by Empress Gina the 1stThe Great Spambot Purge
Greetings!
Recently, I took it upon myself to purge all of the spambots from the forums with my almighty banhammer. Being ever so cautious, I want to make sure that I did not in fact take out any innocents with this purge. Therefore, if you find that you have been deleted and/or banned and are not in fact a spambot, please use one of the contact e-mail addresses on this site to let us know and we'll get you unbanned so you can re-register.
Thanks!

by VanderbleekThank you Everyone!
I just want to say thank you to everyone who came and made Omnicon 2011 the best con I've ever been a part of. You all made it joy to run, and I had a blast--and from the surveys we've been getting back "having a blast" would be an understatement for most of you.
I would like to say a few more personal thank you's: thank you to our guests, Douglas Walker, Scott Christian Sava, Dr. Brent Allison, and Kerry Maffeo. I know I enjoyed talking with them, and I hope everyone who wanted to got a picture made or something signed.
Thank you to our artists and vendors: Yuki Pearl and Jade Trading Co., MountTop Comics, Curio and Arena Leather, You've Got Maille, Back to Earth Creations, and Matt Knieling. Everyone brought awesome wares, and I was blown away by the amount of artistic talent we had in the MOR this weekend.
Thank you to our volunteers, red badges or otherwise. Without you we couldn't have done this. Setup and teardown was a breeze, and you made the rest of the con flow nice and smooth.
And last (but CERTAINLY not least) a HUGE thank you to our attendees--you guys make a con a con, and this past weekend you made Omnicon THE con to be at.
We will let you know when next year's is going to happen, so stay tuned!
--Drewes van der Bleek, Conchair
