Apart from the chat room and forum, how many people use other forms of online communication, and what forms to you use?
I use skype, MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger, and ICQ as and when it's needed.
edit: I didn't put this in the computer forum as it is more about communication than computers

I have AIM and Yahoo IM. I use them pretty seldom, as I'm not a big idle chatter.
I do email a lot though. I have four email addresses (each has it's own specific purpose), but I primarily use Yahoo, simply because it was the first one I had so many years ago.

Just have MSN Messenger. Which lately I haven't be using at all.
I've got three e-mail addresses (one which I've forgot and don't use anymore anyway.) also.

just e-mail (gmail for personal, lycos also for personal but shifting towards gmail, yahoo for newsletters) & forum (CC & Larian).
used to ICQ, YM, MSN msg, but with lack of time & bandwidth, i settle with the above-mentioned.

I have a couple of e-mail accounts. Other than that, I only use the forums and the Chaos chat.

I use Skype and Gaim. I use Skype for multi playing. I seldom have time for online chat, but if I do I use Gaim. I also have several email accounts which I use for different things. Shan

I type way to sloooooooow to use chat and plus chat programs usually contain some sort of spyware. That's exactly the reason why I like voice chat - started out with teamspeak - and have used yahoo also (I do have a skype account, though use that for a very specific purpose). It has increased both speed and efficiency in my cross-atlantic communications - at no additional cost.

Almost only forums - and PMs. Very often. But I also just go out and chat with people, if I meet interesting people of someone I know. "Face to face".

Okay, geekoids - get ready for the chilling tale of "the guy who embraced the internet age" ;D
I'll start by saying that I once was very very much addicted to the internet. I used chatrooms everyday and met a lot of chatpeople in real life - an estimated guess would be over 200 people - yes, really! There's been very bad moments but mostly good - I've gotten some very good Rl friends out of it - and that does make up for the bad moments. Chatrooms bore me now - I'm not looking to meet new people like that anymore but I do use the net to keep up with friends and aquaintances.
I've got msn and is pretty much on everytime I use my computer. It's a great way to communicate with friends.
I'm on several Danish online forums, some more seriously than others - and yes there are some dating sites among those, though I'm pretty much inactive on those.
I'm follow many many mb's too, be it sports, comics or whatever. but mostly to lurk. I almost exclusively interact on the Cascade.
I've just downloaded Skype since I've recently bought a headset but don't really use it much. I haven't gotten around to adding people since I'm busy with a school project.
