When Grif told you about the Skype chat he was making 3 years ago, he outright stated that it would be a chat involving staff members so that staff could communicate more efficiently. You turned down the offer. He did not "outright state" that at all, though. Saying you want people with rollback privileges in a chat with admins doesn't say "staff chat" and the word staff was never used. My own impression from then was that he was talking about making it easier to deal with the kind of disruptive editing people with rollback privileges deal with and since I didn't use those privileges I didn't see any point. Also, to say I turned down the offer is a bit misleading as the fact is I didn't have a Skype account at the time and it was not in any way suggested that joining the chat was of vital importance.

Grif: "Just wondering if any of the rollback had skypes so I could make a group with them and admins to make discussion more straightforward rather than having to play the telephone game with things :P"

Admittedly, he was not as clear as he should have been, but the implication was there, with him saying that the group would be rollbacks and admins. You say that you got the impression that it would be about making it easier to deal with disruptive editing that rollbacks deal with (and that is one of the things we do use it for). That sounds like the kind of group chat that only people with special privileges on this wiki would be in, don't you think?

DAWP: "Yeah, I saw that after I asked. Truth is, I do not think I have used the rollback function once since getting it, so it would not make a huge difference whether I was included or not in a Skype group."

This is what I mean when I say that you turned it down. You said that you didn't think it'd make a huge difference if you were included in the group, which implied that you did not have enough interest in the group chat to even make a Skype account and download Skype.
