Is the website launch problem really technical related or is it due to lack of (good) announcements?

not bringing up a website for not having any good announcements is a pretty bad reason for not having it up....Its most def technical reasons.

I would like to hear more of what execs are doing right now. I wonder if the convention would reach close to the same number of attendance this year as last year, because as of now, the convention is only promoted through social media and habit of the regulars. Without an actual website with new information, it's almost certain that everything promoted is through word of mouth.

What do you know. Just as I'm reading this forum, I get a text with a twitter post with multiple guest announcements. Looks like the site has moved away from the placeholder image too. THANKS FOR GETTING THIS UP! Seriously!!

So for future reference, "soon" means 5 weeks. Got it.

Is there a link on the website to the forums? I can't find one. the "Community" tab is probably a good place to put it. And links to the Gatherings and Panels events should just go to the forums where all the info has been for months.

I must say...great design!

And AMAZING MusicFest headlining act.  This may make me want to get a one-day pass...

Link to the reg FAQ is broken when you try to navigate from the guests of honor page: http://www.fanime.com/guests-of-honor/registration-faq

Edit: Yeah, broken whenever you try to get to it from anything but the main page.

Yeah it's really sleek!
Still doesn't excuse the waiting time, but I'm impressed with the final product - and it looks like it'd be very transportable for next year's site as well

I have to say the site is very beautifully done, and the mobile version runs seamlessly.  Granted that doesn't excuse how long it took to get the final product, but at least now it's up and looks great!

Specifically it is the Registration FAQ link located in the footer area under the "new to fanimecon" section. The link direct to http://www.fanime.com/currentpage/registration-faq
so whatever comes after fanime.com/ changes depending on what page you view it from.

The web team should start working on the 2015 site now and put it up May 27th.
