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 3/4 Was this made last week?

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.

A video of the Friday night dance at GSFTW/GFYS showed about a dozen people. I think this post names the entire remaining menu of wares in the dealers den - and I know one of these things won't be back tomorrow. Nighty night.

Oh yeah if you made the mistake of going to GSFTW... x.com/furgeddabout...

Eyewitness report from GSFTW today

I'm not gonna repost a video of Furg but I saw they are thriving. Happy crowds, active dealer den and stage. If you're not there, don't suffer at the ghost town, cut the losses and go have fun. @furgeddaboutit.org

Following up on one guest at the con who was in a screenshot yesterday. It's very helpful to read statements like this! No ill will is intended to people who have been involved with this con and have a change of heart. The more they speak up the more I like them. bsky.app/profile/twis...

I put money where my mouth is and am personally funding someone who spent to go to the con and then got help to move to a different event.

Let me show you something. GSFTW's downfall came from bending over backwards to accommodate nazifur friends of the owner. They flip-flopped so many times about keeping nazis out or not, it was like playing peekaboo. It even burned their PR tool Sotalo. bsky.app/profile/dogp...

I'm so proud of everyone who made this happen.

The GSFTW PR guy hasn't posted for 2 days during the con, after spiraling conflict over his lying in the week before the con. bsky.app/profile/silv...

These are the most joyful posts about GSFTW I could find on last day of the con. This person posted zero photos with other people in them.
