General Convention Rooming

[Persona]

Hi everyone,

I just want to throw http://www.convention-roommates.com/ out there, a forum that helps people find roommates for any and all conventions that happen in the US and Canada. While I know there is a dedicated thread to that on this and most other con forums, I'd just like to point it out as a viable option, especially as it includes pretty much every large and mid-size con out there and can give everyone a broader range of roommates to choose from. I myself plan to use it in the future when I go to out-of-area cons, so I hope you guys will also find it useful for your rooming needs.

If anyone knows of other people who do not browse the Fanime forums but come from out of the area or out-of-state, please pass this on to them as well.

Neither I nor the forum owner make any money or commissions off of membership, we just want to provide a useful and necessary service to fellow con-goers.

Any questions, please feel free to ask! I didn't see any rules against advertising other websites or forums, but if it's not allowed I do apologize and will delete the topic accordingly.

Hasn't this site been pitched before? I always felt like that site could use quite a bit of work, instead of just using a forum maybe put in more effort.  Maybe at least a display at the front of the site showing how many people from cons looking for roommates or something.

Easier said then done my friend, its very hard to find good help these days. As much as i would love to throw more on there, its beyond my abilities till i get some higher help.
