Silkroad Online Forums

So how about one? I know we had one before, except I never got to getting on it, so I don't really know how popular it was.

I'm sure if we looked we could find a free server somewhere, even though some members said they would help in part to pay for it. It also would give a vent to the funds that having google ads in the sidebar as I suggested some time ago. With the united support of members, be it clicking ads, or actually contributing time/funds, it seems to be possible.

I posted this in Site Discussion as well, but so few people read said forum, that a larger response would undoubtedly be generated here.

In any case users seem to be onboard, but it would be much more of a success if the staff were as well.

*The Numbers*

Assuming that about half the active (i.e. users online)SRF community was on vent at any given time, our own vent server would cost only $7.50-$15.00 a month, depending on how many people would actually be on it. $7.50 is the price for a 35 person limit, which seems to be plenty. $15 a month is the cheapest price I could find for a 100 person server. On the smaller side, assuming half of everyone on SRF who is online at any given time isn't up to getting on vent, a server could cost as little as $3 a month for a 10 people limit, or $6 for a 25 person limit.

~Cheapest Vent. Hosting I could find is at http://www.typefrag.com/

So what do you think?

*EDIT: WE GOT IT!!*

Here's the info of SRF's Brand-Spanking-New Vent Server:

IP: 69.12.30.141

Port: 2367

See you all there!

Remember to log in using the new Ventrilo 3.0 Client, or it will not work.

i think more chance on vent users in there.
i believe most of the former srf vent users were otl-lurkers

Seriously, I'm willing to pay monthly for a SRF vent. Just linkme to the site where I have to register/pay and I'll do it.

try http://www.dchservers.com

They have promo deals and if you buy it now, the price will never go up for you


I pay $16 for a 100 tic 16 slot CSS server, they have other deals as well - and I think I paid like 3$ for our 20 person vent?

Snudge, I'll pay too, if I haven't yet is because I can't host it.. my connection blows =D
Just post here how much it is and I'll pay as much as I can

Slightly cheaper, is http://www.typefrag.com/

The prices I quoted in my original post came from there.

Just to put more money in the pockets of the donators

Ok, I'll be ordering a server from Typefrag for us, one question; What size do you guys think is OK?

i'll join a vent after this week, when my presentations are over

Snudge wrote:Ok, I'll be ordering a server from Typefrag for us, one question; What size do you guys think is OK?

um maybe a 20 slot.. depends how many ppl we get

I was asking for sizes. >_>

Anyway, it'll take a while anyway, so you guys can discuss it. I have to send money to my PP first.

EDIT;

Typefrag sizes;

10
15
25
35
50
75
100

i think anywhere between 25 and 35 would be good

<3 you.

Can we get a channel for wc3? Me and my buds need a vent server to use T_T
