I wasn't commenting on anything other than the existence of Ventrilo, VR. You disappoint me, what with you always asking others why they comment on your posts outside the language you used.
Let me refresh your memory.

If you don't think my comment is related to what you said then you are either being disingenuous, are not fluent in the english language or you are seriously high.
Holy shit VR! You started harping on me for suggesting a windows only application, when as you quoted all I said was Ventrilo exists, I didnt even partake in the whole discussion. You are really weird. If you go to the magma forums, watch out for the troll VR. Every post I made this weekend you jumped on with some bullshit and insults. Just watch, VR will be back with some more bullshit.
Looks suitable. The host just needs to add any new players to the group call as they join the game.
If anyone wants to help test Skype group calls, let me know. Add jasonmh9 as a contact. I'm curious to see if members of the call can mute other members (who are talking too much).
Omi thinks too many Myth-ers won't use Skype because it's Microsoft's. If that's true, and we give up the idea of Linux usage, AIM & Yahoo Msgr are widely-used alternatives.
Yeah Mumble is probably the best candidate (cross-platform, low latency, etc) and NewMutator had a server up for a while (maybe he still does). Alternatively, Skype is ok in a pinch if you don't have a server, but I'm not sure if there's Linux support?

Skype supports Linux, WinXP, Classic Mac OS, and OS X. I'm concerned about the community relying on 1 person to always keep a server up...unless the GoS or MariusNet people are volunteering to be that server. But whatever, just be nice to see people start using something. I set my Skype up

If there was enough need I imagine GoS or PM could put up a Mumble server, but so far there have been various options.
Well if anyone is curious about Spa's Ventrilo server in the meantime, go here. I know some Mac users get on it, haven't spotted Linux Mythers on GoS, so I don't know what their options would be.
No problem in reviving a thread if you have something to add or ask.
There is a thread on GoS with a teamspeak server listed. As for why others picked Mumble or Ventrilo, it really just depends on the person who decided to host or rent a server. Some prefer one over the others.
