Finally. TS3 is actually pretty decent, better than Vent, IMO.

It hasn't been updated in years and they never made a Linux client.

what makes OCN's stuff, OCN's stuff? I thought it was community? Does this apply to game servers as well? how do we contribute.. can we contribute to OCN text/chat? why doesn't OCN have an IRC channel?

You can advertise personal gameservers (ones that are not clan/site/community affiliated).
OCN had a text chat but it was removed as people couldn't behave themselves in a live environment and ending up getting banned for stuff that was easily avoided, also the moderation of the chat had to be 24/7 due to that and it was impossible to cover it.
OCN has no desire in a IRC or other text chat and even our TS server is not for general chit chat but for hanging out with other gamers whilst in game. One of the reasons is what happened in an IRC channel used by some of the folders.

You can advertise game servers on two conditions, those are:

• The channel being advertised is something completely inappropriate to the ToS that OCN wouldn't want to associate with e.g. an overly racist server.
• The channel is managed by a gaming company looking for some free advertising.

So something like racists-on-minecraft.com or random-gaming-company.com cannot be advertised, but something like paradigms-server-for-friends.com would be ok.

As for why OCN doesn't have their own text chat, management hasn't approved one. If you want to know why they haven't, a Manager could give you an official answer. However an educated guess says it's incredibly difficult and time consuming to moderate live chat in line with the ToS (which is applicable on all of OCN's services, whether it be the forum or an OCN game server).

EDIT - In comes Bitemarks with the ninja post.

Thanks guys!

Also strange... and strange. just cause one guy used IRC to do something dumb on on affiliated channel? well i get your point, it was tried once and people didn't behave but, the one with the news article is a strange example.

Thanks for the explanation. That makes A LOT of sense. I definitely see the issue there.
