Spine Skype Hangout

Hay Guys,
I Was wondering if anyone aside me would be interested in a Skype Group, where we can chat, ask for feedback, and help live, or just have smalltalk.
illustrators, Animators, Programmers all alike - no discrimination here ;D

Personally, I'm in a couple similiar groups for other topics aside spine, and find it invaluable, to be able to ask people for help or C&C without the need of waiting a couple days in a forum.
(i mean yeah, probably im a bit inpacient- but as we all know: time's money!

If someone is interested, just either drop me a pm and ill add you to the group, or use the link below
Hope to see you there- soon =D

whats the advantage of this over the forum?

Therazin

The advantage would be to be able to get instant answers from people within the group.

Now, The Forum is great, and I wouldnt wanna miss it for anything in the world! The Skype Hangout is also not meant to replace the Forum in any way.
But sometimes, you just need some instant feedback, or have smaller but urgent questions.

most often from my experience, those can be answered in a couple lines, but time is off the essence, and it can take up to a couple days or weeks till someone finds the mercy to reply to a forum post

Ok, I logged into this group. It's pretty good and recommend other peoples to join.

Only down side is it is Skype. And you don't have any links to who is giving you the information. A chatroom would be a nice feature to the official website

Maybe a Spine Slack would be a good way of coordinating stuff? It's what I use for Unity and Atom discussions.

Hay Clandestine - ill check out Slack - so far I have no clue what that is
If people would prefer another software than Skype im open for anything.

I would just like to get a casual group together, where you can chat casually, or ask question on a short notice bases.
So far, were only 5 people, wich I find a little sad, but I already enjoyed some casual chats with for example Binary Cats.
(always a nice experience to get to know the people of this board a little better)
As well as getting some help off him, wich would have otherwise probably have taken me quite a while to get as good an answer through the forum.

on another account- as of yet this post has roughly 200 views, yet only 2 posts aside from me, and only 5 Members in the Skype Group.
Is there rly this little interest in something like this?
If people are afraid of constant messages anoying the shit out of them- you can mute individual conversation, if requested i can make a tutorial on that (its rly easy and takes probably ₅ clicks total.
Or, if another means of communication is prefered - pls guys, im open, make some suggestions.

There's an IRC channel here:

IRC Server: irc.freenode.net
Channel: #esotericsoft

You can join the chat room directly from your web browser (though the experience is a bit better with a real IRC client):
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=esotericsoft

I don't tend to hang out in chat too often though, because I find it kills my productivity since I end up checking it all the time.

The forum has the advantage that it is archived and searchable, though IRC can be setup to be logged, eg:
http://echelog.com/logs/browse/lwjgl

Hay, thanks Nate, I didnt know about this.
from what I can tell, it doesnt look to crowded though =D
But ill check it out more thoroughly.

From what I know, skype also stores a conversation log 😉
OFC, I realize the advantages of an forum over a chatroom-
and as stated before I never intedended this little "project" to replace the forum in any way =D

BinaryCats

eh, never knew about the irc. ill prob use it though usually, from my experiences from irc. They are a baron wasteland
