A nice Week 1 - I don't see Joe guessing this one.
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

I tried solving this without instructions for the first time. I did it!
Also, there is one square in the grid that I have no idea how to fill. I could Google, but hey, I'm already on the board.

Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

It certainly was not any of the things I was thinking about before getting the puzzle.
Surprised to have two naticks in a week 1 grid - square 45 and the cross of 64A and 55D.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

On the board. I had this almost immediately, but was worried I would break my streak if I submitted incorrectly. There would be much less pressure if I just broke the streak and was done with it!!

Also didn't know either of these, though I guessed the second one correctly.

I've submitted and am waiting (hopefully) to be beamed up. Edit: beamed up @ #164
We hosted a coding club sponsored by 45D this summer, so I knew that name but didn't know 45A. Also had to guess at 55D.

Tried so hard to make this simple puzzle difficult, luckily I did not succeed; I hope!
EDIT: Woohoo, 167; my streak is now up to 2, I'm on a roll

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
