Forum: <IoW> silEnT Server Topic: IoW Teamspeak 3 Server End of Life Notification ------------------------------------------------------- BECK: Just a fair warning - we will no longer continue paying for the TS3 server after it expires on Jun 11, 2018. I think people are wanting to move to Discord, so I have removed auto-rebilling on the TS3 server.This is not a financial issue, we usually get generous donations from our members to cover the bills, but more of a desire to move to something else.I have never used Discord, but I hear it is really good and free. So as of Jun 11, 2018 - the payment runs out on the current TS3 server and we'll be moving to something else. Exactly what that is is up to the community.I will not be able to set up anything or coordinate anything for this. Vitorcr: I've heard good things of Discord too, but I only used it a few times a long time ago. Probably would be a good idea to create a Discord server before June and see how it goes. I enjoy talking to you guys, so I'm up to use anything that works for y'all. ontheqt: If anyone would like to stay in touch with me, my Discord id is ontheqt #7673 LiQuId: I had previously set up a discord channel for IOW when TS was down, the link is : https://discord.gg/bcFyZH feel free to use it or we can always create something new Jayd: Awww :( neurosis: Do you need an invite to join the discord channels or? ontheqt: LiQuId wrote (View Post): › docWrite("quote")I had previously set up a discord channel for IOW when TS was down, the link is : https://discord.gg/bcFyZH feel free to use it or we can always create something new I joined. I have also set up a discord channel called BeerMe for fun.The link is: https://discord.gg/qhzPHc BECK: So I've seen some discussions about keeping the TS server. I've got a warning that it will expire in 5 days.If anyone wants to keep it (Liquid, I think we discussed this), please feel free to pay the outstanding bills.I think you can do that through the TS client, but I'm not sure. But my CC is no longer on record for auto-renewal, so it will expire in a few days. I can see what donation cash I have in Paypal and could also pay for a few months too if needed.Just let me know how to proceed. Venom: This is the permanent IoW Discord link https://discord.gg/6hRTR4y If we decide to keep TS, thats fine. If not, use that link and hit me up on steam so I can set your permissions.

I have also set up a discord channel called BeerMe for fun.The link is: https://discord.gg/qhzPHc I'd prefer to keep TS. I don't see the warning about expiration though when I login in to TS. I used to see it. Maybe I don't have the same permissions?I can pay for it or donate to cover it. I know Liquid would too. HalfBak3d: Okay, picked it up for another 6 months. Sin: I know I don't use TS anymore but you guys should just accept Discord. It's free, no more having to pay for voip, and its unlimited slots. Why pay when there is a free alternative that is arguably better anyway? Discord has much more potential than TS ever could have. It'd be like having a second forum basically with game tracking, twitch support, file sharing, and video chat. Like I said, I don't really have a horse in this race but it seems kind of dumb to keep TS around when Discord is the future. It's a community hub more than just a voip. I think you guys should just accept the change and try to get used to it rather than wasting money on TS.:two_cents LiQuId: My apologies everyone, I was out of town for the weekend and did not see this until now. Sorry baked I didn't mean for you to have to front the bill, I can pay you back, also Beck you can add my CC to the account so that it can auto renew if that's ok. BECK: no worries.I wouldn't have expired for another 7 days. @Sin I understand your argument.I also don't really have a horse in the race because I haven't been using TS either lately. But I do know people asked to keep it, so if someone is willing to throw down a few bucks to keep it, no harm no foul. Venom: As far as Im concerned, Im with Sin on this. Everything about Discord is just better. The fact that its free is a no brainer. Our discord server will always be there when we make the switch. No rush Nort: the reason i am a proponent for keeping TS is that we have our established URL for TS connection which people know. We just drop TS and goto discord and people won't know where to go to connect as they usually don't connect to our forums. So at minimum i would say it should be advertised on the server 1 month before, and and a few months after if we are going to switch. Rather then just make a switch with no public announcment. I know the finances are good, becuase i had just donated $250 myself a month of two back which covers the server bills and TS at least into this winter.
