    Should Defcon 15 be cancelled?

    Every year it is "cancelled" in one way or another. "Defcon is cancelled" falls right under "OMG they killed Kenny!"

    I suggest we post the DC15 status on Craigslist. After the news today, anything can happen!

    Of course it should be cancelled. If it's not cancelled then who knows what kind of people it might attract. Besides, why break that long string of cancelled DefCons.

      I'll tell you want kind of people it would attract: people who carry guns, black t-shirt types, quiet guys (you have to watch them), Feds, nut cases, technophiles, hardware engineers, heavy drinkers, people in Hawaiian shits, and ... OMG! Hackers!

      We can't have that.

          If DEFCON is cancelled, we'll all show up anyway and get into a lot of trouble.
          Maybe we should just have the con anyway and save the hassle.

            Astcell, you must not have gotten that memo that went out about two weeks ago?

            Defcon has been cancelled again this year do to a shortage of staff.

                Either way, the UFO's will be coming back anyway, so if we don't pre-emptively cancel I think we're all in for a good probing.

                  If I were male, I'd be somewhat offended (or at least concerned) at the implication of "staff shortage"

                    I think if we cancel Defcon and show up anyways.... we will get lower room rates!

                            canceled...I would assume it to be canceled.

                              Actually there is not now, and never has been "defcon"- It doesn't exist.
