One great way would be to download an IRC program and then wiki some stuff on connecting to an IRC server on room. A good general purpose server is irc.freenode.net, then connect to a room that interests you such as #cooking, etc Another alternative is to become a member of a forum. You can find forums for just about anything, just Google “cooking forum” or the like Have fun being part of a community, but never forget about reality, and real people. It’ll happen sooner or later and hopefully you’re realize what’s happening and help stop it, otherwise it’ll eat your life…like it did too me a few years back.
