I wish them all the luck. The convention I started at, Duckon, was basically this during much of it's existence. Furries were welcomed in early on and did very well. Some still think furry was 'kicked out' of Duckon. That is not the case. It was simply that we started getting a large enough pecentage of attendees that it was starting to be difficult to provide enough resources to the other groups that made up the convention. The decision to split off was mutual and MFF couldn't have happened without a great deal of support from the Duckon crew for it's first several years.
Insuring none of the included groups get squeezed out may be the biggest challenge for them to manage.
