Hoping to get a good old voice chat sorted soon, if you have tried to use the server and had issues I am sorry, i have mad major problems with my connection in the last week or so.

I am trying different things to see if i can get my line stable again.

Looking forward to hearing a lot of you.

Ok after a lot of fiddling and expletives ... ahem, my line seems to have stabilsed enouhg (tho nowhere near what it once was) and I am managing to maintain the connection much better now. I just wish Brtish Telecom would get of thier posterior and actually fix it instead of saying "Your voice service works fine the line is not suitable for broadband and wou will need to pay for a new line if you want to use it." History goes back to bad instability 2 years ago and they were on verge of blacklisting the line. Only then did i find that a neighbours line went faulty and when they repaired his, mine stabilised too.

Anyway The voice server should hopefully work properly again and anyone is free to use it whenever they feel. I will try and get back in there again for a chat but work coming up to xmas is piling up and most days i come home and dose off lol.

With christmas and holidays coming up, i bet it's hard to do any kind of planning... If i don't join the server though it's mostly due to being shy. sorry. Smile

I would like to participate (at least to try to, because I'm more than sure that you won't understand my english Wink), but I'm still not sure how to use the whole thing. Yes, yes, I have to download that program and install it first... and yeah, I second Marco about last days being overflowed with different stuff. How about delaying the meeting until January 2008? Not too much time's left Smile And one more question from me. How much traffic this voice chat will consume?

the voice chat consumes hardly anything, idle the server polls the net and uses a couple of kb. depending on the quality each user will use up to 12kbps only when speaking. the server uses some intelligent data transfer to distribute this to each user. I have successfuly had about 12 people on my connection with about 6/10th of my upload bandwith (800kbps) to spare. As it is unlikely everyone will speak at once it is often much less than this used.

Im sure if something good is arranged it will be a good "get to know you" excersise, maybe in the meantime we can organise a regular get together in the chat room.
