Wow...personally, I've always felt lost running an AMV contest, and luckily, I've had some TREMENDOUS help in the tech area, but I remember staying up all night the night before making sure all the videos played okay...I still had a couple of snags, but it was my first con, and I've learned from it...but these guys make me feel like a seasoned pro!
I've heard many complaints about kunicon...aren't these the same guys that tried to play on Otakon's following by originally naming their con "Otakucon"...bah...strictly for profit cons never work...

I know what you mean about feeling like a pro compared to these guys. We had complete audio equipment breakdown for the replay of the amv contest at Ohayocon (and cried outisde the video room as each one went worse and worse) and it was nothing close to what was described here.
Frankly, I am ashamed as someone who puts effort on making a contest that looks and sounds adequate that these monkeys think they can halfass it and make a few bucks off the deal.
I think the infuriating thing though is they are not learning. They don't seem to care if half the events fall on their face as long as they make their cash.
So I will continue what I have since 2001 and support fun conventions who care about their attendees.

In the end, it's up to us fans if we want to support for profit cons or not...
for me, the definition of a convention is an event organized by fans for fans (an excuse for all of us to get together as we share a common hobby)...
To me, making it something for profit is like us here making our AMVs for profit! Frankly they are now making MONEY of our creations as am AMV contest helkps draw the people and hence why I will NEVER send am AMV into a for profit con....
This is something I suggest be considered
