Talk:KoL Con
I realize this is more of a stub than an article at this point. I put in all the helpful information I could find, but it is surprisingly diffifult to track down KolCon info about the past events. The forum doesn't seem to have much to offer, and most of my Google searches came up with nothing. If you went to either of these, pretty please take a moment and flesh out the stub! --DataVortex 18:52, 22 June 2006 (CDT)
Would anyone be opposed to me moving this article to KoL Con? (Notice the space.) Although it is true that both KoLCon and KoL Con are used to refer to the event, this article, aside from the first two paragraphs, only uses the latter. Plus, if you take a look at the official announcement forum threads from the past few years, only the name KoL Con is used. --Oneforfortytwo 01:53, 17 October 2011 (CEST)
I'm considering doing an update to the layout of the sections to improve readability, and because I was bored at work this afternoon. The rough draft of what I have in mind is on my user page, and while it needs lots of polish, it's basically there. Does anyone have any strong opinions on the current free-form layout? --Chyld (talk) 17:21, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
- Alternatively, I just went ahead and rolled it out. Looks much better IMHO, although the Cons that nobody wrote any original content for are very sore-thumb right now. I've also (without labelling the edit, because I am a numpty) added two sections at the top, geared for new Con attendees. --Chyld (talk) 12:58, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
esoteric
- two of the photo collections for Con 2 are password protected. is it worth linking to something that no one can see? --Evilkolbot (talk) 13:15, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- It might be worth seperating out ones you can't access, I'll agree. I'm considering a sizeable change to the layout of the sections though (see above), so it might be worth holding off for now. --Chyld (talk) 17:21, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
- Follow-up: Deleted the locked photo albums from Cons 2 and 3. Much better! -Chyld (talk) 11:49, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
in-jokes blow from the outside
- is the "Souviner" mentioned throughout an in-joke, or just a copy-pasted error? --Evilkolbot (talk) 13:27, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
- I mean stuff like the 3D glasses, Seven Loco, etc, the display-case fodder item you get for going. Can't really call them Con items any more, because of the $20 ones. The spelling is because I can't spell "souvenir". Trust me, the in-jokes I've left in there are way less prevalent and well-explained than one misspelling. --Chyld (talk) 14:15, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
- good to know. I didn't want to wade in with "this is wrong" just in case. "fites" etc. --Evilkolbot (talk) 17:30, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks to the Merch Table in The Time-Twitching Tower, I think we know that the next item is the KoL Con 13 snowglobe. --Baltar (talk) 05:20, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
