im gonna copy this exactly as i posted it in the vorc thread
please do not lock or delete this thread as i think this could actually be a good thing
the mods are very active so its not like moving threads around (archiving compos or moving meetup concept threads into an event forum after interest in actually having a meetup is shown) is something that would be much of a problem for you guys
you would then be giving meetups and cons front page exposure all the time instead of just when they are at the top of community or they become SUPER IMPORTANT and get moved into announcements
also wed have a good place to archive all meetups and events because as it is now its hard to find old stuff and yes occasionally i do look for that old stuff
