📚 Online forum to ask Chicago Manual of Style related questions? (beehaw.org)

Does anyone know of a good (and hopefully also free) online forum where someone can ask questions related to the Chicago Manual of Style? Chicago Manual of Style's page has an online question form, but it seems like it's one of those "we'll answer your question if we get to it" type of things. I need to ask questions about things not specifically covered by the Manual where I have some hope of getting a timely response. Any suggestions?

EDIT: A very belated thank you to @[email protected], @[email protected], and @[email protected]; I will definitely take a look at Discord, Evidence Explained, and Stack Exchange.

EDIT EDIT: A bonus gift for @[email protected] (and also because I posted this earlier and I think it got lost):

Well, unfortunately, StackExchange was just how I remembered it: lots of snarky assholes waiting to pounce on newbies. Account created, question asked, bitchy response received, then account deleted. Thanks for your suggestion in any case.

I don't like that either. I just say, once you get used to it, it might become useful.
