There are no rules carved in stone on how to find people to talk to here. My favourite is to join in the discussions - either in the chat or on the boards - it gives people an idea who you are and the rest comes naturally. Lol, I started out mostly playing games here and met a few people through that. Another way goes through posting an ad in the Personals section, maybe commenting on stories, sharing fantasies... But really, it's like any other place you meet people...be yourself, join in the fun and you'll find people to hang out with.

And no...there're no hidden rules or protocols here.
