I absolutely HATE /b/ and the mentality of it

can't blame you there. especially since those fags at last year's panel, um, "rickrolled" everyone in their guy fawkes masks, i wouldn't want to risk witnessing something that amazingly gay ever again.

i guess this is a toast to dyi 06 and 07 then. at least 07 is still on youtube for future generations to witness.

and yeah, i totally wouldn't mind hanging with you or anyone else who made dyi great in years past. maybe sometime late on saturday/sunday night.

necropost, but whatever.

it would kill me if there was no dyi at fanime this year. this shit has been the highlight of fanime for me since 06 back when it was three people yelling stupid memes (myself included) and some guy typing unfunny crap on wordpad.

though i guess i'd understand if you guys didn't want to risk running a crap panel like last year, i'd still love to at least hang with you guys for a bit. you fuckers are the biggest reason i return to fanime year after year, and it just wouldn't be the same without you guys (full homo, all the way- especially that stud stu). i mean, what else do you expect me to do- go to the gaia panel/masquerade?

though i fully expect pyron to reply with a care post and say there won't be a dyi this year anyways, i just thought you guys should know that in spite of the shitfest that was dyi 08 i still appreciate everything you've done for the con. you guys have made fanime worth going to (for me) and if dyi is no more, i won't bother with fanime after this year. there's plenty to do at fanime, but without the centerpiece that is dyi, it's nothing that i couldn't do elsewhere.

I've been going to Fanime since 06, and I have to say, almost all of the money I've spent at the con has been at either the swap meet or the arcade.

Seriously, the dealers room has always been the low point of Fanime for me. I usually don't find anything of interest and on the rare occasion I do find something it's outrageously expensive. I know Naruto headbands sell, but does every single dealer have to sell almost exclusively headbands and figurines and trinkets? I rarely ever see any artbooks (of interest) or rare video games/video game accessories. Most of the stuff I find in the dealers room is stuff you can quite frankly find anywhere online, and usually for a lot less than what they're charging.

The only suggestion I can really offer is to just make better choices on what dealers show up. I'd personally love to have some classic import game booth selling rare PC Engine/Mega Drive/Famicom games.

Oh, and, something else you may want to tell the dealers to bring; arcade sticks. SF4 and BlazBlue are both in high demand and most people getting those games are going to want sticks to play them on.
