That's probably a good idea and as we seem to be using TS instead of VON at the moment it shouldn't be a problem.
As I say, once 1.63 is released and a bit of time has passed for everyone to upgrade, we can perhaps look at switching back to VON again as we'll know that whether people are using 1.63 stable or a later beta, they will all be inter-operable as far as VON is concerned (unless BIS make another major change but hopefully that's unlikely). We may well feel that TS with the Whisper plugin is better than VON anyway though and stick with that.
I don't think that using TS is much of a barrier to new users joining us, as they really need to be on TS to chat pre-game anyway. Of course they probably won't have the whisper plugin setup but as that's only really needed for leaders and new users are unlikely to be taking that role immediately there's enough time to explain how to install and set that up if they become regulars.
