The way(s) in which people communicate has changed over the years, as has the concept of community. If a fragmented community is what reality has dealt us as a hand, then those are the cards that we play.
Fortunately for you, the dragon lost in slumber was also the dragon lost in thought. A great treasure in ideas is ours to grow the sense of community with. Unfortunately for you, I'm pretty much a hermit, so you'll have to be the one going forth to fight the windmill obstacles, my friend. I'll be guarding the refrigerator.
I would encourage you to take the word forth into the scattered PBM communities, for my own presence there largely went unnoticed. Ah, the price we quiet types pay!
