Hi Lyz, I'll drop by

Is this a 'Women' only affair?

Is this a 'Women' only affair?

No. The channel is, and always has been, open to all genders. This meeting is no exception

[reiatzu]

I'll make sure I'm free then.

Since the mods apparently have no sense of humor, and just in case other forum members don't either, I have removed the original content of this post.

Bah Humbug.

Uh, 13:00 is 1 pm.

I'll see if I can ask Elizabeth to edit her post. I could do it for her, but I would prefer she could confirm these times, since the ones in the wiki also seem suspect. Thanks again for spotting that.

You're absolutely right about the mistake, it looks like there was a typo on the wiki that I copied for this announcement

I've updated my original forum post and the wiki to reflect the correct time.

Thanks!
