OzBargain Meetups: Still Alive and Running?

Hi, this is more directed to the moderators of OzBargain, will there be any more meetups? I have only been here for less than 3 months but I have looked and it sounds cool

let's see if we can get 100 votes to ask for a meetup?

      It's ok, he doesn't venture into the forums or comp section, he won't see that you professed your love for him :)

      • Too late. I think he just negged me :(

          Must've been EC getting jealous :P

      • It's ok, he doesn't venture into the forums…

        He has ventured, on a couple of occasions. Each comment as sweet as the bleat of a lost lamb.

        Bless.

        You could tell that he wanted to type 'What's the normal price', but couldn't.

        :'(

  • I can't go, it's not fair on the other men having ozbargain's most eligible bachelor there.

    Maybe add city to the vote ? Syd, Melb Adl, Pert, Bris… ?

  • Gotta Sync the meetups with a fleet of Free Uber Rides to and fro… lol

    Meet ups happen all the time, you're just not aware ;)

    • Big W gaming clearance
    • Dick Smith clearance sale
    • KFC $9.95 Tuesdays

    The list goes on :)

    • Could also just move to QLD where we have 9.95 KFC Tuesdays every week ;)

    Pretty much any 50+ voted click&collect deal turns into a meet up.
    I remember an old dick smith deal when I went to collect and the table was full of rows of the two items in the post, and the guy in front of me picked one up. I said "OzBargain" he said "OzBargain" and nodded. Good times.
    That was my human interaction for the twenty-teens right there.

    • Immediate members of your family aware of their demotion from humankind? Harsh…

        Ha! My 15yro high fived me for getting a front page post today. I didn't choose the bargain life.

        • Maybe just the lady of house should be offended, as kid is - of course - not human, but Snake Person ~
          :)

          ;-)
          The lady of the house (who would probably shoot me if she heard me describe her that way - what is the modern way to say adult woman who lives here?) rolls her eyes at ozbargain but these days does unit pricing - so it is wins all round at my place.

        • @mskeggs:

          what is the modern way to say adult woman who lives here?

          The boss.😀

        • Agreed, I am no soldier for gender rights compared to my wife who has been a fighter even back when I thought women had a place but should really stop being so vocal. Mind you, I save time these days by simply reversing my 1970s views and becoming a compassionate , modern human. Turns out, being a nice guy is modern!

          @nocure:
          Nocure, I wasn't having a dig at you. I see your posts a lot, and you are a thoughtful poster. I wrote a post that was critical of sexism, and it would be unfair if you thought i directed it toward you.

  • Anyone is welcome to organize a meetup and we'll be happy to support it. We've had 1 unofficial meetup in Brisbane and 1 official meetup in Melbourne.

    • Adelaide. We found an interesting venue but there wasn't much user interest.
    • Melbourne, we've been in communication with Beta Bar which was based in Melbourne CBD but is now in Hawthorn. We're trying to work something out with them for a meetup.
    • Sydney, Scott has done some mini-meetups at Cebit & UNSW but we're looking at Spawn Point for a meetup.

    Other cities? Well, suggest them.

    • thabks neil!

    • I won the Ozbargain beta bar new years comp in 2014.
      It was pretty good if you're into board games and video games.
