So glad I stumbled upon this thread. I hadn't been on the site in ages, and the thread popped up in a search I was doing for this years AX AMV finalist videos.
Imagine my surprise when I showed up to this years contest only for Troy not to be the one who showed up on stage, and then the mentioning of a new team, and I knew something was wrong. After reading through this thread, I'm really disheartened. Half the fun of the contest, and the AMV room especially was you guys. But, I guess I'm also not surprised. I've been going to AX since '09, so long enough to hear whisperings about some of the shitshow stuff that goes on behind the scenes. And, not the first time I heard about AX higher ups doing staff wrong, especially AMV staff, but I didn't know all of the particulars, so thank you @Rider4Z for your earlier post. And if you don't mind me asking, was Michael a kind of burly heavy set guy with a salt and pepper beard and hair? I remember someone like that hosting in either '10 or '11. If he is who I'm thinking of that really f'ing sucks, and I hope he's doing alright now.
To the past coordinators, and staff, much has already been said, but thank you, thank you, thank you! Hopefully, one year I can make it up to SakuraCon while you're still hosting that one.
