Indeed! Turns out, Gather launched 2.0 a few weeks back and
terminated all the free plans. I only just discovered a few minutes
ago when I went to launch the meeting room (I had not received any
communication in September about the impending changes).

I had previously skipped using Zoom because during the Pandemic, it
was free up to 4 users and up to, I think, an hour (maybe just short).
Either way, for the needed scale, it was not free and at the time,
Gather was.
I have zero sponsorship for this meetup and do not plan to use any
paid meeting framework.
Google Meeting appears to be free for one hour meetings for up to 100
participants. It won't have the constant URL like Gather did so I'll
have to broadcast that at the start of each session.
