Yeah, go to search and enter "chat." You will see the chat room there. I don't know if anybody will be there right now, but you can try.

I believe I've also seen a forum in the list called "off topic"

There have been numerous new forums added lately covering a wide range of topics...go carefully down the list and you'll probably find someplace to sound off. Or as the others said...you can always go to the Off Topic forum or the Chat room...there's even a Chat Room forum where you can post a request for others to join you at a particular meeting time.
