Given that the forum heavily avoids individual contact such as emails, private messages, and the sharing of personal information to most capacities it feels like the meet and greet section is a relic of the forum's past - when it was more open to forming groups, communication networks, and meet-ups.
Now it just exists for the purpose of shouting where you are, but if you can't give out any other Information then the chance of meeting anyone is pretty slim to begin with, making the entire section an empty collective of meaningless locations.
To fix this "meaningless board" dilemma, you could move the section to the Tenured only board and give Tenured Members the ability to PM, share information, connect, and form meet ups again...or you could just delete it entirely.
Or continue to ignore it...I guess.
It's existence at this point just seems out of place with the message that the forum has given regarding member privacy.

I second this. But isn't kinda nice to see where others are? Like how Aurum is from Finland - my dream land because I want to see The Northern Lights.

Literally so many spirits and entities now, even after I said I would not get anymore. But definitely under 200. May it stay that way

It's nice, but there could be just one thread with the topic of, "Where in the world is carmen sandiego!" (or some other amusing title) to share that stuff versus an entire sub-forum. ^^;Opelia Rendon wrote: ↑Thu Dec 31, 2020 8:12 pm I second this. But isn't kinda nice to see where others are?
