The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

Got it. What a hard grid though! For me, the clues were VERY obscure and I had to resort to Google more than I prefer. Amazing construction, I must say.

That was clever!
The grid was hard, but in a good way. Challenging, but managed to figure out almost all the stuff I didn't actually know. Finished my pre-google attempt with only one square that I had no idea about (and guessed wrong).
Got lucky in that my first idea about the meta turned out to be the right path.

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.)

Got it. The grid was pretty gnarly, but my guess at the meta panned out.
Pretty amazing effort all around by Alex.

Solved. Tough slog, but very clever. Also submitted if anyone wants to compare notes. There's no way my answer isn't 100%, but...
