I'm not really a huge fan of promoting skype since it has multiple security issues most people don't know about (and Skype refuses to fix) and also was partially the source of a major load of unwanted fed-wide drama a few months back. I'm not a fan of the current movement online of Skype being forced down everybody's throats in place of other, more reliable and secure messengers. You guys can obviously trade skype info PRIVATELY if you want (I use it too, ONLY because so many people do) but I will never back the idea of promoting its usage on my site or within the group of XWF users. It's also a bad idea to list it publicly on any forum if you don't want to be spammed or risk having your personal info/IP/etc retrieved by those who know how to abuse it.
If you insist on using Skype I also recommend using it through a 3rd party provider that grants you access to its instant messaging resources, rather than the Skype program itself. Alternate (all in one) messengers such as Trillian offer this service and are a much better option for a number of reasons.
