I already gave them a phone call to put in my official complaint. I'm done with Joecon, I'm done with the club. This was the last time. I rearrange my schedules this week and last week to be ready for the minutes or so I would have to get my registration ready and there's a one hour notice that goes up on facebook. No pre-warning on e-mail, didn't even get the e-mail til after registration had already sold out the golden package. You jerk around people for two weeks with registration coming soon, it's gonna be tomorrow, oops no it's not, next week sometime. So when it's finally up, you can't give a 24 hour notice? It was even requested by multiple people that you do so.
I love going to con and hanging out with my friends, and I generally love the con product, but I can't support this organization anymore. We bitch and we bitch about this stuff, and if we never actually do anything about it, what does that say to them? They'll keep throwing their money at us no matter what happens. This isn't a spur of the moment thing, it's been building up for a while now. I've been going to con for 10 years now, and Ive had it with every year something being a problem, and a major one at that. Just yesterday I was thinking why I put myself through the hassle each year. and today nailed it. I'm done with the hassle, and I'm done with the unprofessional way they put together almost everything they do. I'll show up to Indy to drop off the JoeDeclassified equipment for their booth, but that'll be it. There are other joecons out there that are a hell of a lot more fun and more relaxed that I can go to that I don't need to worry about this crap anymore. So I'm selling every club product I own which is essentially everything they've ever made. It'll most likely pay my travel costs to go to the next 5 or 6 Canada Con, Coil Con and Iowa Joe Meets. Hell I might as well use the cash to go the next Roll Out Roll Call too. The point of this isn't to be like woe is me I can't get a golden ticket. It's my solid complaint to the GIJoe Club letting them know they lost a faithful customer of the last decade who bought nearly everything they put out. I've most likely spent $10,000 on their cons and their product. The only thing I would like to see happen from this is they get their heads out of their asses and change the way they run shows for the better for the rest of the community because they're losing business. I'm not saying I'm the community, I'm just one guy who's done with the nonsense and would like them to stop messing around with the people who still go.

If you sell your 2011 JoeCon set, I would be interested. Sorry you had such a bad experience again!

This is not a for sale thread. Don't be pm'ing me about items you want to buy, that wasn't what I was trying to get across. I also just realized I put this in the wrong sub-forum, should probably be in general or something like that, please move if needed. Last edited by Roshan; 02-06-2013 at 04:55 PM.. |

Sorry to hear that, Roshan. <: ( I would like to see things change as well and hope your needs are met in other ways or venues, as you suggested.

Please stop talking. The amount of insider information that you have is exactly zero.
Know how I know this? Because you posted a declassified flyer which was meant for fun as a NEWS ITEM. No one would ever tell you anything because the VERY FIRST THING you would do is post it here. Probably incorrectly. |

Sometimes the best thing to do is to let go.

Geez, at least wait for the chair to cool before asking for stuff from his desk. Holy cow...
Josh, I am sincerely sorry. On the bright side I am very happy that I will still get to see you at the other shows and am thrilled I may be joining you in the UK. Take care and if you want to shoot the bull, give me a call anytime.

Well it's a little late this year to make plans for 2013, but definitely next year. It's been too many years since I've been to Europe.

I've had my travails with the Club, as have many if not most, and I have expressed your sentiment as well - I just want them to get better. I guess I have just not gotten to your place yet.

While I won't take the same action as you, I agree with where you are coming from 100%.
i requested on Facebook, via email, and using there feedback/survey last yesr to incorporate better awareness to give customers 24 hours notice as to when registration happens. There is no good reason for why they can't do that. |
