Also posted at ISN.

We tried this a while back and it never took off, but for those who want to try again...Skype is a great way to have a multiperson chat that remains running even when nobody is online. I prefer it over AIM, MSN, and IRC and use it for coordinating wars in online games (so I am almost always signed in). You don't need a mic or a cam, we'd just use the text chat feature.

If you want to have a water warfare room, post your Skype name and I will add you. Skype is totally free.

I would prefer that I set up a vent server, but I guess skype works. How many people can we have in one chat room at a time?

Couple hundred I think. I've seen close to 200 people in a gaming room once. What is Vent, never heard of it?

There's also Chatroll. I learned about it from Nerf Mods & Reviews. It's free to host it on your website, but free accounts can only hold up to 10 people, you have to upgrade for more capacity.

I still have the IRC room in ChatZilla we had going last summer. it automatically starts the room when i open chatzilla.

as for skype, you can add me to the group, but dont expect me to be there much as im only on skype once in a while.

skype name: spectrace

We should probably organize times to be on, as the chances of going on when others are on is so slim.

This will also work on the ipod app, right?

Yes. I have accessed it from the app, and it worked fine. I hate the keyboard though.

Wish I could be one of them... I had no idea so many people on here had Skype accounts.

It's free to get an account and it only took me 1 minute to make one.

I had a seperate account, but simply made another account for this. I'm quite paranoid. I actually encrypted my files at school so others couldn't acces them.
