I think this forum needs a voice chat!

I think the idea is interesting. However, given the extra things it would take to moderate such a thing (because I think they would want to, given that it's part of a moderated site), I think making it actually belonging to or as part of the forum would only be doable if the staff is willing to do it. And if not, I understand.

The same goes for the chatbox. It's something they were willing to do. It is arguably much easier to keep an eye on (right on the site, no headphones needed, etc.), but all the same.

Someone else setting one up and the staff letting the link be around somewhere, even just having a thread dedicated to it, would be a nice in-between. Then see what happens from there. Who knows, maybe it'll turn out all awesome and convince the staff to change their mind.
