You know, I dunno, I have this funny “MSN” thing on my computer and sometimes I use it to have private conversations, instantly, with the other players I choose to bumociate with. I hear there are other ones out there like Gtalk and AIM and YIM, too that work just as well, if not better. Why not just use one of those and leave Forumwarz’ bandwidth alone? At the very least, those programs are already written and available- you could start using them today!
