It ruined the forum completely,.. I would vote No

I think i know where your talking about and that was not what was going on.
I was party to both side and it was a power struggle.

The skype chat actually made people talk/communicate more and friendships were made.
One party moved on gracefully.

The ones that were moaning about the chat (the mods) stepped down but that was later on and not for the same reason.
Those members still remain on the forum.
If they seem quiet its because they are doing there own thing.

All in all a grand total of 2 members left that forum.

Fall out are bound to happen especially because we as preppers/survivalists/homesteader who are strong minded people. (Not sheepeople)

But if you never went on the chat how do you know what was actually went on?

You only got the info second hand.

If anything the chat encouraged people and when things of importance and ideas were born those ideas were put straight onto the forum as posts.

I look at it this way, "When like minded people put there heads together great ideas are formed"

Different forums cover different types of topics.

Im new on here and i find it refreshing that we can talk openly about things that are not allowed or shunned on other forums.
I must say its a refreshing change.
