VOD may, or may not be dead, but in it's prime was completely bizzing with info and banter.
I spent 10 years running veg/bio and met a lot of people that I still consider friends even though I only see them once a year.
I personally think the demise of veg/bio is more to do with the work involved in collecting and making, less compatible veg cars around (and those that are about sell for good money), plus all this low emissions crap.
