It's hard to reconcile that erratic use with the plaintive calls for the chat so many so dearly miss. "I REALLY miss that thing I used maybe a half dozen times per year". Uh huh. I don't think it's the occasional episodic chatter who's experiencing the Longing, and I DO think those who are would enjoy Skype group chats (and calls, something impossible in wotmania chat) a great deal. It's not wotmania chat, but it retains many, if not all, of the same features, and compensates for those it lacks by adding new and useful ones. It's not everyones cup of tea, I realize, but no one's in the wilderness unless they wish to be, in which case, again: Not my fault, responsibility or problem.

It's the same deal regardless, however; if I'd known a better way to maintain SOME kind of wotmanaic group chat, or if someone who did had done so, I wouldn't have bothered creating Skype chats exclusively for wotmania and RAFO (and the first group chat I made on there was for wotmanaia, not RAFO; I created it and if you hadn't logged into wotmania at least once I wouldn't add you, but make a separate group chat instead).

Maybe being an American has made me hypersensitive to the whole "We're VERY upset at how you're doing the thing we want but refuse to do for ourselves!" thing. Many people seem to care just enough to find fault, but not solutions. I'm tired of indulging that kind of attitude.
