Welcome to ASF
@trender.
People have tried to organise physical meetups in the past but I don't think they have had much success. Most people are really busy, and online seems to work better because you don't have to be somewhere at a particular time, you can just visit the forums when you have some free time to read and reply to posts that interest you.
Engaging in discussions with others from the comfort of your own home at a time that suits you is generally easier and more appealing to most people in these hectic times.
But good luck with your search.
