In principle, I agree with you.
However, the precipitating event here is the poor accommodations at the HARA
arena. I doubt we were going to get much foot traffic stopping by when the
room is standing room only, 120 degrees, and a pile of people blocking the door
trying to look in.
Had we had the old large room, such as it was, I would have preferred to have
left it there.

Well, moving to the CP is great as far as comfort and seating! I only care
to spend half a day walking around at Hara anyway! But.... the downside I see
is missing the casual attendees that might just happen to walk in and listen
to the contest forum and decide.. "Hey this sounds like fun, I'm going to give
it a try". The CP group is the mainstream of contesting. Getting a guy to
come over to the CP that is not staying there to hear a forum he doesn't really
know if he cares for is about a chance in hell. Personally, I love it being
in the CP... but I guess if you look at it as a chance to recruit new
players, it is probably a bad move..
just my take...
