The name was changed I believe for the fact that it sounded very similar to another convention called Otakcon. Also I am Kunicon Staff my job there is as video coordinator. But I do really much more than that.

Haha, Kunicon did have horrible security for the FTP which is why the one for Atlanta I took control of it. But also a hacker is not someone who shuts down your website. A hacker is someone who breaks into a computer system. Those are two completely different thing's from a ISP knocking down a site and another of lack of security.

By the way I was in charge of the AMV contests now with Kunicon so if there is any trouble with the contests you guys come and bash me. But I was able to fix the contest at the last moment for Atlanta which had a good showing. It was small just to regain the confidence of you guys back in us. To show you that we can run a contest correctly. Then when we get more submissions we can provide more competition and better judging.

ah arigato, but kunicon has to apalogies, it was'nt like most people expected, the dealer room for examply, alot of vendors, but too much space, the viewing room, alot of technicial problems, and as for the amv contest, they should've done what most cons do and NOT let bumpers in them, alos it got boring when they showed the amvs with the same anime in order

Yes and I think they did on there forum, But I was not incharge and I as just there at the convention like a fan goer. So I cannot answer you there.
While I do know the whole story on how Kunicon Miami was a mess. Indeed it was but let's not go there. I already setted up a few systems to improve those sectors you mentioned and you would have no reason why not to come back for more. Also I did not allow bumpers in Atlanta. So if anyone did go to the Atlanta AMV they can tell you that. Also about the same Anime in order I would scramble it then for ya. I would keep that in mind.
