Re: [UG-ADMINS] Meetup.com & Custom Domain changes

I'm kind of pissed at meetup.com for making that change but not enough to
have done anything about it.  I don't really see what they gain by it other
than irritated organizers.

One important thing to note.  If you unset your custom domain, you will not
be able to re-enable it later, so you'll always need to have a host that
sends redirects to the correct pages on meetup.com.
