Hi everyone! When I first joined the forums I tried starting up a Google Hangouts group where people could chat and work together, it didn't work exactly how I wanted it because you couldnt make a stable link.
Anyways, fast forward to now, Google is killing off Hangouts, but a friend of my suggested Appear.in as a replacement. It works basically the same as Google hangouts, but with the benefit that you dont need to log in or make an account to use it. It's pretty simple.
I've claimed this room as a spcae for us to chat and work on our comics together. It should be a stable link as well so feel free to bookmark it so you can get back easily, just pop in whenever. If you dont like talking/dont have a mic there's also a text chat as well. So yeah! I'm looking forward to hanging out with you guys.

Some general advice on what to do if no one is in the hangout: (I copy pasted this from a post I made lower down just so that it's easier to see)
1) wait - people check in to see if anyone's there pretty frequently, but if theres nobody there they leave - be the person there. You can turn off your mic/cam/screen share until someone shows up to save CPU or whatever.
2) Turn on desktop notifications, this will let you know when someone has joined the room (you might have to make an account for this I dunno)
3) Bump this thread, say you're in here and what you're up to and people might follow you in :V (Lets not abuse this though, excessive bumping is against the rules.)
4) Invite some people you know (ideally they're also comic people or at least artsy people.)
