O.P. [Idea] Add Google Talk to Contact details
It may be that Google Talk isn't as popular as other IM clients, but its still out there. I was wondering if Google Talk could be added under the contact details on user profiles. You already have the option to add your ICQ Number, AIM Screen Name, Yahoo ID and MSN Address; and despite the newness of Google talk, its a contact option that I'm sure many forum members would use and like to see.

RE: [Idea] Add Google Talk to Contact details
most people will just write, "PM me for it" so why bother

RE: [Idea] Add Google Talk to Contact details
How about people just PM people for it. That last thing we need is bots scouring the forums for gmail addresses to spam.
Just put it in your profile or sig if you want to give it out. Beyond that, This is a "Messenger" community, not Google Talk.

ICQ, AIM and Yahoo is listed, and a lot of active forum members have Google Talk.

They may be default but no that's not true, they can be removed in the templates, yet they are kept there and used by members. |

Offtopic a bit, but...
Spam bots is always an issue with such things, but why don't developers of forum software and such put one of those things that changes the @ to [at] (or w/e), and . to [dot] (or w/e)? From my amateur understanding of PHP, it isn't hard to do...
