COOOOOOLLLLL: If you like visit us at
irc.stardock.com
port 6667
#WinCusomize
#Stardock
You can create a channel for your own if you like. Can be handy when working with several people on the same project and when the main channels are too crowded.
You can access the server with the WinCustomize browser, SDCentral or any other IRC client.

COOOOOOLLLLL had a simple question. Trolling and Shmoopy have nothing to do with that question. I don't think I like anyone's responses in this thread here. Except mine of course.

Nevertheless, the idea isn't so bad at all. It would be cool indeed, although it would require programming time we don't have at the moment. Still a lot on the "to do" list. 
In the meantime, COOOOLLL, if you use Trillian, you can set up an IRC channel in it, and use the channel just like a messenger software.

i thank all O' U But my idea is somewhat different....i mean there should be a "common" program which can work as messenger...alerter...schdualer etc....using IRC is a good idea but it can't be a "central location" for skinners and ppl who r related 2 WC (atleast i think).......how many ppl using stardick/WC products like 2 go 2 IRC???? from this point i thought there must be a soft or atleast a new plugin for skinbrowser which can be used as messenger and alerter...
hope u ppl have understood wat i wanted 2 say
n according my personal servay, about 70% ppl, having Win XP, or other Win OS, r using SD/WC products but only 2% of them use IRC....Rest of PPL want 2 have connection with other fallows but they think it 2 b very difficult.....
if u ppl allow me 2 develop dat soft....i will b an honour 4 me
Regards

Initially your idea sounded on point, COOOOOOLLLLL. I imagined it being a plugin to Stardock Central as a separate "Launch IM" option. It could work similar to IRC in that you would see a list of users who are logged into SC and privately IM one of them or start a chatroom and invite people to it...
However, after further consideration, I believe that WC has skinners covered between IRC and the messageboard (incl the suggestion for the "new" board). If a skinner would like feedback on a particular idea of his/hers, then chatting privately on IRC, providing his/her AIM, Y!, MSN or ICQ SN, or even posting to the messageboard or channel would be an option.
For those who do not wish to use IRC, again the messageboard is a venue (available to everyone with a web browser) to initiate a thread wherein feedback can be requested.
Moreover, if one would wish to start an AIM chatroom or the like he/she could do so. I think paxx has got it when he says that programming would have to be done and I would imagine there really isn't development time available for such a venture.

with reference to IRC, i tried it, got confused, got lost, left, and havent been back since.
also, with "instant message" methods, unless all the people are awake and at their computers at the same time you have problems. for people in different time zones message boards and email seem to work far better.
