Hey there!
I am not sure how effective it would be or if its would even work with this forum. Especially since its seems mostly everyone uses Skype. But what about a chat box" or a "Cbox" or a "shout box" on the forum?
I know there are PMs if you want to reach someone and have a conservation or even a "this is my Skype name thing" But I find that Shout boxes are a useful tool that can help on a multitude of levels. An example: If someone is hosting a live RP or a spur of the moment RP and don't want to take up space on the forum they can quickly send out a shout or post in the "chat".
Or it's even useful for sharing quick links or even offering up question and answer commentary for folks. I know I have one on two of the forums I admin and they are also great for new members or guest to get a feel for the site as well as to sort of form or build a camaraderie for the already members.
As I said I know it might not be necessary or useful here, especially because most of you use skype or AIM...but sometimes its nice just to have a built in chat service for people who aren't comfortable sharing their information just yet but want to learn more about their peers.
Just a thought as don't know how well it would work here But figured I would offer up teh suggestion anyway!
