I'm just amazed at how those 3 found each other. Their shared love for meaningless detail story telling and complete obliviousness to the ridiculousness of what they're saying is mind boggling.
You are assuming Dragan, Nola, and superiorClimber "found eachother" in Belgrade.
I would not be surprised if they have known eachother for much longer than that.
Comte mentioned leftovers from closed forums like PUAhate...that's definitely one possibility, or it could be more sinister than that.

There was a supposedly other guy kinggray something who used to post Meetup threads about every location at the same dates and I remember reporting him and suspecting he was collecting numbers.
Mass data mining of personal info (Getting phone numbers, email addresses, real names, and real photos of members here) by gaining trust online is usually done by 3 different types of people:
1. People who hate this forum and what is stands for, and want us taken down by any excuse
(Mainstream journalists, PUA haters, male feminists, SJWs, etc. The list is long)
2. People on the autism spectrum (aspergers)
(Those who have extreme difficulty meeting people in real life and need validation by presenting an amazing fantasy life online that they do not actually lead. They seem to have endless "insider" information on various interesting topics, but when you dig deeper, you find the their stories don't make sense timewise, small but important details are incorrect or missing, and their life stories have no personal touches like a normal human).
3. Paid intelligence agents from alphabet soup agencies who are infiltrating/disrupting groups
(Not as crazy or far fetched as it sounds....one (now deceased) member here was arrested in Thailand, (then quickly committed suicide in prison under very suspicious cicumstances) and his links to RVF were made public after having been under surveillance for a long time). It is very naiive to think we are not under some kind of official surveillance here.
Or those who are a combination of all 3 of the above

I'm glad this got stopped now because it would've hurt the willingness of the older members to meet new ones even more. I used to give out my number and stuff freely and raise my eyebrow when some would suggest only giving it out after meeting but I get it now.
Just take precautions before you meet someone and know them.
Use burner emails and throw away phone numbers until you meet them a few times and trust them.
I have met more than 15 guys off RVF, some of whom I am in regular contact with.
With most of them, we don't even know eachothers last names because we never shared that info.
Just remember RVF has many enemies in the world...and some are smarter than SJWs or basement dwellers in trying to mislead and fool us.
We are all considered subversive by the establishment and it's almost a miracle this forum has lasted 10 years and is still online.
A big reason for that is the strict rules, hardcore moderation, and hazing/policing/detective work by members like us.
