We might as well try and keep a running list of the asylums here, especially the fandom ones but the general ones too - like LJ has metaquotes and bad_rpers_suck and things. :P I don't expect there's many at the moment, but it'll help people coming in later to keep track.
A NOTE: If you're creating a new asylum, squeaky would love it if you posted about it to asylum_promo, too. That way people watching that asylum can learn about all the new places being set up.

Obviously, if I discover any I'll mention them here.

I am off hunting for my fandoms to see if there are any comms here.
sagami
There's in_variance, a RP comm formerly on LJ. It has yet to start, but might become active after they have finished RP-ing the second day.
PS. Are you listing only the comms moved here from LJ, or all comms (including the ones which began here on insanejournal)? If so, there's a comm knowns as dear_you for writing annoymous letters to vent, and journalwhore, a comm dedicated to sharing codes from other LJ clones. There's also ijdesigners (which hasn't been updated since 2004), but stylemonkeys seem to be its successor (no posts yet, to date). There's also howto, which is supposed to provide styling tutorials, but it's also not been active since 2005.

Great idea, btw.

Hopefully that'll attract some people who might be willing to start up asylums here to mirror the LJ comms.

If anyone gets interested
For reference, for those that know me at LJ, I play derek_bliss over in some the of nexus comms there, including dear_mulitverse. (And yes, I've already started creating Derek over here as well).

Likely I'll drag my rp companions over from LJ and we'll start half a dozen asylums tho, lol.
