If S_h_a_r_k_93 or Rico946 want to make this a Community Vote then I'm happy to go with the outcome of that. If Teamspeak is what everyone wants and would increase active players as you have both said then I will apply for the license and temporarily hide Donation stuff on the site, then I will have to work on a new Teamspeak Server Status module for the site. It will be a pain in the arse but possible.

I wasn't aware that there was a Non-Profit License for Teamspeak.

Whatever you say fam

No sarcasm, just facts.

I didn't say sound problems, I said lower sound quality which is certainly what I have experienced with Teamspeak.

Those Ventrilo vulnerabilities are for older versions which we do not use, either client side or server side and there are not nearly as many of them. Take a look at the search results yourself before sending a lmgtfy in future please.

Having looked into Teamspeak there is a Non-Profit License option: http://npl.teamspeakusa.com/ts3npl.php for self-hosting which could meet our needs but if you click through to "Continue to NPL Application" you will see that they even consider Donations as "profit"... Ridiculous when they are 100% spent towards our running costs. To apply for this license I would have to temporarily hide all Donation stuff on the site...

I was agreeing with you until that last post Star. Can't help but notice the pretty sarcastic tone.

Never had any sound problems with TS3. Obviously it wouldn't be as popular among gamers if the sound quality was inferior.

Concerning the look, it is true that TS3 looks more professional. However i don't really care cause I'm not in Ventrilo or TS3 to look at the program itself. It's for communicating ans that's all I care about.

I will continue to use Ventrilo, I just hope that it will be more frequently used.

Ps: goo.gl/sUhJb4

Depends how many slots, could be significantly more. Either way, there's no point throwing good money away for the sake of it. Especially when Donations have only hit the monthly target once.

That's nice, we don't all have the same ears either so not everyone will notice. My hearing ability is very strong.

Depends on your Windows Version / Desktop Graphics Settings. On Windows 10 it looks much better than the nasty TS3 UI to me:

Well said, completely agree.

Yes I like the open mindset star, thanks. well it indeed seems like there are two sides, one for ventrilo and one for ts3, I will accept ventrilo considering you're not the only one backing it up and like i said my major problem is solved (tx shark).

I understand this one... it would mean €20-30 more expenses a year...

I don't think you're right on this one, never had any "bad sound quality" feelings on TS3...

I understand this one, you have probably busted your ass off because of this...

What kind of "security" are you pointing at here? I don't think people are sending any virus through TS3? AND we're talking about private

Disagree, TS3 looks way better... Ventrilo is like '80s interface lol back to windows 98

Nice!
Yes, but not sure if you know them. ESL, Shifters, Undzwei

Some tournaments & leagues for Source. Not 1.6. You?
