Stop saying things.
I honestly don't get why it has to be an "us or them"- the forum works for some people and not as well for others, so they use Skype instead.
It's a matter of personal preference. It doesn't have to be viewed as a fucking anarchist movement.
I'm not saying they're not a part of the community. I'm saying they're a part of the community deliberately isolating themselves. Skype is not the universal solution to our communication problems. I agree the forums aren't a universal solution either (and maybe it would be if we gave this forum the proper functionality, or stripping down all the pretty sparkles so it can be shoved through a cell-tower properly and slammed into a 1.5 GB RAM device) but it's the best we have on hand.

A lot of people have issues loading the forums, or can't use the forums all the time, or just want to have a quick chat - most of the people who stick to Skype for the most part mostly stuck to skype well before we even thought about getting our own forums. It isn't "fragmenting". The only reason I haven't brought the srs rp over here is because it has brought traffic from the CF forums to here - it's not like no one has joined the forums because of the RP on the CF forums, people have done exactly that, and that is the only reason I am so adamant about keeping it there.
Please, list off the number of completely new people who came here from the RP (if they're not new, they were just searching for the remnants of the Nexus anyways). No-one goes to an RP looking for a forum. They'll just see it, go "okay, cool", and go off on their business. We'd get more people through Google search results (or we would if we had a better system for new accounts) than a obscure, detail-ridden RP half-hidden in another forum.
