Community Skype Chat?

[Big Momma]

Would anyone on the forums be up for a Kanzenshuu Skype group? Not to take away from the IRC, but I've noticed it's not all that active. I was thinking that perhaps more people use Skype, so why not have a group chat on there? I've heard you can have upwards of 300 people in a Skype chat (Not that we'd need that many spots), and I think it's something more people use. Of course, I'm sure there may be people who are put off, or less inclined to do voice chat, but this can strictly be for text (And I think there is a smaller limit on calls, 20 or less, IIRC).

So would anyone be up for that? I just figured I'd throw the idea out there, perhaps to get more active chat groups. If there's enough people interested, we can just start posting our Skype names and get a group going.

Don't you need to pay to have a big party chat on Skype?

Not sure on if you were to try and cram like 50 or so people in a chat, but I'm on Skype almost constantly, and one group of me and my friends has a good 20 people (though most are never on all at once) and it works just fine for free.

I'de be down for a skype group. Most of my skype friends are random people I've met online anyway.

[Saiyan Prince Vegeta]

It could be cool actually.

[bkev]

Count me in if this goes somewhere.

[Gyt Kaliba]

I can't promise I'd be super active all the time even if I'm on a lot, but I'd be willing to give it a go too, yeah.

[Hellspawn28]

I sign on Skype every day. My Skype username is hellspawn289, be free to add me.

[Big Momma]

Sweet, glad to see some interest in this. I'm gonna those who have posted, and anyone else feel free to add me and I"ll put you into the convo.

..We have an IRC? I had no idea.

But, I'd like to join! It would be fun!

My Skype is "Sinclair5198".

[Ryuman]

I guess there ain't much of a reason not to.
I'll show up as pointlessname

[Gyt Kaliba]

Oh yeah, I never did post mine here despite talking about it, haha. Since it seems there's some interest in it though, my name on skype is - Gyt Kaliba. Yeah, I'm original, I know.

[Big Momma]

Got a nice little group going of 6 people so far, feel free to send me a message/contact request to be let in!

[Hellspawn28]

It would be cool if we got more people to join.

That's only if you turn on webcams.

Anyway, my Skype is blaataap92 - I'm pretty much always on because I leave my PC to do stuff even when I'm asleep, but that doesn't always mean I'm there or able to accept calls (the other people in the house get mad if I start talking at 3 AM ;p)

Updating a little bit here...

You can add me as Inikalord. Be sure to mention you are from Kanzenshuu so that I won't ignore you.

[ShadowDude112]

Count me in on this! Skype name is my forum name. shadowdude112. I know a few people on here already have me added, like BigMomma.

Okay, someone will have to explain this to me, since I'm very new to skype (I've only used it once for a podcast). Do I just sign in, join a group and start talking to whoever is on? Are you guys using mics or the chatbox? Please excuse my ignorance.

You just sign in, and then get added to the group by someone in it, and then...well, from there you chat away. Mics are always an option, but so far it's mostly been text-based conversations (which works for me, given how rarely I'm alone to use a microphone in the first place).

[Big Momma]

Yeah, just log in, add anyone in this thread to your contacts, and they'll add you into the Skype chat.
