Just a quick update:
There was some last minute rescheduling that delayed the information going on the website. It's been sent and it should go live within a few days.
This year's event will be mostly the same as previous ones, it's a little late in the game now to change format to an Otakuthon style 'garage sale'. However, that is an idea we may re-examine after this event for next year.
And also, I think we'll continue to use these forums. I'm not sure what advantages moving to discord would allow us to do, that we can't do here.

Out of curiosity, is there a particular reason table applications have to start so long after the information is available? It made sense when you were manually combing through emails and replying individually, but now that it's all automated, wouldn't it be best to get it out of the way ASAP so people can begin their preparations?

The application period is limited, so we want to make sure there is enough time for everyone to be aware when it starts and ends.
We also want to allow enough time for anyone to ask questions about the process if needed.
Also, the closer to the event the more likely people are sure they are going, so it is less likely reserved tables are cancelled.
And finally we’ve always had a few weeks to about a month gap between when the information is online and when reservations begin.
However, this year we’ve taken steps to reduce the amount of time between the end of the application period and the results of the lottery. Within a few days people will know if they got a table AND what their table number is, so they can begin posting sales lists sooner than before.

Semi-related question: Once people are selected, can there be a thread for people looking to share a table with someone?

Sure, I'll put one up once the results are ready.

Thank you, that puts my mind at ease somewhat.

Sure, I'll put one up once the results are ready. If you do indeed make a "looking to share a table" thread, perhaps it would be best if you require that posters in that thread give us a good idea of what they're looking to sell in each of their posts, along with how much of the $50 table fee they're willing to pay.

I can easily do that when the time comes, that's a fair enough idea.
