So, I was chatting with Raven via Skype and I wrote this /facepalm and instantly I got this message from Skype. Just like in the IRC.
/me [text]
/topic [text]
/add [skypename+]
/alertson [text]
/alertsoff
/leave
/goadmin
/get creator
/get role
/whois [skypename]
/setrole [skypename] MASTER|HELPER|USER|LISTENER
/kick [skypename]
/kickban [skypename]
/get uri
/get guidelines
/get xguidelines
/set guidelines [text]
/get options
/set options [[+|-]flag] ..
/setpassword [password] [password hint]
/clearpassword
/get password_hint
/get banlist
/get allowlist
/set banlist [[+|-]mask] ..
/set allowlist [[+|-]mask] ..
/golive [token]
/invite [skypename]
/help

I have no fucking clue what this is but after reading about it here . It basically creates a Skype Channel where you can invite people and do other things. I mean it's a great feature. Hell, you could even host a semi channel in this fashion but I think the user might have to keep the client open but still it's a great thing to experiment with.

    Yep, that's the skype group chat feature. I use it all the time.

    And you don't need to keep the client open, the group chat is created on skype's servers.

    I used to be in a group chat with a few people from college, it's a pretty good feature. You can also click a button to call everybody in the group chat and turn it into a big conference call :D
