Port: 64738
Download Mumble

I think IRC is meh and I don't use Mumble, are there any plans for a TeamSpeak or Skype group?

 

[itisRag]

There's a Skype group. The thread for it is on the beta forum.

Edit: I wouldn't mind TeamSpeak either.

I am definitely up for a skype group. IRC I dont use a whole lot anymore but I can be sure to add it to my favorite channels so I check in from time to time

 

[itisRag]

I've submitted a request to the admins to move/tag/approve this thread as appropriate.

 

[GLB]

so does anyone have a link to the old skype thread?

 

[itisRag]

Here's the Skype thread, while the beta forum is still up. Get it while it lasts.

hmmm, is there a skype group?? or should we all just start listing our usernames??

 

[itisRag]

It was my understanding that there was a group. I'm not sure who was in charge of it or in it. Honestly everyone would be better off starting over on this new site.

 

[GLB]

ah, that may be a good idea

 

[Lyn]

If there is any Skype group, feel free to add me to it. My Skype username is TeddyBearYoshi as always.

 

[GLB]

I'm GLB on there!

What about RaidCall?

What about RaidCall?

From what I've read about RaidCall, it is a sign-up required service, and does not have any kind of dedicated server software that is configurable. In other words, it's kind of like Skype, where you are using a proprietary messaging/VoIP service and have limited control over it/cannot maintain/host/control the servers yourself. That's fine for people who are comfortable using something like that, but not exactly my thing. For my own personal solutions I prefer to stick with dedicated solutions that have personally maintainable server configuration software like Mumble/Teamspeak.

Edit: To clarify, I've talked with the admins, and we have agreed that they are not going to officially endorse/sanction the Mumble server I am hosting, and as far as I can tell they do not have plans to have any such official VoIP for Squidboards. Any solutions will be for unofficial/personal/individual use/basis, according to what I have been told. I of course can't speak for the admins, and they will end up deciding whether or not they want to change this policy.

I am planning to set up a group/try to bring my old clan back from the dead, so I will probably be trying to initiate a small community of people soon. I'm beginning to work on rebuilding a website for it and try to have it up by the end of next month.
