Did anybody "attend" the virtual Star Trek convention that was recently held online?

(I put "attend" in quotes because, well, you didn't actually attend -- you just pretended to attend while sitting at your computer and using an avatar to represent yourself. )

I thought it was a neat idea until I saw the price tag -- which set tickets at the same prices as a normal live convention (something like $40 for the weekend, if I remember correctly).

So I didn't attend, but I'm really curious what the people who did attend thought of it.

I didn't (mainly because of cost - it's a lot of money to pay only to discover your modem isn't up to it) but I hope they consider a mmorpg because the convention showed there is a definate interest in a virtual trek experiance right?

I didn't either. Even thought I'm on cable, I didn't think it would be worth the price of admission.

Besides, why pay $40 bucks to talk Trek somewhere else when I can come here & do the same for free?
