[BadVista Advocate] Help "Hotline"

[Jacob Maynard]

A forum would be okay, but that defeats the "real-time" strategem, you
know? But IRC would be okay, as long as it was well advertised, and it
didn't require any additional software. I know that when I was uber-noob,
I didn't ever use IRC because I thought you had to download another piece
of software. I think that other people would feel the same way. Especially
people who don't understand the idea of chatrooms, like your common user.

But if it came with the promise of speaking to a "real person," I think
people would be okay with downloading TeamSpeak. Just a thought.
