Hello I am a member of the Zone BBS I don't understand how to go to the voice chat
system. It tells me no users on voice chat I click on that link then I find this text that says
no users on voice chat why not be the first I don't get it. Can I please get help?

hey.

first off, I have been on the zone for around a year now, and have barely seen the voice chat system in use (I have, like twice, but it's not used much)

as for using it, you have to go to the voice chat link from the homepage and download the client.

that's all I know. you're probably best asking a cl or admin, but I wanted to respond so you didn't feel excluded

The ad man told me that I could use TeamTalk on my iPod touch to access the voice chat
system but I'm having trouble accessing it.

I'm having trouble opening the link that you sent me but I'm going to type it in manually
to see if I could find it more easier thanks for the link.

I've wondered why the voice chat system isn't used much anymore. I remember it used to be. But now I rarely see anyone on it. Did it just fall out of favor with people?

I think Skype is what most use now.

You can also go to the main zone home page and then find the link labeled team talk to get to the same place.

Skype's popular but requires folks to know your Skype ID. The Zone chat system anyone can join a room that is open anyway.

There are also a lot of people who prefer to frequent different voice chat servers where you don't have to register on the site first. With those servers, you can usually have a mix of all of your friends be they blind, sited, registered with the zone or not registered all on the same server hanging out.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to suggest that the zone change their voice chat system; it's fine as it is now. It's for members, and that's how it should always be. However, the members are just not using it.
