I very much doubt it will be reopened. If you read Al Norris' sticky including the contained links at the top of this subforum, you'll get a pretty good explanation as to why L&P was closed and why it is unlikely to be reopened. Frankly, the Mods often have a difficult enough time keeping the much more restricted L&CR forum cordial, so I doubt they're overly inclined to allow some of the more polarizing discussions and topics that used to take place in L&P.
