Skype Chat

Ok, so while this is a forum and it will always remain our primary form of communication I'd quite like to give a big skype chat group a chance. I understand this might not be to everyone's taste - getting contact notifications on discussions you aren't involved in, etc.

So, a heads up: You can set skype to not give you notifications on certain discussions. If you simply type the following into a chat box, it'll make certain things happen:

/alertsoff - turns out norifications.
/alertson Dazz - tells you whenever somebody says the word "Dazz" in the chat. Obviously this can be changed to something else!
/golive - start a voice chat. If the group has over 24 members, the call button is disabled. Typing /golive allows voice chat to be used, but be aware that if there are too many people this will probably be one hell of a noisy thing to jump into.




To join, simply copy paste the following link into a browser's address bar:
skype:?chat&blob=VxgMCpCr-Q7nyKiz_26mifBTlukAMW9246xOZfA0y_TDlw4XXiO7OFGtqIybSL_6I9Ht58kaQpJIUQJ9]skype:?chat&blob=VxgMCpCr-Q7nyKiz_26mifBTlukAMW9246xOZfA0y_TDlw4XXiO7OFGtqIybSL_6I9Ht58kaQpJIUQJ9

Or ask somebody else already in the chat to add you. As you can imagine we'll be needing some time to set this up properly so it's not going to be smooth instantly. I'll be adding chat moderators as they're needed or staff join in.
It's still possible to be kicked from the group, or made silent so you can only read messages.
