I've been kind of wondering about this stuff as well. I've just pretty much been directly e-mailing people every month or so. We used to have a forum, but there kept being stupid bugs and the guy who was running it got tired of it and gave up. But whenever there's breaks or we find out other poeple are in town (We're mostly in college, I'm not, but that's a different story) we'll try to get a group together. Also, a lot of us, being in college, are on thefacebook.com, which is a friend network site for college kids.
The problem with Friendster, etc is that if people aren't going to email, are they going to do that? It requires the same amount of knowledge, pretty much, but at least it has social groups. I don't know if there's anything perfect for everything you need though.
