I had no idea most of those groups existed despite multiple searches since I joined LT. Maybe because I've looked for active groups?
Some of the groups include discussion of erotica, some are for specific identities that aren't the same, a few are for offsite groups, and almost all are dormant. I wonder which would be better revived than left dormant while Chasing Rainbows gets attention.

Perhaps the fact that all these groups are dormant suggests that there isn't much interest.
And just because I'm feeling a tad curmudgeonly - what the heck is it with people who seem to join LT for no other reason than to start a group (since they catalog no books), and then don't even bother to start a topic in that group?
