Still, you're the one assuming it's superior in any way.
And if it doesn't then it's assumedly for good reason, wouldn't you think?
And perhaps looking at it from the direction of "it's not something these people would fair well in" instead of "we don't want them here", would add a more positive tinge to your idea of it?

It's superior for some people's situations. For others, the forums are better. If I was stuck with only, like, five minutes of computer time, I'd rather hop into skype, say hi quickly, talk a bit, then fuck off instead of doing so on the forums because time.
I prefer forums, honestly. mostly because embedded images. and links. and...yeah.

More importantly though nowhere does it say that only so many messages can be posted within 5 minutes on a forum

Forums don't go as fast as Skype or an IRC does, though. You have to sit at your computer and tap F5 for however long you have.
With an IRC, Skype, or similar thing, however, you're able to talk more in the same amount of time at the cost of not having what forums have.
There's upsides and downsides to both, sure, but one isn't superior to the other. It's a matter of what works best given life stuffs.

Both have their pros and cons.
Neither are perfect, or even good.

Pros and cons and everything. just because someone isn't listing the cons, doesn't mean they're saying it's superior always. Skype is better for quick conversation, forums are good for more drawn-out discussion, or leaving a message and coming back if you don't want active conversation.

I like IRCs for that reason. Simple UI, and its made to run on '98 systems and dial up.

If it takes 5 minutes for people to reply to your post maybe it's because everybody is using Skype instead of the forums.

Yes, but it's not instantaneous, even if you have everyone posting and some program that refreshes the page every millisecond.
