KGB VENT SERVER UPDATED



See the HELP section for all the changes to KGB Secure Vent. We have relaxed some of the security to meet our current situation. A new password and relaxed restrictions await you.

One of the things I would like to see is a unified single vent. All the past should be water under the proverbial KGB Bridge. There is no reason SWTOR/GW2/PS2/CC/DDO/LoL/BF3 all cannot co-exist on one Vent in separate channels and no ones feathers get ruffled.

Make it happen.

I tried, I said KGB membership was not even required. I offered to drop any problems I had with anyone. It was completely ignored.

I cant force people to use KGB Secure vent.

I 2nd that Idea

You weren't ignored. Some people have power in Jonus' vent that don't have those privileges in KGB secure vent and they are either comfortable there or don't want to relinquish that power. Human nature. I personally use Jonus' vent because when I do check in on the other vent no one is there except maybe one or two idlers...

I would share admin with just about any KGB member. Not going to happen with non-members is the only catch.

For years there was a huge population in KGB Secure Vent. Right now there is only DDO and DFO and they both have small populations. DFO is currently in alliance vent.

Crimecraft and Planetside 2 aswell (still small) Im usally on that vent but i dont get home till late I hop over to oldschool sometimes and usally every one is afk

Im buying kgb there own dedicated server soon :P Very soon.

We have a great one that is real cheap now, lets talk about this in private!

Relaxing vent rules is all-around great idea, but I still don't think it was relaxed enough. In my opinion, there is no need for our vent to be secure. There are no games (that I am aware of) that we engage in that require hush-hush secrecy of individualized, password protected accounts.

You can always create separate passwords for "need-to-know" chat rooms.

Rest of the vent should be "whatever", I imagine if all KGB used vent all the time you'd be hard pressed to have time when admin is not on to kick misbehaving people.

I see Vent as a community-building tool, more barriers we put in place for using it, more barriers exist for the community formation/continuation.

As of right now we have KGB forums, it isn't hard to rotate password every month to keep strangers out. Every KGB member should and could log-in into forums to get this month's password. That is all security we ever need! Having separate secure forum structure AND secure vent structure is highly redundant.
