Here's the thing... Before, you organized tournaments for StarCraft II, and the audience there was generally more advanced in terms of audio and video content, so the participants readily accepted the conference requirements. Here (on Heroes of Might and Magic forums), the primary focus is on the game, and it's not surprising that not everyone is familiar with or knows everything about communication tools, including Skype. Now I realize that when introducing Skype, we simply need to explain to people what it is and why it's needed, and that its audio and video functions are optional and serve as an addition for those who want to use them.
Well, maybe we won't even reach 1,000 participants in three days, but in a week, that would already be very active, and it will create a certain atmosphere.
For those who are not entirely aware: [many people associate Skype with mandatory voice or video communication]. This Skype conference does not require that:
A chat conference in Skype is not necessarily a live conversation; it's just a regular chat where participants can exchange messages. :) [You don't need a microphone or camera to participate; no one will watch or listen to you. So, feel free to join the conferences by simply downloading the program.]
