I will answer your questions.

On Vent. I will be there to answer your questions about server policy as well as recent events.
I will be online tomorrow (Friday) at 3:00 PM -5 GMT.
This will be an organized discussion where I will do my best to answer anything about the server and how things operate such as the Chain of Command, ban decisions, and other general methods of madness.
Because there is the potential for chaos during this event I'm going to ask that you all begin posting questions in this thread for me to answer.
This will go as a first come, first serve type of deal. Sillier questions get pushed to the bottom of the list.

Guys and gals of the server: use this wisely, it has helped answer some of my questions about previous
issues, which I had not understood fully in the circumstances.
Thankyou for giving us some of your time, I think it shall be of great benefit.

Any of the several interested in the Shindig, it will not start until this Q&A has finished. There should not be a massive delay, but just so anyone interested knows.

Will there be any source for the information not on vent IE a forum where your answers will be posted? Vent hates my computer.

Unless someone wants to write them down as I talk, no.
Maybe someone can record it?

There is a record function built in to Vent.
I'll try to be there to act as moderator. There are ways of setting up a channel so that high-ranked users (ie. the mod team) get priority when speaking.

Here's how this is going to work, assuming Sneaky agrees. Questions will be able to be asked in the text chat (Hit the chat button on the right-hand side of the Vent window). Only the mod team will have the ability to speak. For the benefit of the users who will be listening to the recorded version, I'll read off the questions before Sneaky answers them.
Also, if anyone knows of a good program I can use to convert wav files to mp3 format, now would be the time to tell me.
Finally, if you have a question you want answered, but won't be able to ask in person at the event, post it here.

I'll bite, since this was clearly made for the discussion of such things:
What was the specific action that got Haxx banned, and what actions did he engage in previously to warrant such a final decision this time? And if you know, why was he banned rather than demoted to a regular player?

I wont be able to be on then, so good thing i don't have a question

I heard Haxx's opinion of why he started work on it without permission and would like to know whether it is true that "every time i suggested something it was ignored so i just stopped suggesting and did it".
apart from that will there be a new Mod to take his place?

I think itunes can do that. However i can be wrong.
Hmm, i think audacity can as well. If you want i can convert it.
EDIT: Yes it can be converted. I can do it if needed Sach.

I think this question would be a tad in poor taste. I won't throw anyone under the bus nor place blame on anyone for any recent events. I will however explain how I set up the Fab Five to function.

I have a question (no vent though). Wasn't Haxx's descision to make a spawn tower a good idea? I think it was.

fair enough... but everyone thinks they know who did so actualy saying may prevent a witch hunt of them.

There won't be a witch hunt Vall, I hope most people on here are more mature than that.
It was a group decision, and probably wasn't easy for them. There's no one person to blame.

If that's the case I encourage "everyone" to wait to hear facts before making any form of accusations on the matter because I can guarantee that most of them are wrong.

yeah but rampant speculation about this in gerneral is inevitable.
i mean. what were not supposed to think about the ramifications of one of our Admin's (and he was) getting banned? THATS
