The DC LessWrong group has a strong norm of splitting up conversations into multiple, which works well if people are being bored by a single person talking—one person will turn to someone else who looks bored and strike up a different thread with them. (Then if other people also are bored, they will join the separate thread or start their own.)
This fixes a few other conversational problems as well.
