evidently enough to pass their activity checks; i have irc open daily, and it's not like it takes conscious effort to have it open and be in it unless you're constantly using webchat or something. it's not as bad as it was a couple years ago (i remember this because i stopped using irc as well around the same timeframe).

you guys need to realize that skype can not be accurately measured because it would be unfair to judge one clan based on skype activity that we can't literally see for ourselves while not giving the same opportunity to other clans. skype is also not related to toribash in any way, this is the perfect example of an external form of activity, while irc is not.
