Alright doggs, here's the lowdown:
Skype is the internet phone.
I feel like I don't talk to enough people.
www.skype.com (http://www.skype.com)
Download it and stuff.
My name on there is kungfupants
Make it happen, lets chat.
-
I see Tommy must have bought those sweets.
-

-
Skype scares me a little bit, because people seem so much more likely to use voice/video chat there than on MSN, but at the same time, I wish more people used Skype than MSN, so I could just ditch MSN entirely.
Oh, yeah, I think I'm mariashasa on there.
-
christianfriisjensen, people. Feel free to hit me up.
-
Skype is not finding you. Stupid Skype.
People can add me if they are not total creepers. thelizparade is the one you're after (Fargo, ND if you get multiple results).
-
Mine is Zingoleb.
I'm never on it, though, but if I get broadband again I will randomly pop up on it.
-
I haven't used skype in forever, but my computer automatically logs me in. When I get home tomorrow, I'll check to see what my username is.
-
ackblom12
At least I'm consistent.
-
thelizparade is the name I use pretty much everywhere else, but I came up with it after I joined the forums, so I don't use it here.
So shush.
-
I deleted it from my computer when somebody randomly called and talked to my mother, who got quite freaked out by the whole thing. I might reinstall it and just set it to "don't start on windows start".
And my guess is that my name is Snalin, can't remember though.
I've always been Snalin on the internet. If I ever write a book, it will be under the pseudonym Snalin. If I make a video game, I'll add an important NPC named Snalin. I'm kinda close to that guy, he's me, just on the internet, so he's instantly cooler.
-
man, i haven't skyped with you fuckers in ages.
i think most of you know my skype name. if you don't, just pm me cause its my actual name and i don't want strange internet people knowing that.
-
weird
-
I fucking live on skype.
More than one forumite has seen me do the following: put on makeup, make food, drink, fall asleep, play with my cat, read, paint, and other assorted actions
-
Skype is not finding you. Stupid Skype.
Hmm, odd.
I'm rarely online, maybe that's why.
-
aj.fisk.ii
Find meeeee.
-
im so lonely
-
You're lame.
-
im sorry!
-
I am pretty sure that I am est_xplosif, but I prob won't be around until some time next week after I'm done studying.
-
I have a skype phone! It's pretty rad! It means I'm on skype 24/7 if I have reception.
shkype name is simonvansintjan
If you murder me in my sleep I will be very disappointed with you, internet
-
Hmm, odd.
I'm rarely online, maybe that's why.
This was a hint for you to add me.
Hint, hint.
-

-
I just got skype to join the party so add me!
allisonmaryelizabeth is my username. It's also my actual name. Weeeeird.
-
sam get yr ass on skype or else
-
I'm so worried that no one will want to be my skype friend.
-
If you were really worried, you wouldn't have even joined so as not to have to even face the possibility of rejection. says the guy with no skype account. What? Just a coincidence!
Seriously though? You're a girl saying "This is how you can get in touch with me." I suspect you'll get some Skype friends. :wink:
-
I have a skype.
-
teresias216
-
I'm not terribly interested in talking to forumites though. Sorry
-
Yeah, well, we don't want to talk to you either!
you fucker
-
hi hannah
-
hey tyler
-
I should get on Meebo sometime.
-
I don't know about this whole skype thing, but I did sign up with the name reedbad
-
Okay now someone teach me how to use this thing.
Also I am kind of shy.
-

