What's your primary form of online communication?

Just curious what all your guys use for most of your online communication.

Obviously we all use message boards at least some.

I probably do more than most people. I hang out at about 3 or 4 other boards regularly (but not as much as SX).

But email has to be up there too.

I do IRC on occassion, but don't get around to it too often.

I haven't done IM in years. I used to use ICQ back in '97/'98 but don't like it much anymore.

How bout you?

I guess forums are my primary communication outlet. This one is first and foremost, and I go to a number of others regularly.

After that I guess IM and IRC for casual conversation with a few friends, and finally email. Usually email is for uninteresting stuff like eBay transactions and mailing lists.

Anyone regularly use Voice over IP?

I use AIM but i find that most who use it shouldnt be allowed within 200 yards of a computer.

I use some message boards, MSN(6.1 release is really buggy for the webcam management) and sometimes (but really rarely) mIRC.

mostly AIM and then here at SX.

Why wont AOL add webcam support to AIM? that'd be sooooo cool. All the other messaging thingsdo it (like MSN, Yahoo)....damn AOL.

Seems like I'm in the same boat as most of us here - message boards, IM, e-mail, and a bit of IRC. I also do the occasional chatting through Soulseek so I guess that counts as well. I rarely use IM however, since I find it distracting to allow myself to be IMed all the time.

You damn right! :cheers :thumbs-up:

I mainly use Forums (SX, GameFAQs) IMs, and then E-Mail as my main forms.

I frequent a few message boards and use aim mostly. Steams built in IM is cool though I rarely use it. Every now and then I fire up irc but that's really rare.

Segaxtreme and Gamefaqs only. I hate IMing because I know too many people who use AIM. Because of my hateful nature I can't spend more than forty-five minutes with a single person or they will start to piss me off.

what turned me off is when random people would starting IMing me when I was working on something.

Even if it's people I know.

I just like the convenience of talking when I feel like it that email and msg boards bring

I prefer to use telepathy: the teleportation of thoughts from my mind to yours. :lol:

I'm going to try and get better at bending spoons with my mind before doing that.

I used to use a lot of sarcasm, but I kept having to explain it to people.

You should try tagging your sarcasm like HTML:

Yeah, before we were married, my wife lived in CA and I was in MI when we weren't at school in FL. During summer and Christmas break, we used AIM every night instead of paying for a lot of long distance.

Unfortunately, when aguements brew unintended, emotions/attitudes can be read into text messages. When things got heated, I would have to make a phone call and straighten things out.
