It's also probably worth noting that it's too late for any changes to take effect for 2011, but there's no reason not to start lobbying for change in 2012.
I'll confess, the reason I don't volunteer is because my time is too valuable for what they ask and what they give. I'd rather pay half the ticket price (bought on site the previous year) and enjoy myself. (Seriously, if memory serves, first time volunteers *still* have to buy a badge, just at a reduced rate. For reals???)
But a revamped system that either didn't ask for as much of a commitment, and/or offered some sort of compensation would be something I would seriously consider.
