- on the "everything is shit" side.
Then pretty much everyone on the other side at this point, I'd think.
And forum is a forum, there is no issue. Skype is for other contact and communication, which may or may not even be slightly relevant with anything Nexus forum, at all.
I've been the only opposition before, I've also been completely right as the only opposition to something before.

Cherry picking. Like, cherry picking in the extreme. When you only use Skype obviously you won't hear about the more mundane discussions and KC's shitposting sprees, but somebody will pop up "guys the forum is talking about us again" without fail.
I'm not cherry picking though. I read the pages every once in a while, and I catch up. I know that this thread isn't 100% undiluted vitriol drama 24/7. It doesn't change the fact that the only times it comes up over there is when there is drama. But since people decided to take it up to arms and scream and push an 'issue', it's the only thing I'm seeing about it, here, and the only thing I'm hearing about it, there.
And every time something like that happens, it always gets people pissed and moody and just in general ruins moods for the day, which frankly I'm getting sick of. So when it always comes from here, what do you think the natural response would be? Entrench myself into the very place that allows all this shit to start, or stay away from it whenever I can, to stay where it's much less likely for people to just 'give in' to being angry and, frankly, shit all over the place with words? I don't know about you but I'm not masochistic.
And here's something for otter. Yes, otter, hey otter, this is to you, this is directed at you, hey otter OTTER, this goes straight to you and I request a response, because OTTER as you say, nobody sits down to talk things through their problems, hey OTTER, hey look this is me sitting down to talk things through, OTTER, hey OTTER. SILVEROTTER, hey silver otter, hey otter.
That thing you're doing, where you basically tell yourself 'fuck it' and start typing all angry and capslock, and in general cease communicating as a human being and instead start screaming like a misguided protester arguing against animal cruelty with picket fences, in front of a vegetable market.
Between skype and the forums, I didn't choose skype because of 'technological features' and whatnot. Not because of the strengths and weaknesses of either platform. Frankly I wouldn't give two shits about that, in either direction. I don't care about what program can do what, your accusation is unfounded when it comes to me, so stop generalizing. The reason I spend most of my time there, instead of here, is, frankly, because over there, losing your cool and shouting your argument while ignoring the inconvenient messages, is frowned upon. There, acting manipulative and in general socially disruptive, is frowned upon. In general, acting shitty gets you consequences. Here? If someone starts shitting all over the place everybody just looks away and hopes 'it goes away'. Here? If people start a heated and frankly pointless argument, some either simply stop posting until it's over, and some get in on the yelling too. Here? here you can get away with acting however you want, and people will let you right back in afterwards, instead of making it clear that "it's not okay to act like that".
And you know this is true.
The fact that otter just acted like a raving lunatic spewing screams and capslock all over the place, after ehks had threatened with temp-bans, but nothing happened in the end? Things like that is why I spend most of my time over there than over here. Because otter got away with shitting all of that all of a sudden, but nothing to show that "it's not okay". And I don't expect anything to happen, either. And it actually IS not okay. If I was speaking with someone, and then people started suddenly raking up an argument like that, that's frankly shitty. It kills the mood, it ruins the atmosphere, and honestly is disruptive as fuck. But no, nothing happens, if people lose their cool, no biggie, let's just hope we can stay quiet and wait it out next time even harder.
You say people simply hate the community so they left. I don't hate the community. I hate the fact that "maybe we don't need moderation" is uttered, when at times it actually sorely is. There's probably other reasons as to why I spend most of the time there, instead of here, but that is a big one, and, in general, it's not the kind of setting I find enjoyable to talk and share things in.
So in the end, this is probably just another memento by a member of the 'skype squad', that had posted almost nothing here until people started getting the conversation muddled up because some here couldn't keep their cool, and thought it was acceptable to just spew vitriol all over the place. And this is probably going to repeat next time such an argument happens. And again, and again. Until I either get banned, or the clock-work accurate repetitions of drama and general behavioral shittiness stops. I don't expect the second one happening, ever, so I guess it's up to the first one, then.
EDIT:
Well apparently ehks dropped some correction, which I frankly didn't expect. Now I look silly beacause my entire post has been completely invalidated o ^o
