Let's hope nothing like that ever happens on this server again.
When Protector Vigilance was created I was invited to OP in it, but sincerely never invested the time / effort it needed to take off since I was more involved in other activities at the time.
Not so anymore.

I spent most of Double XP weekend on Protector soloing. I hung around IP a lot but, besides an excellent Lusca hunt, I never managed to scare up a team or luck into a Sister Psyche TF. Not that I was trying terribly hard to make my own team so no one's fault but my own. Most of my friends play Justice so I don't really know anyone around here.
Is there a good global for finding folks, especially for TF's? Jello Shooters seems to be the main channel, is it still active? Protector Vigilance seems to be the only recently advertised global, is it useful for this?

Jello Shooters is a popular "all around" channel for most activities. A good number of Protector players hang out there. The conversations are uncensored and sometimes "adult level".
Protector Watch is, as far as I know, the first public channel made on Protector for monster sightings, badges and TFs. It is still going strong and is aimed primarily at those tasks.
Protector Vigilance, on the other hand, could be seen as a hybrid of the 2. It centers around team coordinations like Protector Watch, but also encourages casual banter and socializing. This one is rated "PG13".
These would be the main 3 that I've seen mentioned more regularly on this server, which are open to the public.

Adult level is an understatement. There are some sailors that blush when the conversations get "interesting" on that channel.

Thanks guys. I joined both Protector Watch and Vigilance today and it paid off when I got in on a Positron TF. By the end we were down to 3 but we still got it done in 2:02, definitely the fastest I've ever run it. Cool.
I also got in on a Jurassik hunt but that was a random invite afaik. Lots of fun to be had on Protector today.

There are shout-outs for teams on Jello Shooters too, but I wouldn't join unless you can handle bawdy talk |

Sounds like Jello Shooters may be my kind of channel need more in-game cussing IMO. I may have to join that one for sure.

Well, we do cuss... sometimes a LOT...but I've never seen us as being defined by that. What I DO see in JS is very, very knowledgable people when it comes to the mind-numbing minutae of this game (MATH ! GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFFFFF ! IT BURNSSSS ! |

), some VERY skilled players... and a lot of colorful personalities that satify the boho side of me.As far as the "adult conversations", we have 'em... anytime of the day or night, on most any topic. We tend to avoid religion and heavy politics, but beyond that, everyone has something they "bring to the table", so to speak. We welcome anyone who can stand us, and suffer fools better than most, for longer than most. (But not forever
)To quote Saint, one of our merry little tribe, "Jello Shooters, where we don't always know your name, but we can usually guess your dysfunction."
People tend to get all excited about the "18 and above" comment in the MotD, and some seem to take it as a challenge.
However, there was a very specific reason that warning was put in place, it's very old news, as well.
Come on in, have fun, look around.... but please don't take the MotD as some sort of challenge.

Do we have a list of the new active channels, and are there any on this list that are no longer in use? I want to get list updated for active/non-active channels.

Here's the new list of global channels for Protector: Jello Shooters (More of a basic chat channel) TF and Badge (Looking for task force and badge assistance? Check here!) Protector Watch (mainly used for rare spawning monsters, occasional task force) Villain Badges (looking for badges or giant monsters on villains? Go here.) Badge Squad (mainly Villain badges) Protector Vigilance! For announcing Giant Monsters, badge hunting and task forces! Paragon Watch should also be listed. The channel is for Badges/TFs/SFs & Giant Monsters. Protector Badge (form teams, Badge missions, Monster Events, Taskforce/Strikeforce recruiting) Paragon Interlink (A multi-server channel for badges, task forces, teams, hammi raids, and more.) Badgipedia (all badges from Monster Sightings all the way to Invention badge help can be talked and discussed here) Badge Covenant (Fun chat, monster/badgefarm/SFand TF teams.) (primary vill. but heroes are MORE than welcome also) -River |

Keep it clean, keep it decent, and respect your fellow players by avoiding inflammatory topics. Consider this channel PG13 and moderated. There are 3 mods at this time: Blazing Blue, Arion Elan, and myself. This channel has been around for a while now, but lacking a certain "something" to make it stand out amongst the multitude of global channels out there. We think that there is a desire for a family-friendly channel that can still offers players what they want to complement their gaming time. Copy and paste this in your chat/command line to join: /chan_join "Protector Vigilance" If you'd like, use one of these to quickly send messages to Protector Vigilance. Replace the "X" key to the key of your choice:

We could update the Protector Vigilance entry by removing the exclamation point and using the text in red, above.
Protector Watch is listed twice.
Jello Shooters' entry doesn't mention its adult-level.
AS for the other channels, who could know if they're still active and in use? Ask OPs to confirm?

Don't forget to let me know what the focus of the channel is for - badges, tf, teaming, chat, etc!
Thanks!
I suggest:
After the info is updated, this thread be unstickied, and a new thread be created with the updated info.
For ease of finding the info.

Thanks for the update River.
...but... If we're going to add ratings for content...
I don't know about you guys, but I would rate JS even higher, at NC-17, if we're using movie ratings as comparison.
http://www.mpaa.org/FlmRat_Ratings.asp
The MOTD in the channel, before I left, supported that rating.

This is not a movie. I am not going to change the 'rating' I added (which, in my opinion isn't even needed because of the very clearly worded warning you see each and every time on the channel) because it's not necessary. What I put there is sufficient.
We all know your opinion of Jello Shooters. It's been noted, several times, but it's not getting changed in my post.
There is also the Teamsters global channel, which is open to all players who are LFT whether you're a Teamster or not. We don't chatter much in it, but we do call out events such as TFs and GM hunts. To join, type /chan_join Teamsters in your entry field.
