Sounds strange, and I'm sure it has been proposed before, but would anyone think that a gh voice server would be fun to try out?
I'm willing to allow my Teamspeak 3 server to be a test bed.
Anyone interested? Will edit this initial post with details if people are interested.
Update 7/10/13: I'm getting some new networking hardware coming in the mail. I plan to have the server ready after that point, since it'll be an overhaul of my home network.
Update 7/15/13: Someone beat me to it in making a server, see new thread here http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=45805.0 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=45805.0)

I'm game

Just curious, what is the point of a voice server? Ive used teamspeak before for video games, but...yeah. Not me bring angry, just ignorant.
-
Tym, you don't want to talk to me? Fine.
-
Nah SpamRay told me you smell.
-
^^^ Yup
-
Tell me how you really feel guys.
-
I'm in :3

I currently have a teamspeak server that me and a few buddies use. It is only at like 15 slots i think but you guys can use it if you'd like. If needed I can get more slots.

I'd try it.
I recommend mumble way over teamspeak. It's foss and you can host your own server with infinite slots for free. Like the interface better too myself.

No i said captian can't spell! :P
-
a geekhack voice server? i would be interesting on how that would go lol, i have an unused vent server, maybe if you plan topics/discussions ahead of a given timeslot that would work. like at 12:00 AM GMT we will be having a discussion about _____________
Just anytime would probably not be as successful as just idling on IRC (I SPY ON ALL OF YOU, MUAHAHA)
-
Wtf? Topics? Nah, throw everyone into the thunderdome and let's see what happens.

Then you would HEAR why people make bad English mistakes ... because it's not their first language!!!

Yeah I'd be up for it. I think mumble > teamspeak though.

Mumble also has iPhone and Mac clients, so for those of us that aren't gamers could easily participate as well. :cool:

Let' s do mumble then

I was SO going to put in the original post:

Truthfully I'd consider it, but I don't see a point when Teamspeak works just fine.
-
I've got a friend with a mumble server. I don't think he'd be too happy opening it to a forum though. I can ask him incase though.
I'm not ruling out TS3 though. I was just saying if this were to become official I'd recommend mumble instead.

I have my own server ready to go, I'll prep it tonight. Why on earth everyone wants mumble is beyond me though...

I was just about to say.. Sorry if I seemed unappreciative. When I said I'd prefer mumble I only meant we should use it if this became an official thing and the website rented a server.
TS3 is fine though and I think it's really cool you're willing to open up the server to us. Thank you :)

Ditto.

I'm down

But it doesn't. You have to pay to host large numbers of users, and there's no linux client (there is an ok third party client I think) and I'm not sure about mac.

There appears to be a Linux and a Mac client. The iOS client is in beta - http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads

I would join in on this, I can't turn down keyboard talk

Imagine how much click clack click clack we'll hear from people's kb's through their mics. I can only imagine.

I just see all this QQing about clients and not enough moves being made. Someone please change this.

I'm in.

How many slots do you reckon we need?

What? No video to scare each other with all our unbathed glory?!
-

I would say 20 to start. We might need to kick people if they idle too long, taking up too many slots.
-

Not that brave.
-
I've used Mumble/Vent/TS3/RC and all of them work ok lol but currently using TS3 as my mate has a server going.
Wouldn't be a bad place to hang out haha.
Just need a "Drunks Corner"... where you'll find me on fridays.
-
Sorry, I'm an idiot. I, for some reason, thought you were talking about ventrilo, which sucks. Mumble or ts is fine.
-

30

Unlimited, I can check my bandwidth and limit if needed.
Details to be determined after the holiday weekend :D
-
Never limit something unless you have to.
-
I will definatly be in as soon as I get everything set up. I may also set up a server over here, depending on the lag times. I just need the parts from Trent, until then I am stuck using my phone... </hint> :p

They are pretty cool tbf, a previous forum I was on had one... and it's kinda like any other chat client only your talking, which means that fewer people will connect and so only the people that actually want to chat will be on it.
Also helps with impromptu games of CSS/TF2/SC2... least in my experience

I need to find a good headphone with mike!
I missed out on all the crazy group skype chats with those GH peeps :p

Oops, a headphone with a mike. :))
Only seen those razer ones around. And I dont really wanna wear something so freaking neon green on my head.....
-
I was only joking because its "Mic" not "Mike":))
-
Cheap, functional, not too ridiculous (aside from the massive control box on the cable.)

Ahha. Thanks bro. I'll take a look at that! At least it issnt green! :))
-
Might be cool.

FYI: Gaming headphones with mic are a well known ripoff. Your money is better spent buying a good mic that is separate from headphones and using them together in a USB adapter (like this one: http://compare.ebay.com/like/171040005184?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar) -- That Logitech USB headset driver is GREAT, works on Windows without any troubles and Linux I believe out of the box too if you configure pulseaudio and alsa a bit.

EYYYY these eBay sellers can only ship items to me so fast :P
-
Okie. Lemme take a look around. Budget allowing, that is :))
Or you'll see me throw up moar stuff for sales :p

I'll take care of it.... Configuring as I speak.

It will be interesting hearing everybody's voice. Also, will it be mumble or teamspeak?

I already have a Teamspeak server running, and I'm more comfortable with it, just making final changes. But I'm checking out Mumble just in case.

I personally like TS because that's what my gaming group/clan uses

Update posted in first post.

I would totally love to have something like this. Servers aren't terribly expensive to rent out, but we could always run a donation for whoever decides to run it.

I'd like to run it at home. I've got a stable environment, good bandwidth, US located. I'm going to wait until I get the new networking hardware I ordered installed before making it live though. The only block preventing this from working well is my current router (2003 era, 200mhz and always has 100% cpu usage). It's dying and I've got an ASUS Dark Knight in the mail (sick router). After some minor changes to the WAN, DMZ and Firewall it'll be up and running all stable and the like no worries at all :)
Past that if anyone is interested in running a donation that is fine by me, but I'm happy to run it for free.
-
I'm also in. I have to work on my pronunciation. And I also think that mumble is better
-
Just thought of a problem; 30 guys (and gals) using their super loud collections of keyboards, I have done skype gaming with 2 boss' and that was loud enough...
-
Oh... I run like 2 mumble servers lol. If you kids want one let me know. Just use different channels or whatever so you don't have a cluster **** of people.

Push to talk. :D

Nope. >.>
-
Don't need push to talk, a good signal to noise ratio set up works perfectly unless you've got like a Model M or something.
-
I'm so used to push to talk now. When my Mum sometimes comes in my room and I've got my headphones on, I press my push to talk button when I speak to her. D:
-
I just hotkey a mute button.
-
It's possible for me to set up a dedicated server with around 25 slots for GH use, but I would only do so if there was enough interest.
Do you bros TRULY want a place to chill with other keyboard enthusiasts?
-
Yes. I already do voice calls on Skype so this isn't that much of a leap for me.

I would say yes, but in reality I don't think I'd ever make good use of something like this considering the fact that time zones mess things up a bit and me not being fluid in English :c
So yes, part of me wants this, but reason tells me that I would barely bother joining, and if I did I would barely speak.
