Anthropomorphic Arts and Education director David Cooksey said that the board is aware that the con is outgrowing the DoubleTree and is looking at all the possibilities for the future.

Executive staff
In keeping with the tradition that the chairman of the con is replaced yearly, Anthropomorphic Arts and Education opened bids for 2008 with application deadlines in December 2006. Bos'n C Otter was selected as the 2008 chair and in turn made an open call for a theming executive. The vice-chair was Melchar.

Second Life
This year, Further Confusion maintained a presence in Second Life with the Further Confusion ClubHouse ( teleport ) in Critter Valley. As appropriate for the event's theme, the ClubHouse featured a Japanese garden and a large pagoda, with ten stepping stones illustrating the convention's ten different yearly logos. Free virtual t-shirts from 2005-2008 were available inside.
