I miss that, too. RL bitchslapped me like a red-headed stepchild in 2004 and I had no time for most internettage, and whenever I poked my head back in since then there was... well... not much in the way of interesting discussionification. Not even stemming off of fic commentary (fondly remembers linguistics and social skills commentary discussions that evolved off of one person responding to an interesting fic).

And I never was much good at starting discussions, just at hopping in once they got going.
