    One night's payment up front = me not going. It's Christmas and this is over 6 months away. San Diego is a beautiful place, but no thanks. It's too much money especially with the first night's payment taken out immediately.

    Just curious, how is them putting Botcon in San Diego a personal attack on you?

    As far as I know, they handled the CC thing as best they could. Took steps to correct it, and we have all (well not "all" ;) ) moved on.

    Ya he did. And he sang the Funpub praises...after the CC thing... Ya

    Just me, or do the bolded sections contradict each other?

    That'd be why they had a good time. :)

    You are correct in both statements. The way it's run will not change, but the people attending it makes up for it. But location also plays a big role. Even if it grew beyond wha is is now, SDCC has always remained in San Diego for a good reason.

    No no no! Not going back over that again, but no they did not handle it well.

    They eventually did what they had no choice but to do, but it wasnt done well.

    San Diego is a beautiful place and there is a TON of money to be made.

    Of course.... I'm more than a little biased...

    Hell if they put it in Orlando, that would make sense with the ride opening up, but what benefits does San Diego ( Serious Question) offer compared to any other major city.

    Well I didn't lose any money, had to get new cards. Not the end of the world. Them moving Botcon to San Diego more than makes up for the trip to my bank to get new cards and get my money back...lol

    I NEVER sung praises towards funpub, don't you fucking DARE say I did

    no, I had fun because of the people attending, I made a ton of friends, but the convention itself was garbage, If it wasn't for the fact of the friends I spent time with there I would of seriously felt ripped off, I've gone to many conventions, Botcon was the worst run one that i've been to

    its people like you that are gonna allow funpub to continue to screw over fans
