This is off-topic to Mythcon, but in response to your moving your attention to FB: FB does do a better job of keeping people in touch, but that's only because they're all over there. I didn't go there in the first place because it's such a lousy platform (and now there's plenty of other reasons too, mostly its shocking treatment of its users' privacy). By "lousy platform" I mean things like the strict limitation of post length, the awkward placement of longer follow-ups, the lack of archives. LJ is a better platform to communicate on, and if people would move back over here, this would do a better job of keeping people in touch.
Similarly, if people who would enjoy Mythcon would only go to it, that would solve its problems of retaining people. So I guess it's not so off-topic after all.
