So just a section of kind of what I said. "I'm here anyone want to meet?" (and no @hilariousandco not tinder) then hangout for a few hours and leave. If nobody responds so be it
Just do that in the Meet-up section. As with all new sub boards they're created if there's a demand for them so if the meet-up board turns into some sort of hook-up or lets hang out board then maybe theymos will create a sub for them. I think you would be less likely to get interest for one-on-one meet-ups or smaller gatherings though and if people get friendly here or want to meet up it will probably be done through PMs etc like I know it has before. I'd also bet 99% of the people who have showed interest in this here wouldn't meet up with a random person even if they were in the same city.
The point is not just for "Hey Dave I'm going to be in your area" but also "I'm on vacation hiking in Utah anyone else here?" or "Stuck at this lame ass 3CX training seminar in Jersey anyone local?" That kind of thing. I would think a lot of us are showing up to the same conventions / meets / seminars but never have any contact.
Just a thought.

Sounds like you really need Tinder

This is a welcome development but quite unfortunate the forum is more interested in the privacy of its users even in the local boards people care more about their privacy they don't talk about who they are and where they live I think the creation of a " hook up board" won't be a bad idea, it would create more unity among the members of the forum, there are so many members who contributed much, spend years on this forum and passed away without meeting anybody in real life from the forum maybe we should uncover the masks sometimes it would mean alot to some persons.
If you want to meet crypto enthusiasts but don't want there to be a connection between your online profile and your real identity just make an alt account and suggest a meetup. Say where you will be and that you would like to meet like-minded people. It might even be interesting, like a blind date. You don't know who is coming, but it is not important. Both parties will be there as crypto fans, and that is the only thing that matters. Friendships can be formed this way if you both hit it off.
This could also protect you in the event a forum user tries to meet a famous Bitcointalk user to rob/blackmail him. Have your pocket knife with you just in case.
I'm sure most people wouldn't want to meet with a newbie, and if you're just wanting to hang out with a random person off the internet then there are apps and websites for this.
] and only push this idea back to the top once there are enough threads for having such board.
