Free vent uses GSM codex and is limited to 8 concurrent connections. Paid for ventrilo is available only to hosting companies which you may rent ventrilo servers from. You pay per slot/time period for hosted ventrilo servers. Also, paid servers provide better codex like Speex.
Ventrilo sucks and Teamspeak is alright, But you managed to leave out the best software called Mumble. Mumble is open source and you can set up your own servers for free with no restrictions, plus Mumble is updated more often and can be linked with the forums so that there is no registration needed. Plus I think supporting Mumble for something like this falls more into SC2Mapster's ideology.
Sorry that you believe some one helping the community any way possible has no thought for you. The ventrilo was decided upon by a vote. If you don't want to use the ventrilo that the 30-50 of us already use. Thats up to you! You don't have to come on to ventrilo.
What I am saying is that setting up a Mumble server would of cost a lot less then renting a Ventrilo server plus it allows for better quality and uses up less bandwidth. Also a vote of 37 people doesn't represent the community at all, this isn't a decision that can be decided in a matter of a day or so by 37 people and expect it to represent everyone. To more accurately represent the community it should of been done along the line of how the contests are done.
I believe you don't need to get on vent if you are this upset about it. Someone was kind enough to provide this service, I don't understand why you are trying to make a big fuss making yourself out to look like a jerk. It's not like this was a thread with a poll asking:
It was his choice and he is simply asking for opinion. So well, it doesn't matter if the community want 1 or the other (free stuff, you dont get to choose :) ) Even if it was not accepted , he can still have his unofficial server.
For the hopes that everyone has accepted it we can aim for an official server! With as many people that use it and all the great time we have I sure hope its official! Just today we have had almost 200 connections.

I am just trying to say that I feel this wasn't chosen by the community itself and by a few people that just happened to be on at the time.
