We wanted people excited and wanting to be a part of it. That was simply not the case. Things got out of hand quickly. After talking to Kevin, I feel that it is slightly immature to lock this thread even after how out of control it was. Which I will full well take the blame for that idea. After all I suggested to Kevin that we lock the thread. After a cool down I would like to apologize to the following:
-Arteen: You're right, we don't have much to show off, and maybe that is a mistake.
In My defense, I feel that opening this up to Modacity was going to provide us some insight in to what the community would want. In no way did I expect the community to not want this at all.
-Teh Lag: You're right, you caught me. I can be hypocritical at times. I'm sorry for that.
-Everyone Else: You should have the right to say what you want. Feel free. As stated by Lag, I did make a post where I went on a rant about how the community was falling apart because of all the fighting over the dumbest things. But I guess that's why we have the freedom of speech.
You can say whatever you want, with little argument I hope. But know this. We will press forward. If few of you don't want to be a part of this, that's fine. It's your choice. But Modacity is only so much. We would love to have your support, but we understand financial difficulties, and frankly the majority of the age groups can't even do things on there own without their parents permission (Myself included until February 2010 lol). We would like to move up, and try to make this a reality. We would very much so also like your input. Ideas of how to pull this off would be the best.
To Modacity, we're sorry, keep it clean, and hopefully we can move past this hiccup in the day.
Thank You,
BobtheGreatII :-3
Unlocking this on the request of some of the committee. If I see even one negative post after this, I'm locking it again.Quote:

Locking this thread does not keep positive influences from Modacity out of the project, so I don't see how it matters. Those who have shown an interest will be kept in the loop if this thread gets locked again. I wanted help from Modacity, and if Modacity doesn't want to help then so be it.Quote:

Abey and company are right in thinking that it is definitely possible to get enough momentum behind this thing to get a workable "convention" going by 2010, but Lag and crowd are absolutely correct that it's not gonna come out of nowhere.
The next step is to prepare a proposal before going to potential sponsors. Somebody or a group of somebodys needs to prepare some sort of document outlining ideas for the event, how it can be advertised, why people will want to come, what potential benefits it has. If you just go straight to potential sponsors and say "Let's do a convention together!" they're likely to pretty much ignore you, I expect.
I've got a tiny bit of experience with writing this sort of document, so I might contribute tomorrow. No promises, though; I may have to work late and then Warehouse 13 is on tomorrow.
You're right. And also, lol, we have time. :realsmug:Quote:

I agree Rob, and I could probably contribute some writing skills for the proposal, if it's needed.
Nice to see a more stable conversation going on. :)