Oh my gosh those were thinking noises don't make me sound so dirty :c
(Spooky_kitty yaaay old user names)
-
And then worst of all
You never call baby
When you say you will
But I love you still
-
i need you more than anyone, darling
you know that i have from the start
so build me up buttercup, don't break my heart
-
I'm Lunchbawx but I suspect my new shitty internet will not allow me to voice chat, and I gave my webcam away so no more of that sadly.
-
Lockdown125 or Lockdown127. (I have two, I can't remember which one I used latest)
I haven't used Skype since it first came out.
-
I don't want to talk to any of you people. Sorry.
(I have skype, but I never remember I actually do have it until someone complains about it meebo, but this almost always happens when I'm watching a movie or getting ready for sleep. So I'm just no good at this skype thing.)
-
Skype keeps telling me to sign up for some premium package so I can pay for shit which isn't cool. Can you chat via skype for free, but if you pay for premium you can call actual phones and whatnot?
(also I'm silentj1018 if anybody's interested)
-
The premium thing means you can call regular phones and mobiles for cheap as free and it comes off your credit card or something. If you only plan to use the internet voice chat thing rather than using it as a VOIP line then the free version should do you fine.
jimmy-the-squid, motherlovers.
-
My skype name is princ.y, when you search my real name comes up as 'jmrz'.
Please don't call me without asking first! I am signed in on skype all the time, but I may not actually be at my computer, so just send me a skypechat IM too. Also! I can skype on my iPhone, as long as I am at home or have wifi somewhere.
-
Oh I have broadband now so in theory I could do this. But I don't have a mic and I am lazy and I actually hate you all.
Except you Tyler, I love you for your avatar.
-
Get a mic, jodie, they are cheap, you can get them everywhere.
-
Or get a headset, then you won't have skype coming out of your computer speakers and there being an echo. I hate the sound of my voice when I hear it on skype, so if I hear it I tend to talk less.
-
I know, I just calibrated my mic in Windows and it does that thing where you have to say stuff and it plays it with a half second delay right back in your ears. It's really disconcerting. I sound so silly.
-
bob.dolemite
-
I hate it when there's a delay/echo because then I'm always pausing and talking slowly/strangely in an attempt to make it stop and people are all double-you-tee-eff?
-
phil.boelsche I believe is me name on thurr.
-
Tyler I'm sorry I didn't skype you last night, I was so shy. Next time I will bring Jack Daniels and I won't be so nervous.
-
Yay
-
oh hey, yeah, skype name.
Mine is erisuss
-
JewManchu82
it's 5:30 am and I am sobering up (which is lame) and y'all should skype me.
-
Hmm, odd.
I'm rarely online, maybe that's why.
This was a hint for you to add me.
Hint, hint.
I added you like three days ago.
..the FUCK!?!
-
Okay I searched again and it found you. Added.
(I never got an authorization request from you, so that's odd.)
-
Goddamnit technology sucks. Either way I'm online now, hung over and bored. Hit me up!
-
Oh my god last night was the drunkest skype.
-
Really? I don't remember that.
-
Really Kris? Are you sure all the vodka you drank doesn't have anything to do with that?
-
I should uninstall it
-
I just got this thing. Skype me if you wish, I don't have a mike though so I can only type at you.
robbie.eisler
-
electricK.fire
:-D
-
I should uninstall it
No.
-
I should uninstall it
Uninstalling skype has freed up a surprising amount of time. Today I only sat staring at a laptop screen for three hours instead of the usual eight.
-
Pants, I've been trying to type at you for the past four days, but the skype on my phone has been acting all weird. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude.

Your logic holds weight.
-
who's down for skype right now?
-
I am.
-
Robbie you need to get a mic. We could have epic Skype chats about how I will some day come to Scotland to hang out with you. Just as soon as I get a lot of money.
-
I am.
Jimmy has the most charming accent. Dang.
And he caught me at a bad time when I was overwhelmed b like fifty IMs and real life shit. Sorry Jimmy!
Anyone else?
-
Mine is cssblahblah. I don't think it will work very well though.

