Indeed. The home page is <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/conculture>.
The group was created about five years ago to fulfill the needs of
those who wanted to discuss their concultures without having the
feeling that they are being off-topic. So yes, Conculture is the
place you are looking for.

Without indulging in the same eternal discussion about the pros and
the contras of IB, I must object against the term hijacked. IB ís a
conculture after all, and it's true that by its very nature it
generates a lot of traffic; but don't give the false impression that
postings about other subjects are discouraged in any way by the IB
members, because that is simply not true. Anyway, a significant
portion of the recent traffic has been related to the Fortunatian
conworld, and not to IB.

Agreed.
> Regarding con-sports,
Consports are a recurring theme on Conculture. Even IB houses a few
consports.
