Is there a vent or teamspeak server for Geeknights? If not if you all are down to try this out. There is this voip software called Mumble. It's just like ventrilo and teamspeak. Except it supposedly has better sound quality. It's also open source and has clients for all OS's. I could get us all 10 to maybe 25 person server that would cost me almost nothing. Members then could just jump in an chat whenever or just hang out and idle there. What do you all think?
I like the idea of a place where we can just wander in and chat it up with anyone who's there. It takes me back to my IRC days on #desync.
With skype, you can just add a large amount of people to a group and chat it all up in there. Eventually, people leave as the large amount of messages become annoying as fuck with constant notifications and it becomes more tightnit.
Hey everybody, it's been about a month since the last Geekchat. So...does anybody want to do one either tonight, tomorrow, or tomorrow. Also because of the new influx of users, I think it's prudent to reintroduce this.
Geekchat Who: I assume you (or you people) reading this post
What: Geekchat - Welcome to the Unsocial - Welcome All Members (Old and New), Come In and Participate
When: 11/19/10, 11/20/10, or 11/21/10 - Around 6 PM or later (EST)
Where: Through the magic of the Internet and VoIP
Why: Because it is fun, you get to actually talk to fellow forumites, and (for the most part) a good time can be had by all.
How: Download Skype by going to Skype's webpage, make an account, and find everyone's Skype Address by using IDShare. If you are interested, use the chart below, type your forum name, and use the numbers (on a scale of 1 to 5) to indicate how likely it is you can participate on that specific day. When a lot of people have used the graph, I (or whomever else is hosting the chat) will add each days' numbers up and pick the day which gets the highest amount. It is preferable for you to get your own headset mic (or built in one) to join in, but if you lack one you can use the chat feature to participate as well. Hope to see you there!
I've been summoned to the Anime Club tonight for unknown reasons. I mean LITERALLY summoned. The president tracked me down at work and told me I had to show up this week. Fuck if I know what that's all about. Anyway, I'll try to show up tonight, but I'll have to see what happens at anime club.
Based on the amount of people who posted, I would say tonight seems to be a good night, Saturday might work, but Sunday definitely won't happen. By the way, if you wish to contact me about joining, just search for the handle "Geo" on Skype.
Okay now here's the deal. I'm not going to be able to get to tonight's geekchat until maybe 9:30 (seeing Deathly Hallows Part I tonight). If somebody else would like to host in my stead, be my guest and do so.
Well, I know it's a bit after 6 EST, but if anyone's interested in a GeekChat tonight, I can host. I have my Skype info in my profile, or just search 'JukeBoxJosh.' You should be able to find me.

EDIT: didn't refresh the thread.
And it's pretty much over. If people want to talk later (Lookin' at you Geo and ElJoe) I'll be there.
