 * I did a query and it brought in meetup events as far back as 2008 and so for 
   my ‘active’ events it shows events from 2008 – 2012. How can I start over or 
   simply make these inactive?

 * mtporter,
 * So what you will want to do is make sure that your past and future query options,
   in the options page of the WP Meetup dashboard, are set the way that you want
   them ([http://puu.sh/i4Zd4/2aca681ebb.png](http://puu.sh/i4Zd4/2aca681ebb.png)),
   any event that falls inside that interval will be considered an active event 
   and will be shown in event lists and calendars. Once you have those set correctly
   make sure that you have also checked the box under database options for events
   outside query range to be automatically set to inactive ([http://puu.sh/i4Z4K/2331ebff3e.png](http://puu.sh/i4Z4K/2331ebff3e.png)).
   These events will still be shown in your events page, under inactive, but will
   not be displayed in event lists and calendars. You can optionally also have events
   outside of your query range automatically deleted from the plugin database. Both
   of these options will help you clean out old events.
 * Hopefully this is what you were looking for,

 * Hmm, well, client wants to display on an archive page meets that happened as 
   far back as 2008.
 * I actually did the query twice with 2 sets of values thus causing the ‘order’
   to be incorrect and so I removed them all in PHPmyAdmin and did another query
   and problem was fixed.
