ICQ is old, and no one uses Yahoo or Jabber.
Most people use Xfire, have at least one Steam game, or have Skype.
Therefore I suggest this.

There may have been a topic like this in the past, but not for Steam or Skype, and it wasn't answered.

Steam probably won't accept osu!.

Xfire needs to be pushed further. I have no clue on the stories behind Xfire and osu!.

No idea about Skype.
I think Neo means add profile support. Like I can add an AIM account to my profile on osu! that people can see, but not an Xfire, Steam, or Skype.
And about Xfire "stories" I found osu! via Xfire when support for it was first added. I'm sure you're all happy that happened. Right now Xfire supports all game features except direct server joining on osu!. (So ingame chat, screenshots, video, broadcasting, and web browsing [actually I haven't tested web browsing yet, but I'm assuming it works] all work ingame)
That being said, +Support for this thread.

A lot of people still use Yahoo. AIM doesn't show up in one's profile (which I reported months ago...) I see no problem is putting more "contact" info in one's profile.

i did try playing osu with steam at once but it has buggy steam community. you can open steam community in game but when it comes to chat with a steam friend you cant type a single thing.

also heres what i thought should be implemented

xfire : xfire profile link
steam community link
skype : ?

I can understand skype...

Steam dont really think it's needed.

Xfire... what, you can always add your xfire pic thingy to your signature or your userpage

Another bump in support of Skype user-name becoming an applicable entry to general profile overviews.

The amount of users I've talked to who actually use and will only use Skype as their preferred instant messaging client has been quite phenomenal during my year of playing osu!
It was half the reason I actually decided to make a Skype account in the first place.

Steam and XFire support I don't really care about but to other users that would be a nice option to have over the ICQ and Yahoo areas currently available.

+support.

do support

There are endless things that could be used in our profile.

Why can't it just be custom?

What do you have?
- Something called Skype.
Okay, just write Skype in that box and your username in the other box.

Then it would just be abused with hearts and all that shit because we can't have nice things. Better to have it uniform.

Support, a lot of people are using Skype so it could be a good idea (also bump)

You could just as well remain anonymous by not blasting it with whatever gibberish.

Perhaps make these



drop down boxes with a few more options to them, but limiting you to one of each. Isn't hard to implement.

As for what sakuraderp said, are you aware of that steam is more then a third party game retailer? It has a massive and also active community to it. I don't think there are more then a tiny handful of people who I write with who don't use it.

Support for steam, skype, xfire, but perhaps also google+, xbl, psn, lastFM, youtube, twitter, dA e.t.c

Its really not that big of a hassle to implement as you either copy paste a link or add your username somewhere in the url, as for instance with last FM it being
http://www.lastfm.se/user/>username here<

SPOILER
or steam

http://steamcommunity.com/id/>ID here<

psn

http://us.playstation.com/publictrophy/index.htm?onlinename=>username<

xbl

http://www.xboxlc.com/profile/>username<

dA

http://username.deviantart.com/

twitter

http://twitter.com/#!/username
and so on
The ones who you don't type in will simply not be listed on your profile, just how it is as we speak.

Support. The space is more than enough there after all and its annoying to see the links in my signature.
