So...you were new once and posted for some help. It's your turn to return the favor and tell me what you've learned are good "areas" to chat and have some dialogue. I hate being "that guy" who posts in a million different spots he's really not welcome too until he's been around for a bit. So I'm not creating new threats despite my enthusiasm. Albeit I'm not new to prepping, just ready to do some talking about it.
Simple, really. Stop by the shoutbox on the front page, and have a chat with whoever is about. Nearly always someone here, unless it is very late at night.
the shoutbox usually gets filled with a lot of chit chat but not too much of meaningful content. I recommend you start a "conversation" and invite some specific members to participate. Other can then be asked to join in. Its a pretty effective way of carrying on a conversation with one or many
