Yeah, thats the major issue with the GiP hangout thread in a get-help sense.
In regards to crisis situations, there's at least 1-3 people active in the hangouts chat at all times. In regards to GiP lurkers, well that's why there's been 2 different GiP get-help threads and why the whole vetting thing exists....people started sharing the personal contact info listed in the 1st GiP get-help thread to other SA subforums, and it was a real invasion of privacy for everyone involved in the 1st GiP get-help thread.

In regards to people who having been posting here forever, there's been so many name changes, reregs & bans for 80% of the GiP regular posters, that it's very hard to keep track of who's who.
Especially if you only regularly read 4 threads in gip like me(drunk thread, veteran thread, games thread, and this thread). If you don't regularly post in the threads I read I probably don't remember who you are.

Having multiple people on the contact list makes it easier for GiP regulars to be identified & invited to the Hangouts chat ASAP. GiP Lurkers need to go the extra step or just post about their issues so we know something is up.
