NCFC 2009 is now over, and we had a great time checking out all the fan games this week! See above for all the fun that was had.
We're proud to present NCFC 2009 to the open! Be sure to check out all the booths and events people have worked on!
Right, so, besides laziness, there is no real reason or excuse we can give you as to why this took so long. We tried to make the process automated, however for certain reasons doing that would've caused us to delay the event, which we did not want to do. Therefore, you can register for a booth or workshop via the email forms we have set up, which you can access by clicking the registration link above. We sincerely appreciate your patience in this matter.
We don't have all of the events ironed out in stone just yet, but we can tell you some things. DJ Yoshiman will once again be returning to DJ and host the NCFC Radio show, something that I'm always personally excited about. In addition to that, ShadowMan has already begun writing questions for the Trivia Night, and I promise you it will be the funnest one yet (trust me, he's made a LOT of questions...) So don't worry, all your favorite events will be returning this year, as well as the possibility of new ones. Be sure and stick around for more developments in this area!
You might notice that we have a considerably less amount of sponsors this year. There is an explanation: The sponsors currently listed are confirmed returning sponsors. We will continue to try and contact old sponsors that we have not been able to get in contact with, as well as seek out new sponsors in the coming weeks. If you feel that your site should be a sponsor for the NCFC, we'll post how you can request it to be shortly.
We are also working to get the other pages up soon, such as the events page and sponsors & affiliates page. You'll find the links to those page active at the top of this website as soon as they are complete. So don't worry, we'll have all of those pages and section up soon!
Our first priority at this moment is to get the booth and workshop registration system up and running. The reason we don't have it available at this time is because we are trying to automate the process significantly, as well as make it more seamless for the user to use. Features will include an administration area for your booth, linking between your forum account, optional template usage, and much more. However, just because you can register booths or workshops at this time doesn't mean you shouldn't start planning on them or working on them! So stay tuned, and we'll let you know the minute things are up and running in that area.
