Conversation, Community, and Facebook

As Facebook continues to kill off message boards like his one, I'm finding myself missing actual give and take conversation. I love the connections I've made and reestablished thanks to facebook, but I find them wanting. The truncated status messages can kind of work like posts, but the endless stream means that any comments happen right away and then quickly get buried. Add to that the responses tend to be more bumper sticker slogans than anything thoughtful.

So I come here asking, does anyone else feel this same malaise? Are there other places you are finding a more satisfying sense of community? Or has the time come to start hosting in person salons?
