- bitboxer 14y agoThe link was to a public post on that group that described the situation. That post was removed as was the complete discussion and mailing list
- dbaupp 14y agoOh, I see!
- veemjeem 14y agoIt's a very sleazy way of getting meetup members. I bet her other "groups" were also formed this way. Sounds like Meredith Monroe is selling some kind of scammy product to startup companies. In a way, it's also brilliant -- hack your way into acquiring targeted audiences without the audience knowing they signed up for something slightly different. But yeah, I would probably put Meredith Monroe into the same bucket of people who acquired my email from various sources and is now trying to sell me viagra pills.
- blacktar 14y agoYes, the group name was changed from "Hacker News Cologne Meetup" by the new unsolicited "organizer".
- blacktar 14y agoAnd it has now been renamed again to "Cologne Startups".
