Voice chat room advice needed

I'm thinking about adding a voice chat room to my site. A place where site members can go and talk in real time (maybe with a "who's online" feature).

The thing is it's been a while since I've...

Re: HostGator hosting slow; suggestion?

Also, I noticed you're promoting the v200...

Re: HostGator hosting slow; suggestion?

The problem has been addressed, both online and over phone, with blatant ignorance. Apparently, it's nothing to do with them and my it's fault.

Mentoring service?

I'm sure I saw someone offer a mentoring service last year (David Keith?). I can't find it now though. Did it not last? I seem to recall it was $$ for X time and questions involved.

Re: HostGator hosting slow; suggestion?

That's not a very constructive response. I offer a free service and don't have the funds to pay out $$$ each month for a dedicated server. Nor should I need to.
