Two problems.

1: TS is somewhat unreliable, and frequently shuts down. This cannot be helped.

2: Certain people like to linger as an AFK in the Lobby. This is somewhat disconcerting when one tries to make a match.

Is there any way to auto-boot people who show no activity for more than 30 minutes?

People are supposed to go to the AFK lobby when they are infact AFK.  Now, there are problems that arise and people have to leave the comps unexpectedly and dont go to the lobby, this is what the SA's are for (if we had a few more *cough* *cough* we could move these people to the AFK lobby until they came back.

Once the persistency is in, there should be quite a few people on more, and games should be much easier to come by.

If I understand correctly, an auto-afk function would be enabled by a server-side script.  From searching the TS forums I came across an addon called TS2PerlMod which, among other things, "Moves idle users into a channel of your choice. The channel can be specified by a full or partial name."  This sounds like just the ticket for fixing this problem.  Whoever is in charge of running the TS server should check out the file here.

I also came across some other addons for TS users.  Teamspeaker adds a bunch of features for the client including an option to auto login to servers of your choice.

TS Overlay says it can overlay text of who is talking overtop of a game.  So when you are in-game it would say "Kolath is talking" whenever I have my mic active.  I haven't tested it out yet, but it sounds useful.

TS overlay doesnt work for CoH I have found, maybe that is just my computer, but I have had it working for other games like Americas Army and B2.  It just doesnt show up for CoH.  What it says is <name> and has a speaker icon when someone is talking so that if you dont know the voices of people you know who it is talking.

I suspect once we all start playing more we will learn each others voices.  I already know a great deal of you guys, but we will have a lot more to learn once we get persistency in.  The mod to move idle users to the afk channel would be great and would solve the problems.
