This year's StellarCon had a HUGE "that guy" problem, that I haven't particularly noticed at past Stellars. Don't know why, and I hope it doesn't persist.
And yeah, since they're run by SF Cubed, UNC-G's student-run sf club, they're always getting an influx of new blood. OTOH, they've done pretty well at chasing off the old guard StellarCon folks, and institutional memory is a real problem in those types of situations. When you piss off the people who did something, and did it well, for several years, you've lost all that expertise and are left reinventing the wheel.
