Maybe I am missing the point here but who gets the $2 RSVP fee, they didn't exactly say in the marketing ploy. From what I can tell it is now $197.88 to host your group on Meetup as an organizer but with the new structuring that goes to $24. So if that is the case the organizer does pay less per year. If Meetup gets the $2 RSVP maybe the optional yearly dues asked for by organizers (at least in my case) may be less desirable to pay so the organizer gets less money and Meetup gets more (Hey, I smell new revenue stream!! Marketing department you're A-Go on this one). Reminds me of Northstar ski area charging for parking this year where it was free before all in the name of people will carpool so there will be less cars (right!). So before you had to park, take a cramped bus which you wait for get to the far end of the village then walk a long ways through the village and you finally get to the long line at the gondola to take you to the bottom of the mountain. That used to be free. Now you get to pay 10 - 40 dollars to do it. D'OH!!!!
