what is up with eternal members registration

[tchouli.livejournal.com]

Why did this year's eternal member registration start 30 minutes to 1 hour after onsite and other registrations had already opened.? I  was under the impression that eternals are considered VIPs. Granted our line was not long; but, it is kind of sad that onsite registration opened before the eternal registration line did. This meant that people just walking in off the street were done before our door was even open.

This will be the 3rd year in a row that something has gone wrong in the eternal registration line whether it was computer problems or a delay in registration or other issues.

So basically what i am askin is just what is the benefit of being an eternal????

there were regular con attendees from onsite that came over to our line who had their badges.

You probably saw me. :) I waited in the pre-reg line while my friend waited in the Eternal/Guest/whatever line. My line was let in about 2pm. (That was a hoot walking through the maze, by the way. Everyone was laughing. Fun times.) After I got my badge, I went to the Eternal/Guest/whatever line to find my friend, and she hadn't been let in yet. So yeah.
