You can poke as many people as you like.

Only logged in users can poke each other and you can only poke once and then need to wait for a poke back.
You don’t have to be friends to poke each other.

Thanks for the reply Sascha, I understand the feature now, but how do you do it? Can you only poke “friends”, or can you poke any of the members to try and get things rolling?

Members can also send messages to each other. I’ll try to make this process easier for ya’ll.

On the right hand sidebar of the page, there is also a little chat area. If you click on the arrow that points up, the chat window pops up from the page.
