Usually I'd put this up in the Senate, but the VOIP server is used by everyone. Therefore I want to take into account everyone (who votes') preferences as to what VOIP we'd like to use. Over the years I've used Skype, TS3, Vent and Mumble. I have no particular preference, but obviously Skype is free, and TS3 is our current set-up. The current subscription runs out on the 24th September (next Monday), so I'd like to know what people would prefer to continue with before renewing/switching to a service. My personal preference is either to stay with TS3 or switch to Skype. Skype has its difficulties in that push-to-talk can be irritating with many people, is a bit more personal, and doesn't have the *hub* feeling with regard to channels and such. Anyway, please vote/comment asap so that I have an idea what everyone wants before proceeding.

N.B. It's multi-vote so if you have preference for a couple but don't care which you can vote for several. For example: TS3/Skype or TS3/Vent.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if u know, but I found out recently. In a group in skype u can actually promote/demote people to MASTER/HELPER/USER/LISTENER and put up a link on the for example forums and give that group password protection (in case u're considering skype as an option).

just type /help and skype will give you a lot of commands, or check here https://support.skype.com/en-us/faq/fa10042/what-are-chat-commands-and-roles

Example: a group I created, skype:?chat&blob=ObmUQemqCLQwCfA5YJVSYEKN2gCUqqFmTqsOEORHYIx9W9l3PAaxVFcvi0SdxGTg
Password: Clan d
(im not entirely sure how to use the link, but copy-paste the link in skype and send to some1 and then it should be clickable)

I'd prefer TS3 or VT. Skype is excellent for playing with friends casually, but if you are going to be competitive I think it's annoying to hear someones little brother or mom in the background + all the clicking on the keyboard etc.
So I'd prefer the ones where you talk when you talk and don't hear all the background voice.

skype still sucks, forcing the volume of everything else to be low when you are in a conversation is plain bullshit. It should be a free choice
