First, there's no need to panic. There are a lot of resources out there for you and a lot of places where people congregate.
You've already found one place: This group!
The next place you need to go is the Arbortext group here on PTC Communities. For everyone who's been a member of the long-running mailing list, adepters, this is where they're migrating the Adepters mailing list archive. On one hand this is good, the tribal knowledge that's been locked in an email list archive since 1995, will be in a publicly viewable, SEARCHABLE, location. It will also be a central location for PTC to coordinate with their customers. On the other hand, you won't get it delivered to your inbox, you're going to have to go to the website for your information. And you won't have the unfettered user-curated content as it's now officially run by PTC.
If you're looking for more places where the users run the show, be sure to join:

If you want to chime in on having a face-to-face meeting, we do have a Meetup group set up to gauge interest and look for volunteers to help start these kinds of events. Hop on over there if you're interested: http://www.meetup.com/Arbortext-Users/
