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

Pretty sure I have it. Close enough. Do we have to wait until he gets home from work and checks his messages?
Confirmed. Lovely meta.

I can spare a few minutes during lunch break, and yes, you've got it. So at least I know it's solvable...

Have an answer. Not sure if its correct. Doesn't seem to be in the right category.

Stared at the grid for an hour or so โ following a few rabbit holes, and finding nothing โ then suddenly saw what to do in a matter of seconds. A very nice aha.
Some amusing clues, too.
Nice work, Peter!

Not sure where you live but here on the east coast we're in EDT :-p
