Looking for vegan and vegetarian friends. I'm going vegetarian in hopes of going completely vegan in the future. Would like to pick some people's brains.

Have you checked out the Happy Herbivores group? It's only moderately active, but there's lots of good content there.

I've been vegetarian for 46+ years, but not vegan (ovo-lacto veg, in fact), and not especially a strong advocate here on MFP. I feel like vegetarianism/veganism is a rational choice for a person who has some type of ethical reason, but I don't consider it to be inherently healthier or better for weight loss.
There are IMO quite a few advocacy web sites with a too-loose relationship with science, but have found this one useful for sound evidence-based advice about nutrition on plant-based/vegan diets:
