The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
My guild has decided to make the big jump to voice comunications. And sadly somewhere in the midst of the frenzy I got nominated to set up the server. This is a slight problem becuase I have no clue how to get started beyond download vent/ts. Can somebody please give me some advice as to how I should go about getting this set up?
The members of your guild (and yourself) would all download the client program, but only you would download the server applications. Hopefully you're well acquainted with the logistics of that already, and as such realize you need to manage potential issues with routers and firewalls accordingly. If not feel free to ask for clarification.
And once it's installed you can follow the steps under "Quick Setup" and you'll be on your way.
I understand that I wasn't as thorough as I could have been, but most of this is pretty simple stuff. But with that said, just ask some specific questions and I'm sure someone will help you.

This outlines the setup for the server, which is incredibly simple. Once it's up and running, you'll just setup the client program:

It seriously doesnt lose its entertainment value.
It's not freeware. I couldn't use it for the Sexy Beasts Warcraft guild because you contractually have to pay for more than 8 people using it.
