It is not hard to set up your own TS server and give out the IP. Best to have a simple PW as trolls often enter just to scream or blare some shit song.

Even worse is the people who aren't necessarily trolls, but are just wierd and awkward and you are like "How do I kindly say go away?"

So your real feelings come out. 

There's one that was advertised for general use. Not sure how many people use it though it appears to have multiple games on it.

Not you, BRQ man....

Tis mine, umm theres normally myself (redhead) and soviet on. We get proletari, Ghondie, Sepo and a few others one. It'd be nice to see more people getting on. So.. do so.

I'm assuming that you're referring to the server listed above: "Game On!" ? 

Yup,Game on. You can only access public channels until i change your member group

Went into your TS, had no permissions and couldnt reach anyone >.<

Yeah, I haven't ever really seen anyone ever on that server, plus, as you said, the permissions are all weird and screwed up (since I didn't make it).  The last two games I've played though I have just used Skype: it's clearer and does not lag nearly as much as Teamspeak.  Plus, I think that more people have Skype than Teamspeak.  So I'm starting to get into the habit of whenever I join a game I ask if anyone has Skype and is willing to chat during the game.

i have been asking that to, people always refuse though. I think they think im a kid or something cuz i tell them im new to the game lol
