This shit from Meetup.com is sooo shady. The meetup group is on hiatus (since before the pandemic) and I decided no longer wanted to pay them £$€ per year to maintain the account.

So they spam this stuff to all the members implying leadership is up for grabs within a few clicks.

To be clear: we still consider the BDD London meetup 'ours' and would be pissed off if someone else started using the name without talking to us.

If someone does want to inject energy into things, DM me!

@ciaran This behavior isn't new. Payment = active group
One way to prevent orphaned data.
@SenseException hm that's a good reminder I should grab the dates and descriptions before the account dies, thanks
@ciaran @SenseException Yup, I recently got charged $214 for a subscription for a similarly dormant meetup - the London Code Dojo.
I guess I'm going to have to work out how I export my data and close the account, grrrr!
@ciaran the same has happened when I didn't pay for the Symfony meetup...
