Thanks Dan! But honestly there were pepple doing Flyertak events and get togethers before I did any of mine and I took my cues from them.
so I'm not hte only one responsible for this trend. But I did my part to help it along and some of my events held the record for best atended for quite some time!
Sorry if this caused any confusion.
There were FlyerTalk gatherings of all sizes before my do's. My events were just the first ones to use the word "do" here on FlyerTalk. It seemed to take hold and go on from there.

Since Catman bumped up an older, more comprehensive thread on this subject, I'll merge this newer, shorter thread into the larger one. Ocn Vw 1K, Co-Moderator, CommunityBuzz

Most of the information is a click away once you read the first milepost of that “sticky” thread.

======================
...so, if a FlyerTalk member is into scuba diving and wants to have an underwater FlyerTalk gathering, would it be called the Deep Doo Doo?
======================
I told all of you this was going to be messy. It serves you right for ignoring my warning not to read this milepost...

Now the question. If the Meet is being held in a "rat hole," should it be called a DO or a DON'T?
