a call to messengers

[Nemi]

Why does not one use messengers anymore? They used to be so fun! Back when everyone was on messenger, plotting was quick and replies were quicker. RPers felt like they knew their fellows a little better. The CATS RPers were a community...

And I miss it! I think we could come up with amazing plots if we just talked as a group a little more. If we all talked on a really regular basis, we'd just have to be all "btw, [RPer}, my character has posted for your character" and if that other RPer has time... BAM! A new post awaiting a reply. This is how CATS RPGs used to be... people waiting anxiously to get an IM saying "posted". Ahhhhh, the good old days!

Would anyone else be willing to give using a messenger a try? I don't care which at all-- MSN, AIM, something I've never heard of...

I understand some people's parents don't want them downloading things, in which case there's meebo.com, which is amazing, web-based, and lets you connect to a bunch of different messengers.

I also understand some people have other reasons/restrictions, which makes me quite sad.

But yea, if anyone wants to give it a try...

My AIM name is logica absurda.

I push for AIM because:
1) it's easy
2) it can be used online (AIM online or Meebo)
3) it allows for big groups to be set up to where you're automatically a part of it when you're online (i.e. an all NJG group)
4) ...I already use it. XD

Think about it? :3

I wouldn't mind getting messenger again. Reason I quit using it was because no one got on anymore.

I do have skype though, and I am on everyday. There you can chat through messenger, or video chat. It is very convenient! I will definitely get AIM if you all want to do it, but if some of you have skype, it would be quick and easy to use that as well!

I'd definitely the be up for this! I have MSN (well, Windows Live Messenger, which lets me use my yahoo...I don't really understand it actually, but a friend suggested I get it sorry, I'm bunny trailing) that I stopped using, but I'd be up for starting up if we decide to do this. I'm fine with using AIM

I have MSN and skype and use these quite often. I would also be willing to get AIM as well. I think this is a good idea, it would certainly give NJG a more community/family feel. (Not that it doesn't already have it, but it would certainly strengthen it)

I have aim. My name on there is PepperjackKitty... feel free to add me

I also have MSN... all my contact info is on my profile page

So, it seems like most people are for AIM, MSN, or Skype? And it seems like everyone's willing to get whichever one we decide, right?

Well, then I think we just need to decide! I'd like to get this going asap! So, I've added a poll!
Just select the one you'd most prefer using, and know that in voting, you're willing to use which ever one the majority selects. Yes?

The biggest preference I have with AIM is that you can have a group chat CONSTANTLY running, that no matter what, every NJGer that's on AIM is in the group... which means everyone can always talk to everyone else, and CAN chat individually if they want.

But I'll go ahead and make names on all the other messengers just in cases! XD

EDIT: I did make a skype, and you can find me with the username mcnemmers.
