Anyone else not use Skype?

I have it and have one customer that thinks I should be sitting here all day answering his requests. I'm kicking myself for even agreeing to chat on skype. I started ignoring him. And, the more he asks questions, the more I put him off and answer hours later. It's a distraction and a waste of time. Use email ffs and I'll probably answer you faster.

People think you should drop everything and answer them when you're in skype.

if you are in a business where time is your greatest asset(mostly all businesses), emails and forums are light years away. I agree with you that Skype is becoming too much, but until we find an alternative service Skype is unfortunately the best.
I suggested slack here but someone said it was closed.
Let's admit there is so much redundant shit on BHW that needs to be removed to maintain quality. It would be great to create a slack/IRC room for people who want to ask quick questions, and leave BHW for quality posts that we don't waste time trying to find it. I am sorry that you hate Skype, but if there are so many people doing it, it indicates it is a lot more convenient than other things..
