Yeah, if this works, we'll see how it goes

[thushan]

We'll discuss exactly how to do this tonight at 7:30 pm on the Tutorial 1 Thread that I will post.

Where's the tutorial? Am I missing out on something?

Why not IRC?

Trolls, at least mods can keep control of things here. Just my opinion though.

Yeah, I know it can, it's just way too accessible to literally anyone, that was my issue. Unlimitted trolls (potentially).


Either way, the Skype session was a success, so Skype it is.

How about Spesh and Bio tutorials as well?

I don't think spesh  tutorials will work over skype.

How about assigning each day to a different subject. It'll provide a great way to end the day ^^

I think it would be best to use teamviewer over skype..

That point's already been considered in the Tutorial 1 thread:

OK here's my verdict:

Forum threads:

Quite a popular choice in the polls. Great idea, my original idea.  However, we have a problem - it's not instant, so we'll have all sorts of people talking at the same time and posting out of sync. Not my favourite idea to be honest.

Skype:

Most popular choice. Very good idea. Problems include privacy and issues with moderation. Privacy can be alleviated with new Skype accounts, and I'll deal with moderation. But if anyone decides to troll and make trouble on Skype, that'd be awful, and I'd have to take action there. But I know you guys won't make trouble! As for non-availability, downloading Skype is free. And as for talking vs typing, i'm thinking typing is better because not everyone has a mic and bandwidth doesn't die. Anyways, I'm thinking this is the best option, so we'll go Skype.

IRC:

Issues are graphics, hard to read text, cannot send files over. Not a very popular choice from what I see.

TeamViewer and that:

Seems good, but people seem to like Skype better.

So Skype it is.

Guys if you could make Skype accounts for AN and make your account name a variant of "ANthushan" or "ANlaseredd" or sth and PM me when you've done it. You can use your real Skype if you want. Add "ANthushan" to your AN Skype address.

We'll gather on a thread on AN called Tutorial 2, then we'll open a Skype convo once we have the ppl rounded up.
See you guys @ Saturday 7:30 pm.

If there are any issues with me making it, I'll let you know early.

Flaws of this method have already been suggested, unless you can think of a critical reason which would make Teamviewer the better choice.

How about assigning each day to a different subject. It'll provide a great way to end the day ^^

That would work, but there are more VCE subjects than days of the week, and it will be impossible to find ex-students to take niche subjects, would work, but only for the very common subjects at the moment.

Haha, it's ironic that you suggest this

You can, but it would be annoying having to ban randoms again and again.

ANYWAY, Skype is the preferred method, so why discuss this now?

[paulsterio]

Stop suggesting IRC guys, it's not an improvement over Skype and so far, there seems to be no trolls.

If you are going to suggest something, it should offer a marked improvement
