Not really. It's more like Skype, FETO and FEP are like 3 completely separate things.

FETO has, well, FETO. A rough, say, 75% of the people there are new people and the rest are actual vets. If people want to play it it's not because they have a burning desire of posting in a forum, trust me.
On FEP, said vets post, and... other vets who don't play FETO also post here. Which areas, I won't even go into, I would say everyone looks everywhere (yes Swift, including your sprite thread, even if nobody says anything in it because I know virtually nothing of spriting and can barely input anything useful) so I'm not distinguishing further.
The Skype group is also mostly for vets (with barely anyone new in there tbh) but the userbase somewhat differs from that of the forums and I could swear they talk more about Dark Souls than Fire Emblem which isn't the case here.

I doubt however that there is a way of unifying all three userbases. The only thing we can do to keep activity and life here is to get more people and the only thing we really have going for us is FETO because from what little I heard forums are dying and the only reasonably active FE forum is Serenes'. And I mean, name one, single forum that FETO doesn't make us stand apart from. Even if we just get activity for FETO, if we build a large enough userbase thanks to outside interest in FETO, then forum posts will come naturally. But we'll have to keep activity there too and while having more members to begin with (so we can have actual lives) would be a great start, the addition of campaigns, possibly a more newbie-friendly newbie guide (read: with less diversions like the one Mint wrote) and other stuff would help in my opinion.

tl;dr we should get on the ball smh.
