@altair Making up voices for users? Haha! Usually when I'm thinking I seem to think with my own voice, so I end up reading most posts with my own voice
I'd definitely go to an IRC group if I could chat there with my favourite members, although I don't know about Skype. I don't have a Skype account. I'd be uncomfortable chatting over the net with a facecam, so I never signed up. I'd love a chatroom of some kind, though, because the members I usually see posting in the sections I visit seem like they would be fun to just chat with.
