Ask HN: Were you in a computer user group, back in their heyday?

I'm writing an article about The Golden Era of User Groups, and I'd love your input. This idea came to me when I mentioned user groups to a young person who'd never heard of them. Oh no! It was such a special time of community support! Let's not permit the memories to go away! So tell me about your experiences! The basics: When, where, what type of group, how big it was. Your role, if relevant. (e.g. I was president of one group, VP of another, and on an international board of user groups... you might be "just a member" which is fine!) Your memories: How involved were you, for how long? What drew you to the user group? What made it special? Mostly I want to hear stories, anecdotes, and nostalgia. So please share! (And let me know if I can quote you, at least by first name.)
