The last time I saw any news on this Torcon Site was 6weeks ago and it was about Sars.....As if we want to hear more crap about that..I've seen regular updates on that subject and little else...Shouldn't they be more concerned about the people going to the con having a knowledge of what they will be seing? Woudn't that boost attendence drasically(hmmmm)? Some news on programming and events would have been nice by now don't you think?? Four years ago for Chicon they had the tentative full schedule up in mid July, and everyone was happy. Is that so difficult to do??? Ofcourse I know it takes incredible brains to coordinate and decide on topics for panels with such a narrow range as science fiction and fanasy(yeah right).
Also, they took away the members list so now we have no idea wether or not distant friends will be going to the con....Apparantly a few sad individuals complained about there identity being released so they canceled the whole list instead of just removing these paranoid selfish sadsacks.... Truthfully, I am always happy with the outcome of the cons but I've seen a decline in quality of activities and programming over the last few years and it's frustrating because I can see how it could be so much better, and with little effort..
