So the online program book is available now. Its pretty sweet to have a rough idea of what is going on this year. However I'm somewhat sad to see that the Anime Match Game is not making a comeback this year.
I'm not surprised to see that it is gone, while they were both awesome the last two years they were also pretty bootleg, considering some shlub from the audience like me was one of the guest 2 years ago.
Because of work, I won't be able to go on Friday and Sunday, but I look forward to seeing you all on Saturday! The schedule looks pretty good. Looking forward to the Bang Your Head panel. How much have you changed it since last year, Pete?

Changed around some images, expanded some of my points, added a short new section, and I'm in the process of creating my new playlist of properly sized clips. :P
It is, indeed a shitty website. Last year when I was registering as a dealer, I checked out the dealers page. You know what it is? A LINK TO THE FORUMS. They cannot be bothered to update the website, so they post the info in a forum thread. >_<;;;;;
Since there is not a CTCon thread already I'm going to ask here because I'm freaking out. When is Connecticon going to take place this year? Edit: I'm asking here because the shitty website is non-existent at the moment. At least not to me. (I checked on two different computers.)
Where the hells is the schedule? Rym says it's up, but I can't find it for the life of me.
They posted it somewhere in the forum. Doesn't matter: the guest person just demanded a bunch of changes this morning... I'll post an updated one for you guys tonight.

Ah, your learning that as head of Panels, you are a bitch to the guest department.

Next year we will turn it around and make them our bitch, or at least remove their ability to fuck with us. Maybe we'll give them a room or two, and they can schedule their own stuff completely separate from us. More likely we can just force them to have a deadline, and if they fuck up, then they get fucked.
Well, the way it generally works is that the guest side gives the ops side their panel schedule, and the rest of the panels are scheduled around the guest panels. That avoids the last minute thing.
I fucking hate their website. You know what would be more useful? A white page with a list of links that actually leads to some fucking information. CTcon = ARGH! Why don't they just make the forum the sole website for the con?

Would you believe the previous web site was worse? I remember being at CTCon a few years ago complaining about the old site, and some guy was bragging how he was the webmaster and he was going to redo it. At the time I said, oh thank god. If I see that guy, dick punch.

Noooooo bad idea. Just setup fucking WordPress.
This is what I use for all of my websites. WordPress is great, but the problem will remain the same: They do not put any of the information on the actual website. They just post it in the forums.
EDIT: What could be good is to give each staff member who is in charge of an area permissions to update the page related to their own stuff. That way they don't have to wait for the Web Guy to do it for them. That's probably why most stuff is posted in the forums.

Unfortunately, the Guest department is usually higher in the pecking order and guests usually take priority over panelists.

Yeah, they can have priority. They just need to get their shit in order on time, and not do all the work at the last minute. There's no reason it can't all be set in stone well enough in advance.

The guests are the problematic part.
