Alright, so, obviously, we're not using the Ventrillo client anymore. Understandable, it costs money, so you'd be more expected to use it, right? So, why not Skype group chats instead?
Now, before people say they don't want to - that's fine, Skype's free, so totally optional, you don't have to use it if you don't want to, no-one can make ya'. If you do, then you just hop online, request an invite to an FW group chat or, if there's none going, make one. Don't wanna be a part of it, you can reject the call. It's free, it's optional, it's easy to use and there's no user limit base, so we wouldn't need to pay to open up new slots. Making an account is also free, the only way you'd have to pay is if you were putting Skype credits on your account to call a phone.
I loved going on Vent, so I support this idea. In fact, this idea would make me go on Skype more. At the moment, I rarely go on Skype because the few friends I have that use Skype don't go on it often, if at all. I hope this takes off so we can all hang out and talk to each other again.
I am always on Skype and I use it for Ro and other things. I wouldnt mind doing this. Even if I dont have a mic.
Whoo! It took a whole month to get another person to show interest in this thing. I'm guessing the Skype group isn't going to happen since no one else is adding input to this.
That sucks. Sorry I didn't reply sooner, been busy with work school and fighting illnesses.
As I have skype and use it almost all the time I am totally for this..
Paws up on this from the orange fluffy kitty :3
Skype's become my 'go-to' IM, so yeah, I'd join the 'Furry Within" Skype group if there were one. Whether I'd subject y'all to my horribly accented voice or not, not so sure :P
I'm good fer it.
Count me ... in
I'm up for it, although I speak through Skype with friends sometimes when playing LoL, or Magicka. But I'm up for it alright.
So... If Arai isn't going to make a group, I guess I'll try it. Arai, is the group still going to happen?
If I can figure out skype I'll be happy to join you all. :3
mmmmmmm I like skype toooo. But I dun like how it's open mic... unless they changed something on me while I have been inactive?.. o.o Or I just don't truly know if there is a push to talk button.... mmm.. Must look into it... But.. I would like a skype group. Atleast it's free of charge.

Ventrilo uses a push to talk button. Skype does not, however, I think you could change it into a push to talk button if you would like to.
PUSH DA BATTAN!
Yeah.. cause no one wants to hear all that goes on in my house *giggles*
Skype refuses to put a PTT button, but modders are trying to put that into Skype. I don't know how far it's gotten since it's been a long while since I last looked at its development.
Edit: I have found a PTT side program that works with Skype. http://nudua.blogspot.com/2010/01/skype-push-to-talk-10-final-released.html This is it.
This is going to be a new post so those who look for this thread will see it has been updated. We need each others Skype names for the group. I don't know if this is the best idea, but I figured we should put our screen names right in this thread so those who want to join in the group can add everyone and be able to join in on the group calls.
Mine is cerolobo .
fenthesloth for me.
FeliciaWolverinni for me.
I may just add, threads are inaccessible to guests. People must register and sign in to see content in threads. So people just browsing the net are unable to see any screen names you may be posting up here.
venfox12 for me! Feel free to add me!
I'm only on there at request most times. Skype is my least-preferred VOIP.
Username is Azhtek. Nothing too surprising.
I'll be on there somewhat randomly, but I'll show up from time to time.
QajaKebauet is my name. Easy peasy.
Mine's toanboy123
Search for Jens Lomander. If you find a Sock there, that's me
I was starting to get on more and more before the move, but lost my mic during soooo ya. I still get on and what not, pretty sure my mic is in the junk box for some reason >.>
fawkes66
tabachivq
for those who want mah ugly mug
Mine is lovely1voice. c: Like Azh, I really only get on if you say "hey, let's Skype" but I'm certainly not opposed to the franchise. <3
