Night Mare Nights to close its doors after one final con. Go

>>30743617
I wonder why is it closing?
Are brownie conventions not pulling enough people anymore?

>>30743635
Officially its because the chair is moving states and doesn't want to pass it on.
Unofficially, its been dropping in attendees just like the rest of them.
They barely broke even last con and since they aren't on contact like Bronycon, they're cutting out while they're ahead.

Well that's selfish and stupid. I guess it's better to go out with dignity though. I'm excited to meet Faust this year.

I do find it funny that one of the smaller cons has better guests than the 'biggest' con.
Lauren Faust and Larson together alone makes the trip worth it.

How BC thought they could get away without any guests is an amazement.

>>30743617
GOD FUCKING DAMN IT

>>30743617

Bummer. This was arguably the best con.

>>30743617
Now where will I go to party? It's a days drive from me, but it is the closest one! How? HOW?

>>30743617
>First con Jay Fosgitt is invited to formally
>Con is last con

Really gets that brain meat a going.

>>30743617
Things may come, and things may go, some go fast and some go slow, few things last, that's all i know...

>>30743948
oh, c'mon! This shit hit way harder than it had any right to... fuck, now i'm depressed.

>>30743748
Yeah, It's really getting hard not to doom say these days.
Bronycon is down 3000 guests. Many of the smaller ones are closing for good.

I'm really starting to get worried. I don't think think the fandom is dying.
But the golden days are about to turn bronze.

>>30743992
no fandom lasts forever. That's why, instead of being on constant wars over shit, we should try to not fall apart en these dark times.

>>30743992
It's not that I think the numbers were 'inflated' per se, but that a lot of the people who went to the 'big ones' were band wagoners who have since jumped ship to whatever is big now.

The fandom isn't 'shrinking', it's 'settling.'

But sadly the numbers it's settling to may not be enough to justify its own convention.

Here's hoping that Bronycon 2018 gets a lot of celebs and a huge attendance.

The date they chose may help this year. It isn't near any 'big' con like the last two were.
And it's before school lets back in (for collegers)

If they can get some ACTUAL fucking talent then I think they'll be fine.

And if they aren't. If they all have this going for them and they STILL fail, then we will truly know if the fandom can support itself.

I really believe 2018 will be a make it or break it year for BC.

Last year was my first Bronycon (and first pony con in general) and it was amazing seeing all the Mane 6 VAs. While I wasn't exactly in a position to go, seeing the lack of VAs this time around (and no Larson) really cemented in my decision not to go, changing it from a solid "maybe."

I'm also sure that at the very least, the vendor hall will be full as always. I'm not saying "good riddance" or "you're replaceable" to any vendors who said that this was their last Bronycon, but I always hear stories about people getting edged out for BC spots.

>>30744183
This year, they combined the art show and stuff. This was space normally reserved for vendors.
By technical definition, there were literally just less vendors than the previous two years.

If its true that vendors were pushed out, it was BC doing the pushing. And that's just bad management.

But I really don't see someone being that inept to think denying vendors is a good idea.
That's why I'm skeptical over that claim.
