I mean, even the forums can be a little intimidating to people on the fringes. I know there is a skype/tumblr list, but Skype requires people to be proactive (and when your shy like me, it's hard to work up the nerve to just ask someone to add you and such) and Tumblr is... uhm... Tumblr.
I tried to join the skype list and I don't think I ever got on there. <_<;a I'm INSANELY addicted to Tumblr, but I've not actually RPed on there other than writing little snippets of stories.
Franz' suggestion sounds good though if you can shake yourself out of feeling intimidated by the forums a bit!
If there are people like me, it's far easier to say that then actually do that, but that's a whole different beast and conversation that doesn't need to go here. I was just inquiring because some people may find it easier to try and break in with at least some OOC interactions, which are less intimidating then RPing/Preforming. But everyone is different, and there are different things and methods that work for different people.
