friday7 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 HI I signed up for the meet others program a while ago but then I never really did anything about it. How could I get a list of the people that are on the meet others list in my area? That's Middlesex NJ by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misstraci Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hey, I think whenever someone in your vicinity signs up that you are sent an email with their name and email address (I've gotten several for Atlanta GA). I bet that doesn't account for people already on the board though. So, good question! Hope someone else can answer your question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corina Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'm not really familiar with the program but I've asked Rachel our president. Hope she will be able to answer your question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkerbella Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Misstraci is right with her answer. I have met many wonderful new friends of people who live near me. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hi Friday,When someone joins Meet Others, his/her email address is sent to everyone else in the state who is already in Meet Others. This is the only way we pass on contact information now. We are no longer able to send out contact information to those who request a listing for their state, and we are not able to send email addresses of "old" Meet Others members to those who are new members. We had to make this change for security reasons, and I'm sorry that it has to be this way. There were too many new members who were joining just to spam everyone in their state with a miracle "cure" or something else that they were selling. We received a lot of complaints about this, which led to the change. The only contact information given out now is that of the new members. When someone in your area joins, you will be sent an email with their contact information. It is up to the old members to contact the new members who join. We are wanting to revamp the program to make it more user friendly and allow members to block others, initiate contact, keep email addresses private, etc. It's a big project, though, so it will take a while.Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friday7 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Thank you Rachel, I totally understand why you would have stopped the way you used to do it. I hate those spammers.I hope you can figure out a way to do it in the future so that we can get a listing of all the people who put their names in for the meet others program in our area. Is there maybe a way you could give that info out to members who request it in a PM?I suppose you might get spammers that way but it requires a little more effort to do, so I thought it might be worth thinking about.I should have saved those email one at a time, but I didn't so now I can only contact new members.I was thinking it would be helpful to have addresses of all of the people in our area to maybe start a group or meetup. I know some members aren't able to do that but some are. Or it just would be nice to see if anyone is really close to where i live..That way if you strike up a friendship you might be ore able to meet up if you want.Anyway thanks for explaining . Again I totally understand. I hate those kind of people that use a group to push their own agenda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahA33 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Sorry for the delay, mechamoss, I didn't see this right away. This program has been discontinued due to lack of participation. Here is a link to a topic that members have created in the past: http://www.dinet.org/forums/topic/24549-anyone-from-south-central-pa/ Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
