Last night, over 2000 members disappeared from the Conscious Social Scene Meetup.
If you were removed from the group last night, please know it was an automatic "dump" by MeetUp.
I apologize if it came as a surprise. I have sent a couple of emails over the last few months as well as Meetup.com generating 2 recent emails to let all current members know that I have decided to charge a very small annual membership fee. After the 60 day free "trial" from the date I put that fee into effect (Mid-October), all non-paying members were removed from the group by MeetUp.com.
Why did I do this? It was a difficult decision. It's not about making money. I have had a growing concern that hundreds of people have been members but I have never met them. Out of 2000plus members, only 5-35 people RSVP. My desire is to create space for a safe and connected community of like-minded people, and if you are not coming, then you really aren't a part of the community. So, I decided to charge a nominal fee of $15 for the year. This offsets the cost that MeetUp.com charges me, it offers me a bit of compensation for my time and efforts to organize events and gatherings, and creates a small commitment from members to be a part of and perhaps a bit more incentive to attend the events and gatherings.
Please feel free to contact me via text or email with any questions or comments.
