There's more than just words to this sentence. I see occasionally people who will just ask random people to add them, and give out their username in the public chat. Apparently, they haven't read this blog yet :) Also note that these don't happen on a daily basis, it's what CAN happen.
Unless you message someone it, its gonna have to go into the public chat... where everyone can see it. I don't wanna sound paranoid but there's some pretty crazy people out there that will take that username, look it up on the internet and trace you down... Like what the government does :P And Santa (Say WHAAAT?)
So after you put your name in public and added this random dude off of Minecraft, its time to start the call and conversation! Since you ARE playing a videogame, you're probably focused on winning or whatever your doing instead of what you say. You never know, something could slip out and be the end of the line for you! Also, if you're a kid, talking with adults on Skype can be preeeeeeeeeeety awkward.
I hope you're wise enough to not tell any personal info. If not, well, NOT MY PROBLEM! I mean, its common sense to hang up if they start asking you tons of personal questions...right? RIGHT?
Anyways, this was just a forewarning for those out there doing that. If you haven't already done this, don't. People can track your location or maybe put a virus in your computer! Thanks for reading!!!
