Are Member Meets a thing of the past??

I checked the boards tonight because I will be in town June 1st for a few days. It is sad to see so little activity, partially my fault, I read the LVA home page regularly but seldom read the forum anymore and rarely post. I was at the big meet at Mainstreet, several at the Seahorse lounge and many more around town.

I do miss the old crowd and hope everyone is well. Perhaps some of us can meet again.


Rockymet, if I were in town June 1, I would try to meet up. Have a great trip.
Thank's Lisa,

I would have bought the drinks, it just reminds me how much I miss all of you.

I remember a MM that (im pretty sure) Lisa put together (I think it was Aliante buffet). It was a classic with many of the old regulars in attendance (Lisa will remember the names). Great idea! Buffet allowed for leisurely conversation and plenty eats!

CLV ( I believe) did a similar 1 at Las Vegas Hilton buffet! Another great idea and plenty of the old heads!!

Your comment on meets at buffets reminded me that I have had several mini-meets with members via PM's at buffets. They have always been my fav. Its much more easy to have a conversation and really get to know folks.

Thanks for confirming Lisa. It was a great idea and fabulous turn out!
I came late to LVA meets, I have been a member for over 10 years lurked for many but didn't post. I did meet Dick and Pat very fun. I have posted a few times about M&G and not much response. Maybe because I am not a fun,witty poster like many of you, or it could be the forum doesn't get involved posters any more, (except for the nasty political).

I miss all the fun and camaraderie of those years gone past. Tales from/about Dogs , traveling blue bones , Mice, wheel chair mishaps, coupon runs, shower caps, waving flags, BBQ and most of all gambling LOL.

I am doing 2 M&G or parties in LV in Sept and Oct. with other groups. One has about 40 and another almost 100. So ......It is sad to see the LVA I once knew decline. Thanks for all those who do post.

Venom? I didn't think that there was any (except for in the Free For All section -- which is why I'm almost never in that section). But in the Paid Boards, I certainly don't see much of any venom -- unless I'm missing something (unless you maybe are refering to a couple of posters).

It really does not matterwhich board it's on,venom is venom.People see some posters verbally abuse each other and say "do I really want to meet these people?"I know I'm not particularly fond of rude people.

I think that it does matter which board it is on because I don't remember (certainly not any time recently) having seen any venom spewed out here on the Paid Members side of this forum and I have been to some nice meets over the years from the paid members' boards here.

At least to me, the decorum on this side of the message board looks and sounds decent!
