Hoom. There are a number of things about this Autumn Meet affair that don't sit well with me.
Still, I intend to attend as the meet will mark my the end of my fourth year on h2g2.

whats up?

Low numbers, mostly the so-called 'usual suspects', when the break with tradition was meant to be part of move to get numbers back up.
I personally favoured the Summer/Winter system but could understand why some migh not. But, there didn't seem be a convincing case made for breaking with it *this* Autumn, I felt that having the winter meet in November [somebody has a birthday then] would have made more sense and starting next year with a spring meet it would meant plenty of time for people to plan ahead a good period dedictaed to getting the date right [first by month them by weekend]. This was re-inforced when the vote for chosing a date in October was arbitrarily closed after getting a lack-lustre response, possibly if we look at Master B's and my experience due to a lack of promoting it's existence or it could be symptomatic of the decline of Ask and the maybe even the site.
It risks looking like a clique event and if the site is in genuine decline that's just what it actually is going to be in the future.

That's the gist of what doesn't sit so well with me.

All very good points

I'd love to see the meets really thrive again

Two researchers have their Birthdays then. and only two days apart. Could be twins...

BTW, are we doing The Skinner's Arms? Saves on the deposit! And who is organising it, as I am sorting the potential afternoon event?

Azathoth, there's only so much publicity researchers can do. Most of those that were in the original conversation put an entry in their journal so that people on their friends lists could see it, even those that aren't sibscribed to 'Ask', some had the A number in their names, and there was the 'Ask' thread.

I can't see why whole-community events can't be highlighted in an announcement, even if the italics aren't involved in the organisation. We'll never be able to let *everybody* know but we'd have a much better chance from an announcement.

I, too, am saddened that there are so few attendees. I like the folks I've met but I'd like to meet some more!

Yes, I think it's ironic that the date was changed to autumn/spring after sooooo many new people preferred it - and none of them has signed up. If it's not better at the spring meet, maybe we could go back to winter and summer then ?

3 researchers have birthdays in Novemeber; -if you're counting me in on the birthday stakes, that is?
