well see the thing is I don't want it too bloated, and those are (no offense) the kind of bloaty crap that aol likes to use...and they really wouldn't serve a purpose because this is just going to be for use in a local network, it's not meant for just chatting...I suppose I should have been more clear with its purpose. Basically, it's going to be for me and my buddy who do a lot of work on our networks (we just linked our lans up with wireless links) and also for everyone elses use during gaming because most games (like cs, ut, etc) only allow talking to teammates or like in cs if you die you can't continue to communicate with those who are alive. We use voice communication via ventrilo, but when we have teams split up sometimes you want to talk strategy and that's not a good idea when you're all in the same venrilo server....anyway, basically I'm not looking for frills, I'm looking for features that might help us out in regards to sed purposes.
