Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Yeah but it's easier because you don't have to go to a site to use it. I leave it open on my computer pretty much all the time and you can leave messages even when a person is not on.
That really sucks. They're making webchat skype (so you can use it in a browser) but it's only beta right now, so only people with invitations can use it.
Nice, lol. It's so true though... I don't see how Skype would make that any better. If we don't have a time where all three of us are free, then we don't have a time where all three of us are free; it's not like the medium through which we communicate changes that. I realize that it's somewhat like texting, but in that case, why can't we just have a group message on our phones? Actually, why don't we?
