An interesting point. Has the time come to heal the rift by opening the Qexpo to a wider selection of games, or do we keep the faith and make it a celebration of all things Q1.
Personally, I dont play Q2, and I don't really know all that much about the q2 modding scene. Is is bigger or smaller than us? If it's significantly larger then I'd probably be against inclusion in the Qexpo, as I'd personally like to keep Q1 as the main focus. However, if it's only small, or it looks like we're only gonna end up with a very small number of booths due to the atrition that has taken place over the years, perhaps we should open our borders.
Qexpo 2003 was significantly smaller than 2001. 2005 will certainly be smaller again. Maybe allowing Q2 in would boost the numbers and make it more exciting, or maybe it'll swamp us. I really don't know.
Since many modern Q1 engines allow md2 models etc, the border between the two games is thinner than ever.
Allowing Q2 in might be a good thing, as it would make Qexpo a bigger event, and wouldn't really interfere with those of us who don't play Q2, as noone is forcing us to visit every booth.
However, it would mean we'd need some Q2 people on the organising team, for organising the speed events or whatever.
It's a real tricky one this, I'm torn between keeping the faith and making the Qexpo bigger.
Is allowing Q2 in selling out?

I'm for allowing the Q2 community in, from what I've seen the two communities are about equal in activity.
Another reason why is that if both communities have booths, it might result in getting more of the die hards of either game to try something from the other game. This could result in another active modder for either game, so both communities have a chance to gain from this.

That's actually a good idea. The expo is for both Quakes this year, and then Quake1 has its personal expo on the 10th anniversary.
How does everyone else feel about that?
