I need to take responsibility for this website not doing so well&nbsp, – I haven',t had the time to put in the necessary work to properly get it off the ground – I still hope to some day, I have high hopes for the site and I stand behind my reason for creating it, unfortunately, I have to earn a living too and have several other non-paying projects going as well.

If you have any ideas about promoting the site (very limited budget so advertising really isn',t an option for now) then feel free to let me know.

I',m also still hoping to transfer the main site over to another system, Joomla stink bigtime so I need to find an alternative that will let me do all the things I want.

I choose joomla in the beginning because it had a good calendar add-on and as conventions and events are a main part of the purpose of the site I saw it as a good &quot,selling point&quot, when choosing what system to use.&nbsp, Unfortunately it',s been one issue after another and I',ve decided that using Joomla was definitely a mistake.&nbsp, But changing it over takes time and I haven',t had the time to dedicate to the task yet.

Just to let you know (I',ll post this over in the &quot,Refunds&quot, section too….) we heard from our Credit Card today that our dispute claim has been finalized and that we have permanently regained the money paid directly to FedConUSA.&nbsp, Now, I don',t think this was a &quot,refund&quot, from FedConUSA, but just our Credit Card settling our dispute in our favor.&nbsp, Either way, we have our money back.

Ok, so I am seeing a distinct curse for anything remotely connected with FedconUSA.&nbsp, The ovious first is the con itself.&nbsp, Second, this board has not been doing so well and I don',t know why.&nbsp, Hubby and I both posted lots in hopes of getting others to join in, but it seems it just wasn',t enough and this poor forum is floundering.&nbsp, After seeing very few new posts, we even stopped visiting for awhile.

The last is very sad.&nbsp, I had not stopped by Vadercast for awhile because Tim had posted he was taking an extended vacation.&nbsp, So, I cruise on through and WHAT?&nbsp, WHAT? No more Vadercast?&nbsp, With both this board and Vadercast floundering how are we to ever know whether Tim Brazeal will pay us back&gt,&nbsp, Who will keep the heat on?&nbsp, Is this all just an overflow of the great cosmic curse that was FedconUSA?&nbsp, Is it never to be mentioned again for fear of what will happen in the cosmos?

So come on people, it is too late to save Vadercast, but start posting here at this awesome site and mabe we can overcome the curse and have somewhere EVERYONE will come to to check in on Tim',s promises and whether that money ever comes back.

Vadercast is gone?? Whoa! I'm glad I downloaded some of the interviews. I really appreciated what they did and hoped to see more from them.  I'm currently changing websites myself, and will certainly mention Inquisition and link to you as well.

Good luck with your efforts – I hope you get somewhere.

Unfortuantely, chances are that Brazeal has gone into hiding, there are no doubt plenty of peopel chasing him for money. 

FedCon Germany ceased their association with FedCon USA well before the convention acutally took place so it's not surprising they can't/don't want to help you out… 

I know that at least some people have successfully claimed refunds through their credit card company – did you try going down that road?

Here's the contact details from the FedCon USA website – have you tried these

Thank you so much!  Yes, I filed claims with paypay and my creditcard, PayPay ruled in my favor but because there was no funds in FedCon's account they couldn't refund my money.  My credit card was beyond the date to file a claim so I was outta luck

Anyway, wish me luck~ I am fully prepared to take it to Judge Judy!!
