I think it's a fantastic idea... I need more semi-intellectual idle chit-chat in my life, and I think this would be a great way to get it. So far, I have been pretty disappointed with IRC chat, every time I go there it's just a bunch of people ignoring each other... waiting for what, I'm not sure, I'm just saying it's a shame that the rules of TFP don't extend to the chat (contribute! participate!) At least with voice chat people would either be actively involved (or not), and you'd know who you're talking to and who's just listening in. I seriously doubt there would be as many people leaving the client running, only to be irritated by other people's voice chat, without any intention of actually participating. I agree that the forums are a beautiful thing, but it's fun to have unedited conversation, full of slip-ups and miscues.

Anyway, I have all necessary equipment, and I'd use it at least once a week, 2-3 tops, assuming other people were there to talk to.
