For one thing, I would like to see something changed according with our Skype chat.

Our wiki chat is our only to contact with new users in real time at any given moment, and it still is today. It's our biggest thing on this wiki, and we don't even use it often.

I have monitoring the chat room since the skype chat reign began. From early 2014, our chat room had an average of 6-8 people in it from any given point (this includes away people as well). The start of the Skype chat, the chat room dropped to an average of 3-5 people in it. As of now, we have 0-2 people in it at a given point. Remember, the whole point of our chat is to welcome new people and get accustomed into our wiki.

The Skype chat, as it stands, has about 18-20 people in it always. The chat group has a chat log that goes back as far as you would like to go, which is sometimes a good thing. There is the group call feature that we can use to call the group (if nearly half of them weren't always offline.) And that's all great and all, but...we don't need all that. I mean, we have to invite people who want to talk to us like it's some sort of club. We used it as a some sort of back up chat and used the wiki chat as a daily driver. Now it's just flipped.

I propose 3 solutions:

1. Use the Skype chat as a backup chat: We don't need to call every 10 minutes, nor do we need to invite people to use it. And I will admit it, the Wiki chat is sometimes unusable, but we have to talk with new users more frequently, right?

2. Use the Skype chat as an Administrator and Chat Mod Communication: This option is for quick access to other admins and chat mods. We can talk about things that need to be deleted,  and stuff like that.

3. Just use Skype as our daily driver: I really don't want this option, but if everyone wants it, it's fine by me. We would need rules just like our chat rules, and maybe some more.

It's all up to you guys for deciding.
