If anyone wants a chat, I agree IRC is the best option. Hit up Undernet, and start using (and then register) #elitefitness or #ef. Whether it goes unused or not is hard to say, but if a lot of people spend their time online at EF, then using IRC at the same time is just as easy (unless a firewall blocks you). It's mostly an issue of culture, though, most people will stick to what they're used to.
