- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

Skype died years ago. It was awful and rarely worked.
Only after Microsoft bought it tho
Yep, I was literally coming in to say that Skype was trashed the instant Microsoft bought it.
The merge with the Microsoft account was never done properly and it means I've got like 3 different accounts that don't fully work with Skype, Teams or whatever else you need Microsoft for.
Good thing I rarely need any of them
It was so good before then
... and that was the last Linux version of Skype.
I was trying to figure that out to. The original thing really got messed up. I swear you did not really need an account of any kind originally.
It was decent on computers but they never managed to make a good mobile app. And then Microsoft made it much worse on computers.
My god the unoptimized background pushing shit would just destroy my battery.
It was actually a really slick IM client for like a hot minute.
You may have confused it with Lync, the product derived from MSCommunicator and renamed Skype4biz.
Regular skype was awesome; less so after MS swapped P2P for C2S but meh. Still better than teams, which, ironically, is where skype4biz went.
