The first thing I'd need on a Meetup Planning Committee are people who are up to date on social media, because I don't use any of these services.
Wine, I'm glad you're here because you're reminding me of other crucial things to consider for a real live meetup.
What can be done to ensure people's safety? Not only are there catfishes, but we have a lot of readers here who lurk and never say anything or reveal themselves. What if we announce a meetup and some 65-year-old guy decides he's going to show up because he wants to meet a 17-year-old member he's "interested" in, without her even knowing? I would feel personally responsible for her safety and would do everything I could to prevent that from happening.
There are tons of people who, unfortunately, pick up internet stalkers (at any age) and we need to protect people as much as possible.
Then it becomes a matter of invitation-only, which would turn the whole thing into one big clique, and that just doesn't seem fair either.
With all the challenges of trying to plan a real-life meetup, what would you all think of trying to plan a series of meetups in Singles Chat instead?
I can't guarantee I'd appear on camera (it's against my personal code, in order to protect the innocent
), but I'd definitely be willing to try the mic.

It's okay, Kim. I like the impromptu meeting idea. (If I ever visit Molly in the future, I'd like to invite other CCers too) That's the only one that works lol. At least for now.
Well, maybe if CC would coordinate a global meetup, raise funds and stuff, then that could be possible. Really, it's not such a far-stretched idea (there's gofundme and stuff like that). We'll just have to persuade CC admin to start it up
Yo, I'm in Singapore too.
Speaking of, maybe we should revive that thread. Chat coordination, if I'm not mistaken. I vote for this too! Of course someone (or better, a group of people, workload has to be shared xD) has to do the coordinating what with all our timezones.

Yeah...sorry.
...But if you know how to use Facetime or Discord, I'm all for it!

About the chatroom, I could swear I saw a thread about coordinating chat meeting times. I think it was started by a helpful, somewhat intelligent and good natured person, but I can't remember the nickname...

Don't take no coordinating, just somebody says "I'm gonna be at home with nothing to do tonight, anybody wanna chat? I'll be on between 5pm and 10pm Central Standard Time." And other people chip in that they'll be there, or maybe they don't and you wind up playing Fallout 4 on your computer instead.
Sounds like a trap to me...
Poor predator.
It sounds like she already has a place especially prepared for him. And, he is not going to like it there.
Kim -- by the sound of it, I think Galatea's basement just might make your basement seem like a McDonalds PlayPlace area...

The work it takes to maintain a nice dungeon... Er... Living room.
Yes. That's totally what I meant.
Living room.
