What are you talking about, no one seems friendly here? I've found people to be really friendly (except for a few here and there, and you get used to them.)
Unfortunately there's probably not a lot of regional activity in Arkansas, but if you have plans to visit an area with regional SG presence, join the group for that region and tell them.
And you've been here a couple days. Give it time! You had like two posts here before you said that no one seems friendly? How's anyone to know you're here?
I'd stick to the boards and groups to start. I've been here a couple weeks and I haven't even gone into the chat. It seems like an afterthought; there are a lot of members, and only forty or so on chat?
Was there one girl in particular whose pic convinced you to join? Tell her! She'll you back, I'm sure!
you back, I'm sure!
