No. Reason being is there could be dirty minded people on here that could try "sex chat" also people can use swear words very easy as a swear filter can't be added to sound.. All in all i'll say NO to microphones as you can use that on msn and yahoo messengers

Plus imagine all the extra burden on the server!

It would prove a lot more difficult for Admin and Moderators to monitor live actions.

True
As seen with other posts here the microphone idea won't go though.

What about having tabs on the chat boxes so it saves opening up 5 or 6 different boxes open. Not searched it so dont know if its been said before

And ventrilo, and any number of different other VOIP technologies out there....
On that notice though, a ventrilo server for funky, with enough rooms for people to use as they wish would been great.
Server resources is not really an issue there, voice traffic takes practically no bandwidth at all, but cost IS an issue. Unfortunately ventrilo server software isn't free.
If anyone can find any other usable VOIP software give me a should and I'll host it no problem at all.
As for content - that's entirely up to the users. I've played MMOs on unmoderated vent servers for years without ever having any real problems with content. And for those who might have concerns in that direction, the option is very simply not to join.

Just use msn, i mean majority of people have it nowadays unless you have no mates. What you gonna do when you get it anyway, complain about lag lol?

Lag is a real issue with MSN (and yahoo too for that matter)
Besides, they both stink when it comes to managing conversations between more than two at a time.
Ventrilo or similar would be far better imo. In fact I'll look into it - we ought to have a voip solution for funky players.

I think there is more chance of funky finally getting doubles than voice chat, and been waiting years for that lol

There is an Open Source program called Asterisk. Don't know if it's any good but it got a decent review in computer mag a while back.

I completely agree, and that's why it is very fortunate that this doesn't hinge on funkypool what so ever. Nothing prevents anyone else from setting up a voip service for funkypoolers to use - which we can hopefully get sorted in a week or three.
I'll be looking into it once I get home from England.

And thanks for the asterisk tip - that looks a little bit too much like a pure point to point telephone system (much like skype), but I'll look a bit better once I get home...
Basically what we need is a voip (voice over IP) system like ventrilo, where you can setup rooms where one to many players may choose to join - much like you join any game- or chat room here on funky.
A pure 1-1 system would be fairly useless and at the very least very cumbersome.
