Yeah, one neat thing about teamspeak is that anyone can create temporary channels that disappear once they empty out.
The three big reasons I’d rather have teamspeak:
1) It’s free to host for gaming clubs / clans / etc up to 100 people. Because of this, we can host it locally, on aphrodite, and not ping 3000 or be unable to chat when the internet goes down or goes lossy
2) Also, this way we’re not dependent on one person – if you disappear or can’t pay for the vent server, it’s gone
3) It supports linux as well as windows and mac (mac through a third party)
Hopefully the next release will up the quality a bit by supporting higher sampling rates.
