I think the issue with this would be similar to the issue with a streaming radio: lots of bandwidth. It is an interesting idea, but the requirements to do a dedicated server through the site might not make it worth it. Unless we get someone who wouldn't mind donating a dedicated box and their pipe for it.

Alternatively, I recommend Skype or YM.

There's also iparty

Im sorry whats iParty?

Anyways, I could potentially reisgter a ventrilo server if people were intrested. The Yahoo messenger I am not familiar with, though I get the impression that they are strict invites, not just a public server. Ventrilo could just be opened to all members of EyesonFF at any time of the day everyday.

I've voice chatted a few times but it's hard to get into really. To me it just seems unpolite to randmoly IM someone and ask to join their voice chat. People have to want to invite you.

This probably just backs up why I believe the Yahoo would just be invites only, not a public server, where everyone could just jump in and start talking.

Im just curious ATM (notice the capital letters...) of who would be intrested in something like this

iParty is a program completely designed for audio conferences. It's a better program for it in that it's a queued (sp.?) system, meaning that not everybody can talk at once, and if somebody is being an idiot, you can skip them. However, it is not as popular as Y!M, which allows hands-free.

I don't have the link to iParty handy.
