Who was it again that is hosting the ventrilo and/or website and what are the costs involved? Have we been close to hitting the limit for our current Ventrilo server? I am fairly new to Ventrilo so don't know one hosting company from another, but I did check out a few of the hosting links on Ventrilo's page and saw 50 user servers for around $15USD/mnth.
I know there has been a bit of discussion about this. I would be willing to share costs / maybe pay for a month of the services. Paypal would be preferred.

I'm with Jorack. Vent is a important tool of the guild and shouldn't have to come out of the pocket of one person. I would be more than happy to chip in.

I currently run the Vent server, it's hosted through ventriloservers.biz. That host was recomended to me by a couple folks, it's stable with a good connection and when you can set it up, you can choose the region of your server. I chose NY because the majority of our members are on the east coast.
It has 25 slots at the moment and a couple times we have come close to that limit (anyone remember when I hosted my own server that only had 8 slots? bleh) A server with 50 slots is $14.95 a month and I haven't had the cash/chance to upgrade it.
If y'all want to donate, it would be awesomefantastic! I'm a starving artist after all. :)
Paypal should be linked to my email address, sharlen@gmail.com

Thanks!
I was just billed for the server today and when I tried to upgrade it wanted me to pay the whole $15 on top of the $10 I already paid. I sent them an email to see if they will let me pay the difference or just set it up to upgrade me on the next billing cycle.

I got a response from the dude, he said that it would be prorated with what I've already paid so the server has been upgraded to 50, should last us for quite a while.
Woot! All hail the rich and powerful Rinader!
Okay and the half-naked drunk Torrin.

And if you paypal Torrin money, you'll get to find out his real name. Then you can stalk him...and his beard.

And Lo, did the brave men and women of the Secret Victorious reap the benefits of being composed primarily of voting adults with thine own time and money, thus upgrading Ventrilo without the bogarting of thine Mommy's Platinum Visa and going henceforth into the realm of the grounded.

Well, based on the most recent RPGO info, it would only take $1.39 per guildee to pay for one year of the vent server!
Anyway, I just sent Torrin something thru PayPal. I'm not sure what, but he might be getting a rubber chicken. Damm internet...
