Meh... as far as I've been able to tell without signing in, the program
picks a nearby upcoming date out of thin air every month and calls it
the "International <group> Meetup Day", then picks some locations out of
thin air and calls them the suggested locations for people to vote on,
presenting them as if people had suggested them, and listing the total
number of people signed up worldwide as voting on those locations in
that particular city... all when there is nobody actually signed up in
the city you've chosen to view.
So... it's a good idea in theory, I just don't like the misleading way
they present things. But maybe that's just me :-)
