Yeah, single digit numbers are not so impressive as far as petitions go. :)

Especially when the convention has what, 10000+ attendees? 15000?

I remember seeing it at some point, looking at the list, laughing, and then closing the window.

Yeah, making the petition known is key. But seeing as they only got 9 signatures, perhaps it was wise to not bring it to the attention of anyone involved with running things, as it only serves to show that the cap was the right/smart thing to do.

Also: "If you also agree that this is unfair change, please sign this petition." Please feel free to try running the skit contest your own damn self.

Too harsh?
