I agree! Cept, I don't have Skype, or a webcam, or a microphone. Plus my parents won't let me cause i'm still in high school. But still!

Sounds like a good idea.

You can dump here your usernames if you want.

i don't see the point, as group video costs moneys and there are better alternatives for audio. however, my username is... shmibs.

We should do this though. Group vid, audio, and chatting.

We use to have skype conferences, and a little while ago we a few of us used teamspeak a lot.
I'm thinking though that skype video chat isn't a really good idea because it does cost money but if you guys want to start up skype conferences up again that is. I can't promise I'll be able to attend but I'll attempt to.

The only thing I prefer about skype compared to teamspeak is that you have to host a server for teamspeak to work. Otherwise I prefer teamspeak.

Yeah I prefer things like Tinychat, like they do on Cemetech.

as for teamspeak there are plenty of free servers just hosting one is better for permissions/customization purposes

Which reminds me...I still don't know what I'm suppose to do to restart ours, it's been down for a long while. Not that anybody really uses it.

There is google hangout. I never tried it, but maybe it does what you are looking for.
