This is potentially a problem, but the TS server is advertised on GameTracker, and is in the side block on the forums now, so it can already happen. While possible I don't see people joining a squad, finding out what the TS server is, and taking the time to connect just to troll while already in game.

Yes but you're going to get way more hits advertising it in-game than you would if people are going to the site. If they are here at the site they generally already have an idea that we mean business. You won't always get that advertising it in-game. Like I said, I think it would be a good idea, assuming we have enough admins to handle any issues that would arise from trolls/spammers.

Just make the squad name the www. TeamPlayerGaming .com

If your going have squad open I would encourage you to use in game VoIP. It works great now and it will maybe get others into the fold.

If in game VoIP works I agree with Tenrou that we should all be using it. In game chat is what brought most of us to TPG in the first place.

I'll key my squad voip to the same key as my TS and see what happens.

This. The info is public for a reason.

I did that as well and havent had any issues talking in both TS and the game. But if in-game VoIP is working, we do we even have TS in the first place?
