EoFF Group Chats!

[Shauna]

Maybe we should organise something, but if we do, let's do it in a new thread.

yessir. :3

Way back when we used to do big ol' Voice Chat on Yahoo! Messenger, and it'd be cool to do that sort of thing again. :} It would also give me something to do when I'm bored and unemployed.

We were discussing Skype vs Y!M in that other thread that has been saved from derailment. But uh, I dunno which one would actually be best. People with more experience with Skype could help out here.

So, let's get excited for long exciting chats with EoFFers! :}

[Loony BoB]

I have an interest in this.

[Faris]

Count me in! I have skype but I don't mind redownloading Y!M. I'll have to get a new microphone though.

[Sephex]

I would prefer Skype. I will do this if I am free whenever it is decided.

[Shauna]

Cloudane mentioned that Skype group calls are limited to 25 people, which could possibly be a limiting factor here.

Although, apparently, group calls can be up to 100 people in one call. Hmm. Looks like it'll be a get one started up and find out what happens. xD

There's also Mumble, Ventrilo and others like that for voice chat. The servers cost money though. :x I'm not sure but I think Google Hangouts is something similar.

I actually have a free Mumble server but that only allows 5 people. I could look into prices and if it's reasonable, I could maybe get us a 20 or so person server.

I will only be able to participate in these if I head to a location with a more powerful internet connection. My vision and sound remain my own, in the interim.

[Night Fury]

I am very interested in this!

Skype is free and definitely allows at least 25 people in a single call, so I wouldn't worry yourself over this. :3 Thanks anyway, though!

My YM's pretty much dead so Skype would be preferable. I'm interested in this though

[WildRaubtier]

Yahoo messenger? What is this, Vietnam?

[Raebus]

Skype plz but yeah I'm interested in this here idea.

[Shauna]

Alrighty then. Y!M has been rejected. I just hope that no more than 25 people want to chat at once, since we seem to have limitations.

Skype exchanging will have to occur, I guess. :3

[Cloudane]

Yeah 25 max in a Skype group if you want to be able to start a call in it, based on my experience with brony groups.

I'd probably just listen in and tappy-tap on text chat unless drunk enough (shyness etc) but would be glad to see this going

The other thing I remember from days gone by was an FF radio station. There's one around but it doesn't look like it's on air - can't verify at the moment due to being at work

It seems like only 5-15 people are active in chat any given time and I doubt as much people will want to voice chat. So as long as inactive people leave or are given the boot, 25 should be no problem.
