A lot of people here already know about this AIM chat room, but I'm going to go ahead and make an announcement for the rest.
A large number of us tend to get together on a regular basis on AIM in a chat room that usually gets named 'dzchat'. It doesn't get opened every night, and some nights when it does get opened, it stays pretty quiet, but other nights a lot of fun chatter goes on. Those who haven't joined us yet, either with approved characters or some of our characterless members, are welcome to join in (for those thinking about applying for characters, or applying for more characters, it's also an additional place where you can ask questions and ping ideas off the admin). If anyone needs to be added to the usual invite list, go ahead and post your AIM handle (or, if you'd rather, PM myself, Emirate Xaaron, or Hook).
A couple of warnings and disclaimers:
1) DZchat is not official or moderated. It's just a bunch of people from the same bboard RPG goofing around and, ideally, having a good time. We usually chat about Transformers, but damn near everything can be a topic.
2) Unlike Deadzone itself (which we try to keep PG-13, for the most part), DZchat has no rating. Conversation can go into some pretty weird territory at times.
3) Related to the above, sooner or later, the subject of slash will come up. Romantic pairings, be they m/m, m/f, or f/f1, are by no means the only things that get discussed, but it does come up pretty regularly.
4) A Transformers movie just came out. DZchat is a chatroom containing mostly Transformers fans. So expect spoilers.
In the case of conversations that contain spoilers, we try to give people a heads up before we move into that territory, so those who want to bail, can, but there's not always any real way to predict what topic will come up. Also, there's nothing wrong with sticking around for the conversations that interest you, and bailing from the others. Most of us do that. On a good night, DZchat will be gaining and losing and sometimes regaining chatters all evening.
We also have a number of non-board member semi-regulars, either people we're hoping to recruit, or just friends of other members, so not everyone you run into in DZchat will have an account name here to match up with. Pretty much everyone you run into in DZchat thinks giant alien robots are cool, though.
1 Romance that's at the PG-13-ish level isn't forbidden on the board itself, although it isn't a big focus. But it gets talked about in DZchat a lot more than you tend to see it here in the game (I think currently, you need to squint just right to see it in game at all).
