not me. I have absolutely no interest in voice chat. Just not my thing.AmericanMuffin wrote:Let me ask you guys something: Will you guys actually try it? If you're not in the same situation as Boring, I'd give it a try.
That's fine, I don't care if it doesn't work out. I just thought it would be an easier way than typing, this is also a good system if oyu;re a moderator, it has Blacklists, muting and everything. :/noiseredux wrote:not me.

Voice chats work better with really large communities that have a lot of time on their hands. Not so well with places like Racketboy, which has only a few hundred regular users, most of whom are over 18 and have jobs and/or college to attend.puke_face wrote:It's hard enough to get people here in the regular chatroom, let alone voice chat.

I replied thusly, just in case someone had brought it up before. I wasn't sure.AmericanMuffin wrote:Can I give info for an unofficial Racketboy Ventrillo server... I thought it would be a good idea to give it a try.
He said he had searched and I just left it at that without a reply as I'm at work. Now aside from the fact I was at work, I have no desire to just chat with people during the day. I don't even like chit-chatting on the phone. For business or gaming it is fine, but if I'm going to shoot the breeze I prefer text or in person. I hadn't read about it in the suggestions thread or anywhere else until this thread was brought to my attention. Obviously even though I am a regular who does read a lot, I don't and can't read every thread.Hobie-wan wrote:I don't know if someone has mentioned it before, they might.

This. The easy thing about IRC is being able to go AFK and not worry about missing conversation.BoringSupreez wrote:Voice chats work better with really large communities that have a lot of time on their hands.

someone needs to update the link of the OP of IRC thread. That's not the link given.noiseredux wrote:this one?BoringSupreez wrote: Actually, I've never been able to get our IRC chat thing to work for me, so I find it useless.
