Wow, look at how many dealers will not be at GSFTW that they advertised to paying guests, who are being MIS-SOLD. I counted 4 of 27 absent (just the ones tipped to me), another dropped out yesterday, now this. GSFTW advertised almost 50% more than they actually have. bsky.app/profile/brus...

JSYK, this thread is critical to corrupt management and bad faith defenders. Not average people going (although they should join a boycott), this is not a callout thread. I know some dealers are only attending under duress because GSFTW refused to refund them and they don't want the loss.

With one of those dealers denied a refund, I knew them enough to offer to pay for a table for them at another event, but they didn't read the message. Too bad, because the way the dealer map and panel schedule are full of holes says something about attendance and sales too.

Dealer finds GSFTW so empty they're dropping out on first day. bsky.app/profile/mcpi...

Another followup comment and screen of a lawyer responding to empty threats by the GSFTW PR guy, who wanted to sue people to shut them up. He tucked tail and went silent. bsky.app/profile/bark...

I'm getting reports that GSFTW is a ghost town. I predicted false-front activity 5 days ago, to make the place look more busy than it is, and got more details in private about it actually happening. bsky.app/profile/dogp...

LMAO, there's going to be some incredible reviews and comparisons to alternative events after this weekend. GSFTW, more like GSGFYS from the management. bsky.app/profile/brus...

When this weekend's over and GSFTW management gets to reflect back on the consequences of their actions, let's keep one thing crystal clear. They chose to give a middle finger to the community and all of you who spoke up TO FAVOR A HANDFUL OF POLITICAL FASCISTS WHO ARE PERSONAL FRIENDS OF THE OWNER.

An important and unseen thread just posted on Xitter by Kora, with a new account made just to air grievance about being ripped off by GSFTW. Kora had planned to attend GSFTW since a while ago and is very bitter about it. Thanks to a tipper for sending this. 1/2 x.com/Kora_Protoge...

Grievance thread on Xitter by Kora. 2/2

Response to Kora by @mcpippypants.bsky.social - The community is stepping up with support. Multiple alternate events are reaching out to ripped-off guests of GSFTW and offering better places to go.

My take in DM to the helpful tipper who sent it.

Brace for more bitter and disappointed experiences from people who went to GSFTW, even after being warned. Here's another one who had already got info from me personally in a group that discouraged warnings for being drama.

I got sent these in DM. 10 tables for 8, with 5 of them having a single person sitting alone, all looking at their phones.

A tipper sent a photo of a banner from GSFTW that appears to be AI generated. The wrong hands! The weird melty flower morphing into fur on one side. Half formed ear folds. The distorted faces on tokens with one glued to fur for some reason. The inscrutable table art.

Boy isn't this familiar

Dealers are abandoning GFYS con and going to @furgeddaboutit.org instead, nature is healing bsky.app/profile/mcpi...

Scenes from a ghost town 1/4 I DARE THEM TO SHOW THE AUDIENCE

Scenes from a ghost town 2/4 Was the photo the entire purpose of setting up?

Scenes from a ghost town 4/4 At Backrooms Con, the entire con is the escape room.

Recent posts by Sotalo and nazifurs that they decided not to attend GSFTW are false. They're attending. How dizzy does this flip-flopping make Sotalo? Was that trolling, a fake PR scheme with GSFTW management, or just acting as flaky as everyone running this con has always been?

Keep watching the madness, but I might not post a lot about it tomorrow. Going to a goth fest on a battleship. Thanks so much for reading and sending feedback like this. ❤️ A lot of other people are sharing info too.
