Worst of both worlds

It looks like it. Unless someone else can think of more words to try it looks like that's it

I hope so, but it looks like none of the staff accounts have been on since it started. It will likely be ignored, it seems.

It's probable that staff have looked at the page without signing in - that way they wouldn't show up as having logged in.

After taking the contents of this thread under consideration, and the revelation that Voldemort's name is filtered to that of the Dark Lord's I have some more thoughts on the whole situation which I believe Emoti-Con's staff need to take under consideration. It's especially important to consider given we are rapidly approaching the 6 month mark for Emoti-Con's projected date.



What is it that is holding them back from any kind of real advertising, a real apology, or a real explanation of what their intentions are. Every time they make a post, it's holes and errors are pointed out within a matter of days, and as of yet no one has stepped forward to answer any of the real questions:



-Why do they continue to blame Voldemort?

-Who is now doing what in Emoti-Con's staff, and how many staff members are left? 
-Do they have any kind of focus when it comes to programming?

-Why have they not found new staff members to replace the problematic ones?

-Do they consider the bad behavior to be problematic?

-Why are they implying that DashCon refunds will come from Emoti-Con money?

-What in specific do they plan to do to avoid past mistakes?

-What kind of guests do they plan to bring in? 
-Why does it seem their staff is absent? (social media managers?) 
-Do they plan to narrow down their market segment? 
-Is there a plan to re-earn the trust of the internet at large? 
-Where is the supposed PR team? 
-How have they improved their planning skills to take up the mantle of a new convention? 
-Do they plan to add staff members with real significant experience/education? 
-What will happen if they don't sell enough tickets? 

While this list is a start, there are still many, many more that the internet wants to know, and I'm sure their potential customers want to know as well. It seems unlikely that people have bought tickets to this event when on their very own ticket page some of these concerns are listed, and they are entirely addressed. Additionally, their posts have little to no traction/positive support, and compounding the problem are posts like Nik's which are aggressive, defensive, and in every sense of the word, wrong. 


I have little faith these questions will be answered, but from the looks of it I can safely assume the answer is a resounding no/no comment on all accounts. Which is immensely disappointing, because DashCon did have potential, but it seems what little of that was left has been beaten with a stick and then someone attempted to prop it up with a stick.

Especially important to note is that there does not seem to be a back up plan if the event were to fail. Which begs the question, will they really just start a new event in an attempt to absolve themselves again? It seems that since they have auto-corrected Voldemort to Voldemort, that this is entirely likely. Not only did they fail to publicly take responsibility, but they ran everyone and anyone over with a bus, picked up a gaggle of teenagers with that bus, and then just kept on trucking and have continued to exhibit petty behavior. 

I think the chances of a rebound are slim to none. 

tl;dr: I give them 3 more months before fail, maybe sooner. 

Expansion, it took all that to say "Dashcon staff aren't competent and they're in over their heads"? People have been saying that since July.

They had to manually make it so that her name changes to Voldemort. Real mature. Real professional.
You can tell these are immature children running this. We'll actually Megg's in her 30's...
