<upd_detl>So yeah... kinda surprised there's not already a reference 
to this exact usage (#5). One could argue that it overlaps 
with meanings one and two, but the nuance of being a sort-
of main gathering place seems pretty important to me.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>Honestly, I'm not familiar with the Japanese 
dictionaries, but Wikipedia and niconicopedia dictionary 
entries seem to back up the usage. I'm guessing someone 
can find a better reference if necessary.
