Skype, Steam, and Twitter seem like they'd probably get the most play.

Honestly Facebook still hogs up a ton of traffic and most of the other social media sites already feel pretty irrelevant. Facebook, Skype, Twitter and Steam because Google Chat is poo poo

I said come in! posted:

Maybe consider Tumblr? I'm not sure how many goons use Tumblr though, I just know I use it.

Also, don't be thrown off by all the dorks on SA who rage about tumblr-feminists. Tumblr is a lot bigger than that, and pretty awesome if you set it up right. It's like saying to never visit California because you hated the airport.

Gamer poo poo is the most likely. I think most users want to keep family and business separate from forums life. Anything else can be done quietly through PMs.

LINE is the best mobile chat app.

I've been using Tumblr coming up on 2 years now and honestly you don't run into the crazy poo poo that gets shown on here unless you are looking for it.

Seems like twitter, youtube, steam and possibly skype should cover it. Maybe snapchat? Idk.

Adding anything where profiles are primarily people's real life identity (like Facebook, Google Plus, or LinkedIn) is just going to lead to people bringing annoying crap in from those sites, and while it's hilarious when some furry diaper fetishist gets outed, it's less funny when it's the more prosaic internet stalker poo poo. There's been a long-standing policy here against posting personal information about users, because it always turns bad sooner or later.

That said, I would suggest Twitter, Skype, Steam, and a nebulous "Other" where users could add anything else. If a user really wants their Facebook link attached to their SA profile, they could add it in the Other secion, but I think it'll be less headaches for the moderation team if that kind of thing is discouraged.

Whatever you decide, have at least one "Other" field since you'll never please everybody, and that will leave a space for [X] individual pet interest, and there will be less complaining afterward.

AIM is still big with my group of friends at least... Skype, Twitter, Facebook.

other useful ones would be IRC and pet picture upload. They could go into rotation on the forums index.

Xbox and PS gamertags, along with steam, please. I know there is no way in hell I'm adding my personal facebook here, but I would probably add in facebook group(s) I would be willing to share here, so if that's compatible with whatever your changing, then please do.

Facebook and Twitter are musts. I don't know of anyone who still uses Google+ but I suppose it has some followers.

Steam is a good idea, as is an "Other" query.

Is the Bio query going away? It shouldn't; we can stick other networking info in there, like console ones.

Make everyone put what IRC channels they hang out in also, like gently caress it, privacy is dead

Completely serious post. I think we should implement features for steam, xbox live, psn, and whatever nintendo's got, but probably not Facebook or Twitter. Do we want to advertise the site on twitter? Probably not, and I certainly don't want to let my Facebook friends and family know what I look at on the forums.

On the other hand, goons rock at games, and meeting up with them to play games makes all of the other game media services better. If anything, they should be paying you to integrate with them.

Edit::also, how cool would it be in you could push a button and just find another goon who's online to play a game you both own? No long list of names in the first or second post. Great way to make forum friends and always play with someone you care more about than any pubbie.
