlegroup names in empty channels for some reason.

[Cerenity]

I can help moderate the server as well if needed.

[ArcadeRenegade]

Noo Tyveris went to bed!


Now I wait to get in on this AJ vent juicy goodness until tomorrow!?!?

/cry

[Slappywag]

No one is even on, what's the rush?

[Pollox]

Great with a aj vent.

[Sodah]

my ass cant log in

edit: nm my ass just logged in

[Tyveris]

It can now, takes ~15 to go through the 160 this morning.

[Speedo]

i think your gonna need alot more than 100 slots :O

[Tyveris]

Heh, we will see. I figure it could take a week or so before it starts to ramp up to full capacity just because of the requesting access process.

[dotsalot]

Tyveris I am interested in moderating the vent server I have a lot of experience with them

[ArcadeRenegade]

Whats the password to the rant channel?

[Disparity]

Whats the password to the rant channel?go to rant room and read the post he doesnt want to post in in the public

[ArcadeRenegade]

go to rant room and read the post he doesnt want to post in in the public

What rant room?

[Kalamazi]

how long does it usually take? i've been in queue for 3 or 4 hours now xD

[ArcadeRenegade]

tyveris has to approve so it takes as long as it takes for him to get to his computer

[Tyveris]

I've got to be around to force it. Best thing to do is get in the queue, and then it only takes 5 seconds per position once it is active.

[Duckers]

What rant room?
Then no password for you! :mad:

[Adori]

Then no password for you! :mad:

Should give me the password I wanna be a cool kid too :(

[Final]

What rant room?

Basically if you don't understand what it means you're not worthy.

[Calamitous]

Hrm, I'm getting a login/password authentication error. I double checked the message I got when I registered and the information is all correct, I also simply copy/pasted the password. My vent username is the same as my account name here (I think).

Try one more time, it sends out the PMs slightly prematurely.

[Tyveris]

Done, sorry :P

[Glave]

[Tyveris]

We are shutting down the vent server. It isn't very heavily used, and our current access system isnt really sustainable.
