We have had 2 MeetUps for years and we have not collected a fee for members. Our weekly meditations and yoga classes (offered 3 times a week) have no fees for members. Our membership has grown to almost 2000, although most have never attended a single meeting. When we imposed a membership of $20 per year with a 14-day period, 99% of our members withdrew. Not a single one has paid the annual membership of 20 $US. MeetUp charges us close to $200 a year. We will no longer support MeetUp. It`s a waste of time and energy. Right now, when I write this post, I come back from a very terrible and terrible, and all you can call the Meetup meeting, at home. I think this case is the worst case here. Take a moment to read. I live in Sydney Australia and an organizer named George was organising a group in Sydney for the social group blah blah blah blah. At first glance, everything seems quite normal.
I arrive early at the meeting and people start coming. It was expected to be 9 people, but the number was increased, so I didn`t bother. The meeting took place in a restaurant in Sydney. Everything was going pretty well at first sociable people, I hear them talking with them a little food let`s all drink well. Then, when the meeting was about to end, I talked to a random guy out there about a great opportunity for a job he personally wanted to help me get involved in the industry while relaxing a drink. Suddenly, the organizer took me off the table and touched me and took me to a place other than the meeting place and told me he wanted to talk to me. Then he almost humiliated me that I feel so ugly, when all the people out there were so good to me and never noticed that and then he said he personally rejected me from the group for that reason and after he quickly asks me as an interrogation, where you live, what you do to live, and he sees me as the last man on the planet as a scumbag who is about to throw on the trash closer to the street. I wonder: what is the real purpose of these meetings? If someone in the group tries to help you participate in life with a job, the organizer humiliates you in a horrible disgusting way and throw you like a verm without even doing something wrong? These meetings are supposed to socialize and finally make friends who help each other with something, and that`s how we treat? I highly recommend if you see that this organizer ever in your life do business with him to join his groups. BE AWARE. I had a terrible experience with Kevin, who hosted a meetup group called NBH- Natural Born Hikers.
I`ve reported it several times, but despite all my follow-ups, they just ignore my messages. As unreasonable as it may seem, the meeting point for a walk was in Stratford metro station itself. I made it all the way from Edgware Street and arrived early, so I left the station. I didn`t even know that the meeting point inside the station was up to 15 minutes before meeting time. The rendezvous point was very illogical, because some people may have arrived by bus or people arrived early and left the station like me, and the meeting inside the station meant I had to go up and pay another fee. I stood at the Stratford bus station in front of the subway and texted the organizer in the group for over 20 minutes to explain the situation and asked him where I could join the group when they left the station, but he did not hesitate to respond to one of my texts.
