Here's an idea that we could use as well as the message boards.

I think we should all get on one of the new voice chat systems. VoxChat, Ventrilo, and PalTalk were the ones I had in mind. They are all free and microphones are cheap. We could set aside a certain evening during the week where we could all get together on the server and actually talk, not type, about coasters. We could have a TR exchange and general discussions. Let me know what you think.

Message boards are a place to interact and move on (for most people, anyway). Live stuff isn't conducive to the way people use the Internet. That would be like calling a friend of mine and waiting for them to get home and talk, only worse since you don't generally know anyone personally.

I agree, jeff.
I usually am on C-buzz from work, (system is way faster than mine at home.) I could not 'voice' with anyone while i'm here...
