I've only been here for a few hours really, and I'm already making suggestions! Look at me being productive!

How about we use a different program than skype for voice communications? Hosting a call in skype for major events is just a disaster. Skype wasn't made for large groups of people using the voicechat. And I know I prefer talking over typing things out.

I got 4 programs we can use, and there's a few pro's and cons to each of them, though I can not think of all of them. I'll list the programs from the one I've used most often to the one I've never used.

Dolby Axon: It's free, easy to use, server hosting is free, I know my way around so I can troubleshoot quite easily with this one. You need an account for it though.

TeamSpeak: Almost everyone knows of this one, it's quite easy to set up if you just read what's going on. Server hosting isn't free to my knowledge.

Mumble: I only used this for a little while before my group switched over to Dolby Axon. as a consequence, I don't know much about this one either.

Ventrillo: I actually don't know a lot about this one. Never used it, but it's highly regarded by most of the people I spoke with about these things in the past.

How about it? Discuss and leave replies down below!

Its free and open source but its a bit more complicated to set up then teamspeak.

Even that Australian friend I mentioned in the OP sounded crystal clear, even though his internet line wasn't the best (it actually rusted somewhere, go figure).

I'm also another skype hater.

Typing responses can be a bit difficult while exploring and finding an overhang with a good 20 mobs under it.

The actual mumble website is mumble.info/ which doesnt do hosting but offers client and server software.

Dynmo: Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true Dec 24, 2017 0:56:04 GMT

Dynmo: They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me Dec 24, 2017 0:56:16 GMT

Dynmo: You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night Dec 24, 2017 0:56:29 GMT
