Many of you are already there, but to those of you who aren't:

We will be replacing the current chat function with several Skype chat rooms you can link to on the chat tab.  If you don't already have a Skype account, you may want to.  The chat works beautifully, and there's a lot of features in addition to chat you can take advantage of- Video chat and conferencing,  online telephone service, etc.  We'll be concerned only with the chat as far as forum purposes go, but those other options are at your command to use as you will.

So get a head start, because a lot of railing and the like will be much easier with chat than the old forum way.

If you could, when and if you do get a Skype account, update your profiles so we can get your contact info.  There is a Skype option you can fill out in the Forum Profile Information section.

Skype worked real well during the training tourney. and probably a great way to network down the road as well and the rail bird times.

We have 9 people who are in the Sixandfourum Public Chat room, and there's a lot of chat going on there every day.  You guys who aren't in there yet are missing out on a lot!

There seems to be a rampant misconception that you need a webcam and/or microphone to use Skype.  This is NOT the case.  You can sign up and just chat as you would in any other chat room.  Skype has features for all that other fancy stuff, but it is not required, nor are we using it for forum purposes.  We are just using regular chat rooms hosted on the Skype software. 

So get in here, already.  There's a lot of stuff getting talked about and done in here, and you guys not here are missing it.

It certainly wouldn't hurt.  No one's required to use it of course, and I don't plan on doing anything official for MASS via the chat.  But in team events, it might be to players' advantage to have this set up.  I don't think it'd be to hard to set up a second skype account for those who already have one... just put in some different contact info and such.

I like you're Skype idea very much,, i use skype on a daily basis, (family and friends in states)  one thing i find tho, tends to be come unreliable when u have more than 3 poker sites open at the same time,,lol. (maybe im addicted, should see a therapist really, oh wait...i am one!! reasonable rates for anyone who's interested Cheesy)

i should pop in sometime and enjoy the chit chat, and can i say,, great game last night guys,, u showed true decorum in what became a bit of a mess Wink

( referring to chato and trucker ) was fun railing you both  Kiss

Personally i thought Aceslevin was a great addition " I guess no one wants to discuss poker, see ya later!" hahahahaha Numpties  (present company excluded of course)

Go to http://www.skype.com/ and click on the green "Get Skype" button at the bottom of the page. It will take you through the steps to install the software and create an account. Then click on the Chats sub menu at the top of this page and click on Public Chat. Then we'll be a chatting ... assuming there's someone in there ... and there usually is.
