Interest Check: Voice over IP Service -

[Null]

Someone's asked me to set up a VOIP server. I can probably do that on Orange, the mail server.

Is anyone interested? If so, what service? Keep in mind, I run a TS server for friends and I think there's an arbitrary limit of 32 for free servers (even ones you own), but Teamspeak has also provided the best audio quality in my tests.

I've used Teamspeak a lot for World of Tanks, and it's always worked great. It could be a lot of fun.

I'm intimately familiar with TeamSpeak, and I've used Mumble and Ventrilo on occasion. TeamSpeak of the three I've used is the best in general, because it balances a great, easy-to-understand interface with good quality, depending on how your channel's set up. Mumble's got it beat on quality, but it's really counter-intuitive to use and lacks visual coherence comparatively. As for Vent, it's my least-used so I don't have much of an opinion on it.

tl;dr me like TeamSpeak

>that one raidcall fag

okay then.

Nah, but TS3 would be awesome. Hell, anything would be.

 

[ShavedSheep]

I don't know what particular platform to vote for, but I do know i would be interested in any of them. The skype call was fun.

Oh man, this is so weird because I had the same idea.

Mumble is my go-to choice. Marvin and Alec might be willing to show up on Mumble, as they're big into that, and I'm a fan of Mumble myself.

I've had good results with Ventrillo & Teamspeak back in my WoW days.

 

[KingCasio]

Well, when can we expect one Null?

 

[Sanic]

I've loved the voice chats. No clue what format would be best, but whatever you think would work best.

Orange is a bit under stress right now because I've misconfigured MySQL or something. Katsu is working on that. If he manages to reduce our resources, I'll set it up today.

I don't like Teamspeak because of their shitty policies, but I remember Mumble having poor audio quality, Ventrilo being easily attacked, and I've never even dealt with Raidcall.

Ask Marvin about Mumble, he can probably help you fiddle with it. I know that's why PVCC didn't use Ventrillo, because of easy attacks.

Also fun fact - before we got a dedicated server, we used to just hop on unused European servers. Sometimes a French guy would come on and yell at us and we'd yell back in random French.

Don't ever stop being you, you magnificent faggot.

I run a very small Teamspeak server for a friend. On the first 24 hours we had it publicly listed because I didn't know wtf I was doing. Some random Germans joined at random, and even after delisting they'd join every day and occupy a random channel. I named one Vaterland and gave it a German famfamfam flag, and now they always use that one. I've never spoken to any of them and I think they've only communicated with us once, asking my friend: "Vaterland ist Deutsch Zimmer ?"

I just would have named it "Anne Frank" or something similar.
You're a better man than I, Null.

 

[Sanic]

Just wondering, are these more stable than Skype calls?

In my experience with Teamspeak, I've not had any issues with it.

Also, their license for what they consider non-profit (us included) allows up to 512+512 (2 servers) users at once. I think that's plenty. If we're able to pack more than 1024 people onto our server, I'm hopefully capitalizing off it enough to afford a true license.

 

[Sanic]

I'm so super excited for this thing. Hope you can get it to go, Null.

Okay, I'm going to be AWOL for about a day and a half. Everyone send @KatsuKitty vulgar messages telling him to fix Roundcube so the mailserver can support Teamspeak.