Its all good, when the weekend rolls round (Friday-Sunday/monday morning) I pretty much abandon the internet and wander out into the meatlife.
Fridays are spent playing Blood Bowl, doing Kung Fu, then hanging out at the store or playing D&D.
Saturdays are spent sleeping, doing Kung Fu, then working at the store.
Sundays are spent sleeping, helping people move/going to the lake/river, video games with the flatmate.
I forget that I have a computer until like 1am monday morning.
-
Guys, where do I get a cheap headset? I want to Skype too! I used to talk into some headphones but that didn't really work well.
-
Any mass retailer (Wal-Mart, Target, your English equivalent of the two) or electronics store, really. Anywhere that sells computer accessories should have one.
Lummer and successfully skyped today, after all that hassle of adding each other. If you like guitars he is a dude to talk to! We had fun!
-
My roommate's asleep, and I've got a good buzz/drunk going. Someone should hit me the fuck up. Plus, I'm watching bloodsport, which is one of those movies that is so awesome when you are a kid, but now it so terrible that it becomes entertaining to watch again!
(reedbad is my name if you missed it earlier)
-
I finally managed to get Skype to open, and after ten minutes of trying to add someone, they finally popped up as online. The second I IMed them, it crashed and now it won't open again?
Forget you, Mr. Skype.
-
I have given Est/Ben enough trouble for one night. Srsly.
I'll just re-download it later and try it again.
-
Had a fun skype with lunchy, phil and dollface. It took like 2 or 3 hours before we started playing songs on the kazoo and singing.
They were making fun of my american accent.
-
You could open a HotTopic with all that irony.
-

D'aaawwwww <3
Minor update: The thing with the chick that came over went COMPLETELY awry. I'll give you the full scoop later.
-
Oh man I want all the juicy details.
Okay, maybe not all of them but now I am really curious!
(P.S. <3)
-
My skype name is daviddovey and I just got Skype on my iPhone so shit is gonna get wild up in this bitch I am sure.
-
I realised when I downloaded skype I have neither webcam nor microphone. I think their may be those very items kicking around my house somewhere so after work I will have a look. Then I should be able to skype with all you skypeable people.
-

Do any of you guys know what Exalted is? Would three to five people be interested in joining me for a Dragon-blooded game over skype one night (or more if it is enjoyed) a week?
If you need the books, I have electronic copies that I can send out. To give you an idea of what it is, imagine most animes, and there ya go.
-
i do not know what exalted is but i do have skype and sometimes i talk to people over it and we could still do that thing where we have a conversation or something i mean if you want and if that is a thing you still do, actually anyone here can feel free to add me.
my username's _________ because i am no fun.
-
also while on the topic of skype my terrifying dad once tried to call his son in law in the netherlands but because he did not have his reading glasses on he instead called darryl whose skype was set so that it automatically answers and starts webcam and also he was naked so i am about 90% sure darryl unintentionally showed my dad his junk.
darryl i hope this was an okay story to tell.
-
That is the best story.
-
Necro because this doesn't happen enough. I have a new Skype screen name; it is iamajeangenie and you kids should add me.
-
i am about 90% sure darryl unintentionally showed my dad his junk.
darryl i hope this was an okay story to tell.
I missed this post before!
I'm concerned that the way you told the story made it sound like I'm one of those guys that waves his junk around for people on webcam
I want to make it perfectly clear that nobody (besides Tania's dad) has seen my junk on webcam. I'm just careless sometimes.
-
but you ARE one of those guys that waves his junk around for people on webcam, darryl, didn't you read my story?
-
You're not allowed to talk about me anymore.
-
I'm so up for skype roleplaying. So up.
-
I'm concerned that the way you told the story made it sound like I'm one of those guys that waves his junk around for people on webcam
I am one.
Let's Skype, people.
-
I got that skype thing too. Name is dliessmgg.
-
So im new to this skype thing and had some questions. If anyone knows a lot about it or similiar products please chime in. here is my details. I want to be able to video conference both my parents and my lil brother at the same time. Does Skype allow this? if not anyone have a good suggestion of a program that does? It would really help me out for when i deploy. Thanks in advance
-
I believe video conference is 1on1 only with skype, but I'm sure there is a program that allows it, I just don't know of one.
