Were meetups in VRchat the downfall of /vrg/ all along? The word 'meetup' itself implies something that doesn't happen regularly. Game lobbies on /v/, for instance, are spontaneous and ephemeral. A random person hosts, people who don't know each other join, then probably never recognize each other again after. Frequently interacting as a group under usernames is something fundamentally incompatible with 4chan. Discord, inner circles, valentines day, shitposters, leaderfags, lewders, or whatever, are just the inevitable consequence of forgoing anonymity. There should never have been a daily instance for 'all of' /vrg/ to join. Occasionally, perhaps, but never often enough to establish such an interconnected network of people. It's completely different from various groups of friends meeting up separately, and none of them considering it to be the /vrg/ meetup.
