That's just flat out too bad. I had subscribed to Baton Pass. I was looking forward to it. You decided that you didn't have the time for it and wanted to pull up stakes before you got too committed, and that's understandable -- even admirable.
Maybe you are not connecting with people here because it's a forum set up mostly for content creators. If you don't have a series with which people may identify you, you're not as memorable. It's not you so much as the situation. I'm just spitballing here.
Maybe we should set up a thread for recruiting reading buddies. We have threads for subscription trades and comment trades and share what accomplishments we make outside of Tapas, but we don't really have a thread (as far as I've seen) which is just for people who want to discuss what they are reading.
