That's weird. When I go to that page* I see 11 (eleven!) spam posts by 
'Tahniyat Kazmi' about topics like "the secrets to engaging readers on 
Twitter", "Five texts you should never send", etc. Below that is "I am offering 
FREE virtual servers to help kick-start my new cloud company" by Daniele Testa 
(not spam, but OT). Then finally there are some actual relevant posts, but 
they're months old.

LinkedIn is a job-networking site — I can see it's useful to have a tag there 
for CouchDB so people can register their interest/knowledge, but it's beyond me 
why people would want to discuss it there. We already have too many 
actually-relevant places to discuss it, like here, SO, the G+ group. A forum 
that looks abandoned sends a worse message about the technology than not having 
one at all, IMHO.
