Event management
Quick question, not sure if it has been asked before. The just is...
Organising events is slightly different than talking about game related information. Knowing how many people are going to attend, keeping track of what will be discussed, sending out reminders or change notifications, etc. Has something like http://www.meetup.com/ been considered? facebook? public google calendar? Or is the goal to get people to regularly check makegamesSA? Which is also okay.
The reason I ask is that reminders for me are kinda getting important and I cannot sign up for them on the site and often forget to check the site, with regards to meetups. However, I can input them into my calendar (so its not such a big thing). Just some food for thought.

At the moment I just have a monthly Google Calendar reminder.
Plus things like Geekdinner and 27dinners do just fine organising things on their own sites ;)
(pps and they actually have their events tacked up on their home page... something we need to get done)
