I'm generally in touch with some people through private messages, or in Skype. And I also like to leave messages in people's walls as well.:P
As for VGC, VGC rocks! It allows me to expand my English and also have a place to have some nice discussions about my favourite hobby, as well as other subjects such as cinema, politics, society, books...
Should have made a bigger message, tbh. But being concise at times is better.
