It also probably costs 20 human souls to rent out for a day.

this sounds too ambitious :l

We could always go through the banlist...

Are you seriously out of your mind? Like, seriously. I am going to PAX at the beginning of September, and you know how much it's going to cost me?

Almost $900, for hotel for 4 nights, my airfare, my ticket, and a rental car.

So you want us modders to what, pack up our PC's? Like, strip all the components down from our rigs, pack them and pay extra for them in suitcases, and then get strip-searched when security asks us wtf we have "components that look like they could be assembled to make an explosive device". :gonk:

And you want us to pay for a booth? I get the fact that tables are expensive these days, but if you want us there, charge a mf'ing entry fee, don't sap more money of us who already paid nearly $1,000 to get to the freaking convention in the first place.

I don't think moddb is going to support you, they have more important things to do. Halo CE is the only truly active community on our forums, and you assume that is really going to bring a crowd? I've taken dumps that could muster up more common sense than that logic.

I'm sorry, but this idea is really really ignorant and would never EVER ever EVER get off the ground.

The only way I'd be going was if it was here and and right before/after the ESRI international conference, as I go there every year. Though DC may be a possibility.

I hope this event pulls through :neckbeard:

Well, fuck, should not have invited you. We're not made of money, this is the first time for the event, you don't carry you're computer with you - you get it shipped, and yes, I expect you to pay for a booth if you're going to be using a booth. That's how conventions work.

DC's looking like our best bet at the moment.

Seraphim is right. If this were to happen we would need to latch onto a bigger event really.

+rep (when i can :]) for having a brain.

as blunt and mean as this may sound, I suggest you give this up now to save embarrassment... however, you could try something on a MUCH smaller scale. this would do nothing but drain pockets and not be cost-effective unless u were bent on meeting people over the internet. sorry bacon but you must literally have some screws loose atm.
