Skype - Chat

[Jimmy1]

I am thinking of starting a bit of a Skype chat thing happening, so that if people really need, they can contact someone and have a chat. Mind you, nobody is as good as a therapist, but some days it's nice to talk to someone who understands.

And remember, all of us have off days too so we might not be available.

Now, you don't need a webcam, just a mic and speakers and a computer.

I have already had a chat to Wagon and that was great. His webcam scared the hell out of me as he had just woken up though. Anyway, Cams are optional.

I would like your opinion.

I'm in. Just need to download the app. Already have a headset with mic. No camera though. Might pass on that, kinda' like the Medusa thing if ya'll look my way. :ROFLMAO:

We'll also have to set up a time line so people will call at times that others can respond. Being a world community that we are.

Well, I'm still kinda stuck in the stone age where computers are concerned, but if you gents walk me through it. No camera, wouldn't know where to plug it in. (I heard that, Jar). Hee,

Actually if you're looking for a camera the range of pricing and plug and playability is good. Easiest way to go would be for one that's USB compatible. You'd just plug it in and your computer would recognize it. Then load any software that came with it.

I could sit my dogs in front of the camera, at least they're cute and fun to watch. :D

Sounds interesting. I might log in, but I'm not much of a conversationalist. I'd have to listen to peeps for a while to get to know them some before I open up much. If the conversation is moving along, I have a hard time jumping in.

I use TeamSpeak, a voice over internet program when I play one of my online games. Listening and occasionally adding my 2 copper is about all I usually do. It helps with the loneliness of sitting in my computer room all day, every day.

Well, you know when sometimes you really need to chat to someone, not trauma stuff, just chat, whether your lonely, or just want to get something off your chest. That is my main idea.

A bit of a conference call every now and then would be cool too.

Having a party line or team speak set up at the moment might not be that great, we will see.

Let's just see where this goes. We don't want people pissed with one another and calling up on Skype to vent their spleen. lol.

Have no problem with it , if people are willing to speak to my grumpy ass

So how would we go about getting into said Skype Chat place? I've tried to use the chat room in here many times, but there is never any one in there.

I don't think the chat room function here has ever been used. It would also allow us to have a group conversation, kinda' like teamspeak or other VOIP apps.
