Update on COGS and VF

The following has been brought to my attention:


COGS is in talks with the Radisson in Piscataway to run an event next May. In my opinion: good on them. I heard nothing bad or sketchy about COGS Expo. 

Meanwhile... Vampire Freaks is planning to run SteampunkCon at the Radisson in Piscataway in June. http://archive.li/wCLzF 
From their FAQs, it is clear they at least copy-pasted from Steampunk World's Faire:


I'm confused. Vampire Freaks is known for their darker themes. They have never had anything to do with Steampunk. 

VF's response on a Facebook question is as follows: 

Thanks for accepting me as a friend!    And thanks for pointing out our FAQ error I will fix it when I am home.  
So it's common knowledge that the first Dark Side was in collaboration with Jeff Mach and we did work with his team to write our FAQ based on theirs but with our own adjustments.  As is also common knowledge Jeff has not been involved with Dark Side since we severed ties with him after the allegations.     So yeah this must be a remnant from the original Dark Side FAQ that we based our new FAQ on.   Sorry for the confusion!   I'm very open and transparent so if you have any other questions / concerns I'm always happy to talk about it!

Take that as you wish, all. I hope for the best.
