-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm co-organizer of the KW Non-Profit SysAdmin group, which has a presence on meetup.com. We boast 249 members, but are lucky to get even 10 out to a meeting. If it weren't for the sponsorship of NetSquared, we wouldn't be using meetup.com at all. Too expensive, no practical return for money spent. And even NetSquared is looking for alternatives to meetup.com.
