The Main Reason for this post is to decide the popularity of the voice programs.
Since i currently host both a Teamspeak server and Ventrilo server and am currently in the process of creating a website for my supporters.

I would like your opinions as to which is the better program and why you think it is, since i will be basing these results on which Server i keep and provide statistics for on the website. For those that have not heard of these programs i will include a short description of each program and the websites they can be found at.

I would choose Teamspeak any day, mainly because I have used it in the past, and I have a clear understanding how it works. And it has an extensive permissions feature, which I can limit of what my Admin's can and cant do.

Team Speak rules
This is the best program for multiplayer games!!

[Florisjuh]

Teamspeak all the way xD

For its linux compatibility

Teamspeak 2 is much better than Ventrilo. Ventrilo was a bit better than Teamspeak 1 but Teamspeak 2 is better than Ventrilo. because the connection is better and the registration is also a think i think which will be used in the future.

I must pick Teamspeak hands down. I use it for playing with online team game's like call of duty. With teamspeak it seems alot more clearer and the system i find is easier to use. Teamspeak is easier to set up aswell.

Hey man. Keep up using Teamspeak and delete Ventrilo from your system. Teamspeak is really better it is faster uses less computer resources and many more reasons. It is just great while Ventrilo is more like nothing special. Any serious games in fps will use Teamspeak while Ventrilo made its success in the warcraft community and it is not better for certain check out the pole.

I use Ventrilo because I was fed up with the very low voice quality of TeamSpeak.

Teamspeak vs Ventrilo
Teamspeak 2 Vs Ventrilo

The biggest trait goes to... Teamspeak!

You see, it's loyalty to the first use of teamspeak...
People know what teamspeak, it's what they preference...
They choose it because they trust is and it's more popular...
If you had a clan leader using ventrilo and a recruit joined with his new teamspeak server...
I bet you the clan would be using the Teamspeak server!
And by golly, I've seen more free teamspeak servers than ventrilo... What did I say about popularity?

Ventrilo by far
Teamspeak 2 Vs Ventrilo

The problem with teamspeak is the application runs a higher process but is more "user friendly" so to speak but ventrilo is a small app that runs solely in the background and gives you the best clearity ive yet to see it all also depends on use for both .Exe's if you prefer just chat then yes teamspeak but if your a gamer or your pc isnt the best deffinately ventrilo ugt servers are the best by the way but your choice is yours you also have more options for ventrilo in the sense of user customization like you can put special settings for different users to loud to quite kind of thing
