I don't think their is a secret to getting connected, just start posting. If chat threads are your thing, there are lots of friendly people in Random Discussion.

@ OP.
I suggest you avoid the PPR and News forums.
They are the two "Take no prisoners" places on here.
I recommend you "find your feet" in other areas.

The Haven is the safest place to post.
Negative attitudes/commentary is verboten/forbidden there.

This is also a good post to read: viewtopic.php?t=191597#p8581100

I hope you don’t mind me asking: are you blind?

If so, you would, as far as I know, be the first openly blind person here—a pioneer!
