How about an IRC channel? This'll let us chat real time. Not much use for tutorials and stuff but excellent for talking rubbish with each other. Also really handy to meet to discuss or organise real life meetings.
Think of IRC as like being in a big room with a whole bunch of people interested in the same thing. IRC allows you to chat to each other in real time very much like MSN, with the difference being there is no limit to the number of people in a conversation.
If it where to prove popular then an IRC java plugin could be added to the website, thereby negating the need for users to install any apps to visit the channel
Here's a vBullitin hack for this java app.

If the mods/admins need any assistance I'd be delighted to help.
I've not created any channel on a network yet coz I didn't know if you'd all be interested or not :) Howver I'd suggest #tpf on irc.quakenet.org
