Should OLR keep the skypeline open during the whole show?

I'd like to hear from those saying no as to what you didn't like about it.

Also, what you guys thought of us spending more time on each story. I think a lot of you didn't even really notice a difference at all, but the format we used for episode 327 we're thinking of doing on a more permanent basis so feedback from you guys is really appreciated.

For those catching up via the podcast, I will try very hard to have it up tomorrow night.

I like the new call format... I just worry about people calling in just for the sake of calling while there's an in depth topic being discussed... Those types of calls are fine during the usual call slot but if its in the middle of a story it could turn things into a tangent... You can't really stop it from happening but that's really my only concern about it... Otherwise its fine and it worked out great last week...

ok I was one of the people who said no to it being open all night. I like to hear what you guys think on a bunch of different topics not what everyone thinks of only a few topics.

The reason I tune in is to hear what you guys have to say and your opinions on specific subjects if one of us has a comment we can always call up the skypeline at the end and call back to that story.

Maybe I just fear change so I don't know :P

I'll say yes to some extent.
Like SSJ100Matt said, some people would call just for the sake of calling and while OLR is a trainwreck by yourselves, that I don't mind since it's YOUR show and I like it like that, other people doing that would be terrible...
And again (and what Deekman said), it's YOUR show. I know that OLR is one of the few podcasts where gamers have a voice, but you're also our voice, so I think our opinions are not needed since we basically think the same on most topics.

Now, I do agree on calls only on the BIG and main stories of the show where everybody has their own opinion and want to say what they think and it would make the stories more interesting than they already are. We could also have debates from time to time.
I couldn't listen to last Sunday's show since my internet was failing... so I don't know if that's the way you made it <_<
(and certain someone hasn't uploaded the latest show >_>... j/k)

And do not take the Skype section of the show, since it's the time we can chat about other gaming related news or Con-Reports too.

No, MGS4 isn't coming to the 360. Never was, never will.

I say no to the skype calls the entire show, listeners get in enough feedback through the chatroom, and more skype calls just add more in jokes, even more tangents, more poor quality calls and make the show way too long.
