I'm normally just a lurker here so I created an account to post this question. I intend to creep back to the shadows of HN after this :).

- andymoe 12y agoI'd say that's not the best approach to meet new people.
- throwaway_sf 12y agoI posted a question about where to meet people in SF. You have not answered this question and are not contributing in any meaningful way to the discussion I am interested in having. Furthermore, I was downvoted for putting an honest reply as to why I named this account as I did. I doubt it would've raised any eyebrows if I named this account "new_to_sf" which is functionally equivalent. THIS is why I lurk on HN and want to meet people in the real world instead. Ridiculous.
- andymoe 12y agoPoint taken. My partner and I run a drone startup meetup with 1000+ members [1] and also build an iOS app and hardware to control UAVs at long range. Sign up and come meet some new people next time we put one on. My point was that if you put yourself out their instead of lurking people will respond better (instead of how I and other did) and can also reach out to you. If we know nothing about you or what makes you tick we have no connection and no reason to spend our time helping you out. http://www.meetup.com/SF-Drones-Startup-Meetup http://www.meetup.com/SF-Drones-Startup-Meetup
