[QUOTE="Dirt, post: 3496215, member: 6209"] Nah...I'm still on the boards. For a long time, I was very active in posting my criticisms and suggestions. I'm just not vocal about it anymore. I can post advice until I'm blue in the face...but if noone is listening, it doesn't help much. I COULD be proven wrong, and they have fixed everything after last year's blow up (and subsequent apology dinner)...but I'm not counting on it. That being said... DonTadow, I think you're blowing the event excel spreadsheet thing WAY out of proportion. They had stated that it would be out around May 1st, and it was. Now, the issue with the "200", you may have a case there...I don't know, because I didn't pay attention to it (since I wasn't affected by it). I have attended GenCon for 15 years. I remember just faxing in my event list (along with alternates) and just praying that I'd get events I wanted and a decent schedule. It has come a long way since then. As an event dedicated to gaming, GenCon really can't be beat. It is the one MUST DO convention for any devoted gamer. It doesn't excuse the issues that they've had, and I agree that many of their problems have been HIGHLY frustrating...I just don't think that the event reg excel spreadsheet not coming out on April 30th is an issue.
