I'm a member on www.virtualford.org to, and they have a neat little feature I like...

A chatbox!

I was wondering if ya'll might consider getting one on here? I know we tried the chat thing before (thanks again Smokey for setting up the chat) but I think it would get more use if it was there when you log into the site, instead of having to log into somthing else.

IIRC, they said we need more traffic on the boards to build the site up before we can have chat.

But if ya wanna chat now, I think smokey's thing is still up. I'd chat with ya

Here I sit with a skype account that is hardly used and nobody can take the time to talk first hand which includes the voice for FREE (including conference calls I think) and you want people to type for small talk ?

It'd be cool to talk with you, but my pc's way to slow to run skype...

i have a skype account but no microphone or webcam....im working on both as we speak though

We could get a ventrilo server?

I like the idea, but then again I don't...

People wont download programs like that, usually...

I can easily rent a Ventrilo Channel if guys are interested in voicechat?

If you want to, then yeah great...go for it!

I have the program, just don't use it much.

Thanks for bringing up the idea. It has been brought up before and at the time it was decided not to implement one. Membership and forum traffic are the biggest reasons against it at the time.

Here is a link to the othet threads if you want to look through them and see what was talked about in them.

I will bring it up to the admins again but I still think it is going to be a traffic issue/use issue. I know the forums look really busy with all the threads going on but in reality FTF is still just a baby site. You look at a lot of other successful sites that have chats, their members number in the hundred thousands. They can afford to and probably enjoy having some of the traffic taken out of the forums.

Either way I'll point them this way and see what they have to say on the topic.

One of the threads in the link I posted was O'rattlecan talking about VOIP.
