Chat room and VoIP

To be honest I've seen more than one chat room die off after changing from text to voice.  Some people don't feel comfortable talking, you have to pay closer attention because you can't just scroll back if you miss something, and it's harder to juggle family and chat if you need to be wearing headphones. 

Personally I would rather it stay the way it is.

You can do VOIP chats using SKYPE for free with all US members.  A group of us active traders did this (probably some still do) every day while the markets were open.  It works well for a small group - say 5 max.  Once you get beyond that, without moderation, it starts becoming mayhem.  Second, there was no way to keep a record of what was exchanged.  I doubt those would be significant issues here, but they were the issues with that group.

It would be a VOIP chat room - like a conference call.

Yes and no. We could set up several rooms where members could go into to talk to each other. An open like a conference room or smaller rooms.

As what I currently have is an Old (2.1 .2.2) Ventrilo. Trey (CyberDude) is not sure the client for it is compatible when the today's newer operation systems. He and I talked about it last night and next week he will be looking at other types of voice servers / clients.

As far as cost goes there is none to the members of the recipe site who are also member of good standing here on the Bradley forums. What a member will need is a head set with a mic and a full duplex sound card. (Most cards / systems today are full duplex.)

Now once installed a member can use the VoIP server anytime.  For example let's say you have a friend in China. You set up a time to talk with that friend. It will not cost you one silly cotton-pickin' dime. However, your friend (again) will have to be a member of the recipe site and a active member of the Bradley forums. I'm not interested in financing world wide voice chat for non-members. VoIP takes bandwidth. Bandwidth cost money.

If it is abused I will limit it useage to only Tuesday nights.

The down side to VoIP in a chatroom is you will have members using it but not typing in the chat box and as such some members who do not have VoIP will be left out of the conversation.

The upside is it adds a whole new dimension to getting to know other members. It would help understand a person's online persona that can be misunderstood otherwise.

Also I would need moderator's / Admin to over see it.
