Ever thought about adding a ventrilo server where we could discuss things? Obviously it would have to be limited to members that had a certain number of posts to keep out spammers, but it might be a good idea. What do you all think?
Yes, best idea I've heard all minute.
Yes, it would be ok, as long as it didnt get out of hand.
I don't care one way or the other.
Not really.
Absolutely not, it would cause social chaos and armageddon.

Why is there no "what is a Ventrilo anyways" answer?
Off to Google .
Ah okay.
I personally won't use it even if there's one, so I voted "I don't care".Ventrilo is a proprietary Voice over Internet Protocol program with clients for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.
It's probably just me, though. I like forums better because of their un-realtime nature. That allows one to think twice before saying (typing) something. For personal conversations, I also prefer IM over phone for this same reason.
It doesn't fit this board at all. Most things are "problems with textual information", just try and describe the URL of a pastebin
We will have a lot of time to think by writing instead of speaking.
Just GET it OFF out my mind!!
Agreed.IRC or something would be better imo.
Yes, I do agree... IRC would be nice :-)
You can share files too with IRC easily

Well, you can share files here as well, although not really F-Huge files, unles you own a webisite liek I do, in whihc case the limit is 1TB or something.

Quick, share, share, share before the internet filter in my country takes effect
I'm against everything that doesn't advertise a Linux client
All the buzzt!

I prefer textual communication.
An IRC seems a good feature though.

No programming language is perfect. There is not even a single best language; there are only languages well suited or perhaps poorly suited for particular purposes.

Usually you give each person their own password to get onto the server. I believe Ventrillo and Teamspeak both have various user levels that allow you to specify permissions and permission groups for users.As long as 200 posts is the minimum I'm for it.
It would be a huge undertaking just to maintain the server but to allow unfettered public access would be a big mistake as well.
I'm not against it but I do not feel it is very practical.
