I was wondering if a relationship can begin and thrive based on Skype interactions. If you have a Skype story (good, bad or ugly), I would like to hear about it. I would also appreciate any advice on the Do's and Don'ts of Skype use. Thanks!

It's unanswerable, as until you actually know the person how can you form a true opinion about their personality?? Skype is no different to any other form of communication, you can meet someone in a post office, supermarket or bar, and still not really know if they are being real or just putting on a front to impress. Time is what counts not the media you are using
I Skype. Most sites and law enforcement advise it. I don't care if they record me. There is nothing I do wrong to record. This is the only sight I have been on where people frown on it.

I agree, it is a Godsend if you have to make international calls, it uses the same networks as ordinary phones, they just but up spare time, and remember Skype to Skype is free.

I did it too to make sure he is using fake pictures or not. I've never had problem about being recorded. One ridiculous rule on this site which states not to exchange Skype only increases numbers of fakers. I broke the rules !!! I used mobile videocall.
LDR needs verbal communication & face to face too even only through screen. Not only writing/reading. Listening to his voice is important to me. If he doesn't have money, then he shouldn't try LDR.

Skype??? Wat is Skype ??
No.
To order to understand the personality of the person, you have to live with him/her.

unlaoised: Didn't you say you were a web developer?
Before you start off a rumour, I think this is an accurate depiction of events:
A scammer created a thread on the forums with side-ways photos and a claim to be a web-designer on his profile.
Alexandro took a little while to work out how to rotate his profile pic and I think there may have been a joke, or two about that on a different thread.
I think it's okay to put the pitchforks down and let the newcomer approach.

Before you start an interrogation, it was simply a question. Did he not say he was a web developer?

I cannot see what is wrong with using Skype..
I keep in contact with CS members with it... especially those who are no longer here..
and the very best thing about Skype is... it is a free service, and using my lappy, I can show my friends what I have been up to.. usually the garden etc.. but I get to see them in their environment..

No, it was the profile with the sideways pic of an Asian fella from Pennsylvania who claimed to be a web designer, not the Hispanic/Latino fella from Iran/Italy/France who took a moment to rotate his photo.
They are both brown and both had a sideways pic. There the connection ends.
Btw, the scammer appears to have gone. Perhaps check out post#10 and your response post#11:
