I think I forgot to say "as" before successful; "as successful in their new home".

As in would have been able to get back over 700 attendees.

FA:United was on my radar about this even before Coronavirus. This is because of a pattern I'm noticing.

It's interesting but when a convention goes down in attendees after getting into the hundreds of attendees (300+), there is a pattern of death within the decade of the first year of decline.

Examples include: Great Lakes Fur Con, Rocket City FurMeet, Conifur Northwest, Fur-st, FA:United, Wild Nights and ConFurence.
Exception to the Pattern: Mephit Furmeet (had decline in 2009, still going and numbers have about evened out)

It's almost frightening how this is the case. But it seems that once you get a mass of people showing up, a decline is a signal that something may have went wrong.
