Ahh... This was Back In The Days (which we oldies remember fondly) when this Planet had more active members and the CMs had more time to spare. The discussion group took mainly place in a chatroom we called bilbos-study, a sister room to our regular chatroom an only used for "serious" things. As you may see from the threads, we would be told what chapters to read, the one responsible for that weeks subject prepared questions and such and a week or so later we would meet and discuss. 

I think I only took part in one or two, a bit late in evening for me.
