Skype field - Megan - 01-07-2016

On your edit profile there's fields for ICQ, AIM, MSN and Yahoo (does anyone use any of these still apart from ISIS?)

Why no skype field?

Is even MSN anymore? Afaik it was discontinued a couple of years ago.

Messenger Is now Skype.

So perhaps the MSN field can simply be changed to Skype.

There's a probably a pretty good reason for not publicly posting a doorway your private information, but I wonder what that reason could be.

What is the "doorway" you're talking about? How is a skype username any more or less of a "doorway" than any of the other instant message services fields exist for? A large portion of the forum member base uses Skype so it's not an entirely ridiculous suggestion.

I don't have an issue regarding the popularity and usefulness of the proposed suggestion. I'm simply raising a concern about potential privacy issues.

I get your point but at the end of the day it's still optional.
