This has been up before and Simon says:

There is no way to contact individual people on the website other than to publically post a comment to something they have written (unless they place contact information in their profile, of course).

The designers of the website software that Inward Quest uses deliberately made it difficult to "chat" with other website users.

The reason for this is that the designers found that most internet forums become worthless over time as sources of useful information because, as the forums became more and more popular, they tend to descend into trivial "chat" rather than stay focused on the purpose of the forum.

So, as you may have noticed, the website software we use makes it quite difficult to do anything other than ask questions and provide answers to them.

But looking at the consistently high quality of the information that is accumulating on Inward Quest, compared to many other "normal" internet forums, we think most of those original software design decisions have been wise ones.

We do, however, appreciate that some users would like to become more "social" with others. So, for that reason, we have set up an Inward Quest Facebook page and anyone that is interested can post their profile there and become friends with others who are there - and you can even hold social discussions on Facebook itself.

But, beyond that, we don't have any plans for any "chat" type forums related to the website because that's not primarily what Inward Quest is about.
