Screen sharing, Instant Messaging.. things like that. I understand why you made this topic though, I hate seeing people give no advice or any details and just jump straight to "add me on Skype bruh"

Plus, instant messaging is restricted to only gold members.

I hate when I message someone on a forum, about something or a service their are offering, and they ask me for my Skype, like no I want to deal on site, hence why I contacted you here.

Yeah this is annoying, when people try selling you something off here and they say message me on skype. Defiantly a scam just use the messaging service that the site staff put their time and effort in to...

PM, not IM. I rarely use IM myself.

I get it for screensharing, but if it's "add me on skype to talk", surely it should be done here...

I see it all the time in the modding section.

One person will ask for help and the first reply will say "Add me on Skype: ksndgkjdsng"
They put no effort into helping the OP. Usually the people who do that cant help. So then OP messages me. Anyways, back on topic, it gets annoyning. I only add people who really need help and I need to IM them.

This guy gets my point. It's so **** annoying

I don't understand the whole Skype thing however things like teamviewer I think are fine if someone is trying to help you with something.

i see this alot but it is another way to communicate so
