Regarding meeting people in voice chat, you can do that as much as you want, provided you are already a member. We have a Teamspeak 3 server dedicated to AOD, however the address and password are only given out by an officer during your recruitment process. Then you will meet and talk with them a little, go over some rules and stuff maybe, then you will be dropped off in your respective division room. From then on you can talk to/group up with anybody who is playing with you at the time.
As for activity, what you're saying is a bit vague, but these might answer your question about it:
1. Members are able to go on LOAs(Leave of Action), in which the member will be inactive over the period that they designate. Reasons for this can be school, military deployment, medical, etc. As long as you have a valid reason, and that it is ok'ed by your respective division officers(At least if it's a non-standard reason you need it).
2. If you find out that for some reason you feel you don't fit in very well here (which is probably impossible, I hope D: ), obviously it's entirely up to you if you'd like to retire and move on to other things. I'm not sure if this applies to all divisions, but I believe there is usually an open door policy where if you change your mind later, you are welcome back.
Other than this, when your status is 'Active', this means you should be active in your main division. For example, in World of Tanks(Wargaming Division), the rule is you should play once per week, and post on the forums once every two weeks. You'll survive if you don't always meet the requirement, but if you are consistently inactive it's possible to lose your rank/member status when they clean out inactive players.
