On that note, profile messages don't give aurum either, but many of us still use them for non-private one-on-one conversations. I've probably had more profile messages than actual forum posts in the last few months. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

I think a chat room would be really great. I've noticed for a long time that people tend to meet friends on Trisphee, post on here for a little while, and then move to Skype and slowly become less and less active until they leave entirely. It's been happening for YEARS with all too many people that I loved chatting with here. I know we can't kill Skype's appeal entirely, but anything we can do to minimize peoples' desires to chat on Skype can only help the site.
