I do remember when it wasn't so late. I don't have strong time preference but I do have a strong not-being-alone preference. One of the things about those earlier nights, is there was always a group hanging around in public up to the time the meetup started to serve as anchor. I did that for a long time and no one really seemed to take over when I stopped.

These issues are further compounded by the fact that we really have a LOT of weekly events now. There are many nights of the week that people are watching movies or doing pypy or playing mahjong and there's really no point in logging in if you don't want to do those things.
