lol it was a good find, wasn’t it;) The lovely culture here is partly
why I rebuffed them when they wanted to dictate how we did things;)
Cheers,

Hi folks,
Despite being list admin for a while of this group, I've never
actually lived in Sussex (haha). I joined because the London Mac
User Group had become a feral wilderness and it was the nearest
one.
I thought I might also try to join the Buckinghamshire one (if one
exists) but have had no success finding one, nor even finding any
group. All the supposed networks (like
http://www.macusersuk.org/index.html) seem to be abandoned.
So I'm curious how people find groups (and maybe it's just my
search algorithm being unhelpful – I don't use Facebook, either).
Cheers,
J
Anecdote mode:
While I was list admin I was contacted by the mafia I mean the
people running the list above (I think it was) who had all kinds of
demands about how the list and group should be run run. They
insisted on membership fees, organised in-person meetings (monthly,
I think), presentations to be organised by companies to offer
discounts if you signed up there and then - far more than I had
time to do.
Rather than say 'don't you have anything better to do?' I did put
it to this group who thought membership fees would be the
death-knell, and I certainly didn't have time to check people had
paid their £2 a month and set up bank accounts etc for this. I
told them we didn't want to do that and they threatened me
repeatedly with expelling us from the official list of MUGs. I
think there was a vague move to meeting in-person for those
interested, which fizzled out.
I said they were welcome to run that stuff for us but I was only
able to run the list (I became convinced none of them had jobs, and
were happy to spend their entire lives doing this) and they seemed
to back off. Now I suspect all those retired bullies are...less
active, since the site is broken and looks like it was optimised
for a Powerbook 150.
Cheers,
Jason
