I thought I'd get this up to see how many people are interested.
Apart from the always-ready IRC, some of us 'Charmsians have done a couple of Skype calls and they were usually a lot of fun. There was always a bit of complaining that there was no possibility of doing a group video call, since that's part of Skype's paid attributes.
Recently, though, I've discovered a website that allows us to do just this, easily and completely free; TinyChat. It's used mostly by Tumblrgoers for fun group conversations, but it provides us with an excellent opportunity for having video calls with as many people as we want.
Logging in is done trough FaceBook, Tumblr, anonymously, maybe even Twitter if I recall correctly. That, or you can make an account on the site itself.
Now the reason I'm asking is because there hasn't been a group Skype call in ages, probably because we all lead our own busy lives, but I'm wondering how many would like to take part.
Now setting up a video call is incredibly easy and can be done at any given time, although it might prove practical to set up a designated room; Possibly it could be incorporated into the topic title on IRC, so everyone would know how to find it. As an example;
http://tinychat.com/notsodarksoul#
Now this is via my account, but we can set up one with a random URL.
So, yeah, suggestions? Opinions? Ideas?
