Registration Experience (Good or bad?)

[rowport]

Not anymore. My last time at Gen Con was ten years ago. Ahhh, the good old days.....

Aha! I getcha.

Yep, sometimes newer /= better. Technology is really only cool when it works.

From a business standpoint, it's probably not worth it to fix it, or spend money renting additional capacity. Sure, they generate some ill will, but we all still go the damn thing. We're a captive audience. And of the 25,000 attendees, there are probably less than 5,000 of us diehards jamming the servers and complaining right now.

I acknowledge your point. You don't have to spend all the money the 1st year. You can do a 2 or 3 year upgrade. But don't trumpet all the "changes" you're making and have it fail EXACTLY the same way as last year.

Furthermore, we (the gamers) are willing to help (FOR FREE!) on stress testing, tips and feedback - They bristle. I could always have used a extra hand if offered. It comes across as arrogance.

I got to the point where I could see the "add events" boxes, but I can't get past it.

der_kluge, these pictures have really brightened my day! It's hard to vent and rage when you're laughing so hard!

Furthermore, you could AT LEAST taken the forums off the main server. Any old box can handle that.

I was there roughly 90 minutes ago. Then I was bumped off, and I've been trying to register for the last 30 minutes.
