"Ability"? Joel Send a noteboard - 15/11/2010 01:09:15 PM
You really shouldn't be wondering why nobody is interested in Skype chat, then. Something tells me you don't remember WoTmania chat very well.

I didn't realize typing in your name and password was such a challenging skill; have you considered just staying logged in to things? Then you just have to turn on your computer.

I remember wotmania and its chat, at least what I witnessed, though I concede I didn't enter wotmania chat until around '06 or '07, IIRC. Bottom line remains the same: If you're complaining something you never use is slow BECAUSE you never use it, that's your doing, no one elses, so I find it hard to be sympathetic. As with so much else in the whole "WTF Is Chat?!!!" saga I feel anyone who dislikes how things are should stop complaining and do something about it, or stop complaining and live with it. Note the running theme. ;)

There were a lot of folks wetting themselves and rioting when Mike announced wotmanias closure, too. Then there were others who took matters into their own hands and did something to preserve our beloved community online. I haven't always agreed with the methods chosen, but I either accept what they HAVE accomplished, with gratitude, or do it better. Since I can't do the latter I try to do the former, if with mixed success.

Also note I'm not implying I "accomplished" anything by downloading a piece of free software, but I think you take my point.

WTF? RAFO doesn't have a chat? - 14/11/2010 12:55:00 AM 1050 Views
My heart breaks for you. *NM* - 14/11/2010 01:00:54 AM 257 Views
Wow, blast from the past there... assuming it's you? *NM* - 14/11/2010 01:06:32 AM 373 Views
Who else would it be? - 14/11/2010 01:10:26 AM 711 Views
Nope, but there are multiple Skype chats dedicated to RAFO. - 14/11/2010 01:21:16 AM 620 Views
Because Skype is not made for permanent chatrooms and we get tired of waiting days for a message. *NM* - 14/11/2010 02:30:09 AM 265 Views
No? I would say it kind of is, actually. - 14/11/2010 06:01:25 AM 590 Views
IRC is better. - 14/11/2010 06:38:02 AM 606 Views
A whole lot has to do with how often you log in to Skype. - 14/11/2010 02:59:45 PM 666 Views
Thank you for proving my point. Most people have no interest in logging in daily. *NM* - 14/11/2010 10:25:49 PM 277 Views
Then I dare say there's no problem. - 15/11/2010 01:16:40 AM 571 Views
So you only care about people who have the ability to log in every day? - 15/11/2010 01:41:06 AM 741 Views

I must say I'm with Ghavrel on this one - 15/11/2010 01:46:03 PM 762 Views
Fair enough then. - 15/11/2010 02:02:34 PM 679 Views
Just how hard is getting mIRC and setting up a channel? *NM* - 15/11/2010 01:31:33 PM 319 Views
Sometimes it seems like the REAL complaint is that no one else makes it as effortless as Mike did - 15/11/2010 02:07:52 PM 479 Views
That's okay, mIRC is 20 years out of date too. - 15/11/2010 03:08:21 PM 626 Views
Ah, maybe right up my alley then. - 15/11/2010 04:17:15 PM 669 Views
*sigh - 14/11/2010 02:31:40 AM 680 Views
I feel shame for you. *NM* - 14/11/2010 02:35:20 AM 317 Views
why? *NM* - 16/11/2010 04:42:01 PM 327 Views
That you even went to Skype chat with them and found out. *shudders* - 16/11/2010 05:39:41 PM 557 Views
i'm no longer part of skype chat, so you're fine to go in. *NM* - 16/11/2010 07:28:58 PM 378 Views
Honey, it ain't you. *NM* - 16/11/2010 07:58:36 PM 327 Views
RAFO isn't wotmania either. - 14/11/2010 03:17:03 PM 700 Views
