The No Longer FReeping Alone forum is still there, but not very active.
I think the bigger problem is that FReepers got out of the mode of actively FReeping in person, once President Bush was in office, especially after 9/11 and the support the troops FReeps. Hard to be social with other FReepers from behind a computer. The Tea Parties might offer some opportunities to meet fellow FReepers, but we need to get out there among each other again.
