There has also been much discussion of a place to "chat" in real time. Our current V Bulletin forum does not allow that. I'm checking on the status of our Joomla based Library to act in that fashion. And just got word that will probably not work out. It's too much load on the server.

When I googled "free chat" there are lots of places where real time chat could be set up by someone with the energy to do it. The whole subscription thing has wore me down - so count me out as the doer for setting up a chat room.

Sounds like though - there are several threads here on the forum that can be a friendly place for newcomers, and that friendship invitation feature is awesome, warm and fuzzy.

I'm using the "Minty Skin" (ah so much easier on my eyes) instead of white on dark blue "Avalon Electric" (button is on the bottom left) and so in minty, when I click on the "Home" button I can see a list of who's currently online. In Electric, it's above the buttons, Project Avalon Forum.

I have just been advised you can get Skype for free and up to 24 people can chat there. I can find the link to that later. Will post this now.
