    I dare say the OP and interested parties have been pushed "underground" to private conversation land.
    There are pros and cons to both meetingsand id imagine it was never to hurt the pc community but merely the evolution of the site and meetings, there is a lot more action in the meeting department and i dare say theyll become more efficient or even more topic focused

    Yes, a revolution has been quietly brewing in the secrecy of private messages!

    We're thinking of having a small meetup on a weeknight somewhere that's as central as possible to all involved.
    If you're interested in being a part of the Introvert Property Gathering™, either post on here, or send me a message.

    There's nothing wrong with that. I've met many members one on one, and at small meetings, but still find the big ones great too. Different things suit different people.

    With the amount of interest in meet ups of late, I say, the more, the better, specific or general.

    I'd say its no different to past booms in Sydney. The level of activity also picks up and fades on Somsersoft/IPchat with each new wave of newbies in line with booms. Its been doing it for the past 16 years I know of.

    You're probably right. Personally, I think it should be the other way around, but I guess that's human nature.

    An update on the meeting(s): It looks like we might have to have more than one, with one being in the city and one being in Parramatta. So if anyone else is interested (especially in the Parramatta one, as numbers are low for that one currently), let me know.

    Thanks everyone for a great night last night, I got a lot out of it. It's very interesting hearing all the different perspectives.

    To those that might be interested for future meet ups, we'll probably make it a quarterly meetup in the city after work.

    As for the Parramatta one, that's happening on the 3rd of September, so let me know if you want to take part in that.

    Sorry Top cat, I didn't see your post. Next time!

    I always find it hard to quantify this, but for one that you have to make sure that your windows and doors are bolted down. ;)
    But also a little bit about developments and granny flats and just opposing views that challenged my own, which I always see as a positive. Because often you see that there is actually some merit in it, which you weren't aware of previously.
