Do more with badges.
It's a neat idea. I'd like to see other people's badges and for people to be able to see mine.

Badges are now “pins” (so nobody confuses them with convention badges) and we will be adding more very soon…as well as a way for people to view yours.

Create graphical representation for con statistics year over year.
I'd like to see year-over-year data for cons you have information on (attendance figures, price, dates, guests) represented in some sort of graphical form. The most obvious use is for modeling con growth over time, comparing growth rates, dips, etc. and modeling the data on multiple cons based on geographic location and time. I think this functionality would provide an interesting look into the evolution of cons in different areas of the country / around the world and possibly show how dates and competition effect growth rates.

We will do this. An excellent idea that’s now on the plan.

Let me upload pics of my costumes and pick which cons I'm wearing them at
I know a few other sites do this, but it would be nice to have a place to upload them that doesn't charge for it and has a full list of cons

Create written guides on how to start and run a convention
The written guides could cover various aspects of starting a convention and expand from there to cover topics related to running a convention. It could cover topics such as guests, programming, facilities, and more.

This is totally in the works. I’ve done a panel on how to start/run a convention a handful of times, so I already have the material. I just need to take it out of presentation form and put it into readable form.

Voice Actor's Birthday
I suggest that when its a birthday of a voice actress/actor, artist, etc, it should appear on the main page of AnimeCons.com
For Example, today its Rachael Lillis' Birthday ^_^ So could her birthday wishes be on the main page?6 votesunder review ·AdminPatrick Delahanty

This might be something we’d consider adding if more people want it.

Add search box
Add a search box to the main page. Either Google/Bing/Blekko/etc... This way people could find content quicker.

Have a convention organizer section
I'd like to see a section, accessible only to convention heads using the official convention Email address, where con heads can detail their experiences with Guests. This would allow us to determine whether or not a particular Guest may suitable, or if we should avoid them for being a drama queen.

Believe it or not, this is actually something which has been on the drawing board for a while. We hope to add it in the next few months since there are a number of other new features for convention organizers which are dependent on this section being done first.

Provide us with link images
Make a page with images of various sizes that we can add to our convention web sites or blogs to link to AnimeCons.com.

Podcast suggestion
I'd like to see the topic of Con burnout on an upcoming episode of the podcast. I've been recently having doubts of my home con and don't know if I should rethink my approach or just give up entirely.

I’m not sure what there is to say about con burnout. We’ll have to give it some thought and see if we can come up with any ideas on how to overcome it. However, people get con burnout for different reasons so the solutions may depend on the reasons you’re burned out in the first place.

Update Animecons
Would like to see newer cons that are trying to get up on the board. Thanks
1 vote“newer cons”? I don’t understand what you’re looking for. New conventions can be submitted here: http://animecons.com/events/submit.shtml After the information is verified, they’re listed on the site.

Add ability to view guests whose names do not start with a letter
You can currently view guests whose names start with the letters A through Z. There is no way to view a list of guests whose names start with numbers or other characters.
