I thought the Sunday night chats ImmInst used to do were awesome. I'm kind of sad that they ended. What was the problem?

We've had some great chats:

The limiting factor has been my current focus to advance a for-profit AI company, Novamente LLC. However, I encourage others to take the Sunday night chat torch and run! Please feel free to find a chat participant and then notify ImmInst Leadership.

I'm in there all the time, but I am usually busy in the evenings. 9-6pm EST on weekdays, I am always available to chat (just don't tell my employer).
I have been in there a couple times recently during the day, and I see funkodyssey and opales in there often when I am. I would like to see the chat become more popular though.

It would be cool to do these as large-scale conference calls and then podcast them. Having a guest speaker on these periodically would be cool. I guess the cost is really the issue as these services aren't that cheap but we may see some VOIP stuff that works over the internet over the next couple of years.

You can make conference calls with Skype, as I am willing to bet you can with some of the other VOIP apps out there (ZOEP, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, etc.). I have also seen various programs out there that record Skype sessions to an .mp3 for podcasting (some people call it Skypecasting if you do it like this).
Cool idea (and more importantly, free!) if we could get some people willing to do it. I would be willing to help out anyone trying to get this off the ground (I don't think it would be too time consuming, just getting people to all show up at the same time would be the biggest challenge). Could be used for "debates" as well or a variety of other applications.

Sounds Like a plan I think we need more tahn just the written word to get our thoughts together.
I am a big fan of voip. I use myphonecompany.com for my homephone. 24.99 no long distance about 3 cents overseas. I can call Montana as easy and as free as calling my local walmart. Its not on my comp its plugged into a router and then into a small box that looks like a wall jack and then to regular old cordless phone.
I can even set up a local number for free anywhere in the US. So if anyone needed to call me often I could make it a local call.
I downloaded a free mysql database radio broadcaster the other day , Gonna play with it on my site might be helpful here if I ever get time. Oh yea as far as conference calls cheaply all we need is a teamspeak server we have one for my guild on wow up to 20 connections and it works well. The server we have is a 15 dollar a month server. But if a memebr had a pretty nice comp you can get the software and attempt to run it .
So options for new chat program
1. Voip
2. Teamspeak
3. Rogerwilco
There are numerous Teamspeak like programs out there rogerwilco is one and Id have to research to name them all.

I have never actually tried it either, but it looks fairly simple and I know lots of people are always talking about it on here, plus it is the biggest VOIP provider. As I linked to in my original point, they apparently do support conference calls. Again, I don't really care, I was just making one suggestion, I just think it might be a nice change of pace from the regular chat (and hopefully get some more people on the chat). I guess I would need to get a headset though.

Aah, yea I did a search and it looks like Skype is limited to either 5 or 10 people.
I remember awhile back using some Yahoo chat rooms that allowed you to use both text chatting as well as voice chatting (audio) at the same time, it was pretty neat. If we did ever come up with a voice chat, we could record an .mp3 of the chat and archive it as well, I expect.
I would just like to see some regular text chat at the moment though, since it seems as if that has slowed down. (doesn't even have to be any "official" chats, just more people in the chat room throughout the day)

Text chats are preferable, in that they are text-searchable, which helps in the archives.
I'm not trying to be argumentative (really I'm not!), but I don't think that the scope of new projects should be limited to text-searchability because that would limit a lot of audio/video/etc. things that might be available to bringing in new people and generating interest. If something generated interest, but did not have text-searchability (including audio chats) I do not think it should be discounted for that reason alone.
That being said, the lack of text chats as of late makes me think that it is not the right time to try to "expand" this feature anyway.

I know, I didn't say text chats are mandatory, just preferable. Actually, if we had someone willing to either transcribe audio chats, or at least give time indexes to key statements of interest (with transcriptions of the key statements if possible), that would alleviate most of my concerns about text-searchability.I'm not trying to be argumentative (really I'm not!), but I don't think that the scope of new projects should be limited to text-searchability because that would limit a lot of audio/video/etc. things that might be available to bringing in new people and generating interest.
