If you're just looking for people to chat with and to possibly make some friends, I'll plug my own
hang-out thread as an option (or you can PM me instead if you personally prefer one-on-one chat instead of a group chat); you're more than welcome to use it since it's not invite-only and I'm willing to let anyone in so long as they don't cause any problems. Sometimes the discussions can get a bit more serious, but we usually just chat about whatever we feel like.
Welcome to the guild, by the way. I'd normally be posting a welcome to most people who put up an introduction on that part of the site, but things have been a bit more troublesome lately and I don't really do it currently unless I have a particular comment to make or someone isn't getting anyone replying to them.
