Well, there's that "poetryslamming" community on facebook. (I'm sorry, that was sarcasm) I agree, I miss a lot of things that used to exist on lj, it's not like it has manifested itself anywhere else. The cyberworld has just gotten dumber.
I miss PoetrySlamming Proper, and LJ in general, but I realize that many people aren't going to care about a website if it isn't A. Addictive and 2. Able to quickly generate immediate gratification

why is it that I point out a problem and instead of possible solutions I get a bunch of 1. Facebook this and B. Facebook that?
if you miss something, do something about it. as you so verbosely pointed out, society is not forcing you to push the bar. if you miss ps and lj, then come back and help revive it.
I didn't say anything about the facespace. I'm not even on the facespace because of the whole TMI problem. I said "I miss you guys." I don't need a long diatribe that's so completely off topic. but clearly, you are all so obsessed with the facespace that you can't see around it.

Men. Fully grown-ass men have stood up off the wives they were fucking, to go check on their Facebook Farmville, because their "strawberries are going to wilt!"
Sounds like you've had some personal experience with this, buddy.
Yeah I don't see what facebook has to do with poetryslamming being dead, there are plenty of other lively LJ communities. I think it's just because most of us are doing other things with our lives and we didn't vote people in frequently enough to keep the population up. FB and LJ are totally different, so I don't see why one would detract from the other.
I miss this place too. Maybe a solution is for all of us to, I don't know, post a poem? I think I did a while ago but I didn't get any comments. Maybe it's time to try again.
