Default What about a RB teamspeak server?

Everyone,

I am a video gamer as well and we use a program call Teamspeak.
This is a VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) software package.
It is not very expensive for a TS (Teamspeak) server and I would be willing to donate one.
But, the question is would you guy's and gal's be interested in using something like that.
All you need to use TS is headset with a mic (USB is the easiest to configure). they can be purchase fairly cheaply anywhere from $9.99 to $60.00 or so.
Then we could have reef related and other discussions over the internet without the delay of forums.

What do you guys think?

Jeremy

It is extremely easy, I would post step by step instructions on how to get on it and use it.

The really nice thing about teamspeak is the coversational aspect.
There is no typing, you personality and character comes through in your voice.
It is like talking on the phone. It really is a great system.
I feel like we would all get to know each other a little better and could have some great communications on reef subject. Don't get me wrong forums are great and they can't be replaced you can use them for pictures, diagrams, and they are lasting unlike a conversation. But, I think you all seem to be a great bunch and would like to hear the quirks in your voices and have the conversations with you that you can do in 20 min on TS that would take 3 days in the forums.

Sounds like a great idea but does that mean things will not be wrote down for everybody to see. Thats the foundation for RB. Information that others can see, read and learn from. Words/information that are not recorded are eventually lost forever.

I like the idea, but how do we keep everyone from talking over each other? Any ever had that group or conference call from hell???

As long as the Teamspeak is an addition and not replacement, we should be good, but I agree the written word that you can go back too is more crucial.

maybe the teamspeak thing could go under the lobby.

Plus, RyanG said he was already working on something.

Actually lots of my friends and I use the forums and the TS in conjunction with each other. We go on TS and discuss things in our forums as well as use it as a social center for laughing and talking. We also use it under for what it was intended, as a game comms system. We play battle simulation games and use this system so we can fight as a team.

I think I set one up and we can try it. I will get one for a 3 month period and we can evaluate it and see how it works. This will also give Ryan time to get his Top Secret system off of the ground.

Once I get it up I will post directions and the IP information on here.
