However, I can't type as fast on a smartphone as I can on a keyboard, so even if I did decide to partake in this feature my ability to communicate in a timely manner will be limited. And obviously the purpose behind this thing is to provide Admins a chat room where they can improve coordination and such, so yeah. As for the idea itself -- are there other alternatives we can consider just in case some of the Admins can't access Skype for any reason? Like Xat or something?

I had a long message typed out as to why Skype is the best choice (accessibility and convenience for most administrators, mainly), but the forums glitched out on me. Basically, the SNN Chat would actually be most ideal, but that has proven to be ineffective. Skype is logged, and tells you when people are actually on their computers (as opposed to someone on Xat or SNN chat having to be on the browser and on the website), which makes Skype the best option here. The logging of the chat also helps a bunch.
