The forums have a great deal of value in structure and whatnot - if you have a question that's already been answered, you can search for it and find it easily, or you can ask and almost certainly find an answer very soon from the helpful community - but is there a place that's more.... open, casual, some such thing? Like a Skype group or an IRC channel or what have you?
I mean, I'm sure places like that EXIST. What I mean is, does anyone know where one can be found?
I know there's a Pathfinder subreddit. Though that might not be everyone's cup of tea.
There are also plenty of general tabletop gaming forums, many of which have Pathfinder threads or sections.
Subreddits, forums, threads.... that's not really what I'm looking for. I'm talking about instant messaging, stuff where people talk and respond in real time instead of leaving each other messages. It probably doesn't make a huge difference to most people, but I find it a lot more comfortable. Forums and such systems feel, I don't know, businesslike, which is good for some things, but uncomfortable for casual conversation. Personally speaking, of course.
Ah, I understand. Well, maybe someone else will know of something. In the meantime, there's always google!
You might want to try the DM Tools Chat.
(Most users there are on american time-zones)

Hrm. The only thing I know of like that is the Facebook Pathfinder RPG fan page. If someone posts something interesting and casual, responses can be had in a matter of seconds. I've had comments answered in almost real time. I've been able to make connections with Pathfinder content creators and have Friended some, with the exchange of Facebook messages in real time. Your Mileage May Vary, of course.
