The other option is of course skype, on which many of us already have a group and does have private chat as well as work on the mobile. It does also technically have pinging.
The issue with skype is I'm not sure how comfortable everyone is sharing that kind of personal information. I don't have an issue as I have most of you already but I can't hold it against anyone who does. I don't think there's anyone here I would be uncomfortable having on skype but that the opens up the can of worms of how we deal with new players...though a barrier to new players perhaps wouldn't be the worst thing in the world as it'd allow a form of screening beforehand...
We also wouldn't have to nag people to get in chat because most folks are on it all the time as it is.
It's worth noting (and warning) that both options also retain the log, which is nice when you get booted or accidentally exit out.

With Skype people could always set up a game only account that they can use. It probably is time to slowly find somewhere else as chat seems to inevitably gonna stop working.

A form of Screening? From the man who thought april was alright and super down to earth?

That's a good point Benny. That way folks that want their privacy can have it and those who don't give a fuck can continue not giving a fuck.
My erroneous first impression of april is also a reason some form of screening or probationary period would be helpful. Also I was an admin at the, it wasn't going to do me any good to talk shit on a new player.

After April...my vote is forever. All new players are on permanent probation. It ends when you die.
Realistically though, 30 days?

She seemed like a good player to start with.

She wrote well, which usually counts for a lot with me. That was my first impression.
But yeah I like the 30 day probationary period. Within that 30 days we reserve the right to take a communal vote and tell someone they're a "bad fit" and they fuck off. After that person has passed their 30 days we're stuck with them, can't vote them out, and they get a vote.
Also, I get 3 votes.

Or, how about Google Hangout? I haven't actually used it but it would be another option.

Taking it seriously because it's not a horrible idea. We've been burned one too many times.
