For those of you curious why some Meetups fail: They tend to be boring and not well organized around a purpose or objective. Putting a bunch of people in a room together without a purpose is like gathering an army of soldiers in a gymnasium without a war or even a training exercise.<p>There&#x27;s nothing to do. That&#x27;s why some meetups fail. Whereas video game &#x2F; exercise &#x2F; yoga based meetups, from what I&#x27;ve heard, are much more successful and long lasting. People need something to do together. Not just sitting around talking to people without a purpose. That works temporarily but after 2 successive meetups without a purpose it&#x27;s boring.
