   Alrighty friends I'd figured we'd try something here. Many of us love talking to each other but since there is no live chat here it isn't as fun as it could be. So i think we should share any other sites we can be together on with each other. However with the many spammers that visit these forums, posting links publicly wouldn't be a good idea. So how about we just say something like:

   "I'm available on Myspace, Twitter, and Facebook. PM me for links."

   Now I realize some of you may not go for this and many won't be helped by this but I think it's a neat idea to bring some of us together more so what do ya say?

   Good idea Chip. I have better online friends than real world friends now; (says a lot for my life style, lol).

   I'm available on Steam, Skype, AIM, and Facebook, though I don't visit my facebook often (only got one to stay in contact with a giveaway friend and an old work colleague) I prefer to use Steam first (partly becasue I have Steam running for most of the day and night) and Skype second. I also have a microsoft messenger, but haven't used that for about 6 years. I've never used Twitter yet, but am willing to try if enough members can convince me it's cool. :)

   How come you don't use the GOTD Steam user group? The Steam client is free. You can get free games though it as an added plus. It has an instant messaging system to chat with everyone on your friends list or in any group you may already belong to (GOTD). Just a suggestion because I know you brought this up before and I started thinking that you already had the tools in place to do what you wanted. It only requires that a person install Steam (which I see as someone's only complaint). That's not much of a complaint though if it allows you to social network in real time.

   Just throwing an idea out there for ya.

   That's a good idea 2-sheds. We've tried to get the community involved but it always seems to peter out after a short time. Me and Wizzard tried to get interest going in the giveaway group and some members did join in - in fact we had some really good games of HL2 Deathnatch and a few games of UT2007. I'd restart the servers if I knew there was enough interest out there. I spent too many Sturday and Sunday evenings waiting for friends to come on line so am wary about re-starting. However I think Wizzard suggested that we set specific times rather than have servers open all night. the hardest part is finfing a time that's suitable for a wide section of the community with respect to time zones. I never wanted it to become zone orientated as half the fun of such a social network is chatting and playing games with people from all over the world.

   If enough community members say they are interested I'd be happy to resume setting up servers at least a few times each month. :)

   I may try steam again now the hardware has changed, but the last time I tried it I found I didn't have something it had to have to run.

   And I don't do Myspace, Facebook or Twitter. oops.

   I'm available on (in order of most activity): these forums, Facebook, GooFans forums, Bit-Blot forums.
   I am not frequently on: Steam (I hate the DRM and memory sucking)
   I am never on: MSN, Yahoo!, Twitter (I wonder why I got one)
   I'll be on Google Talk when I check my Gmail, but how likely is it that I'll be on at the same time?
