We handed off BlockoWorld to Munkey, the hoster of BlockoCon, because I am planning on doing many many things after. We hoped to make this a good BlockoWorld, but sadly that wasn't fulfilled. Though I would like to mention a few things.
Why these things are hard to host.
The first thing is getting the server ready. You don't know how everything will go from day 1. As soon as users are allowed to do anything, it's going to become a nightmare. You don't know how much effort people put in to these things. Comblock went through two booths, but it looks like complete crap. Pecon7 wins the award from me, "Best booth after x amount of retries." They tried 3 other times but couldn't get it right. It was getting to my nerves but his booth came out nice later on. ARES won the award from us, "Being loving on time." They were done on before the July 21st opening date. If more people took it seriously like ARES, we wouldn't have a lot of problems like right now. I had alot to say about next year, but really the stress killed it away and I do not want to host another BlockoWorld next year. It was a great 4 years with BlockoWorld, and I'll still help out with the newly run BlockoWorld next year.
For booth holders, thanks for submitting, we appreciate the help. Thank you all for coming last night (except the starfishs who exploited the duplicator), locking the thread.
