Well, FUNimation just rick-rolled the country. Had a separate panel days after the previous one with NO new information.

Plus, they give little room for substantive questions:

"that kinda wraps up the panel, we have time for q&A right now
16:08:51 <bay|AX|FUNi> what we can't talk about:
16:08:04 <bay|AX|FUNi> new shows not yet licensed
16:08:07 <bay|AX|FUNi> old shows not yet licensed
16:08:15 <bay|AX|FUNi> new episodes for shows we have already licensed
16:08:20 <bay|AX|FUNi> what shows we are looking to license
16:08:31 <bay|AX|FUNi> what agencies our voice actors use
16:08:35 <bay|AX|FUNi> the dub cast for any shows announced today"

They're going to hose everyone at Otaku, if Lance Heiskell's retweeting of negative comments is any indication.

Unless they actually promised a lot of big announcements, I'd hardly consider it any kind of trolling.

It certainly doesn't follow that they're going to make big DB-related announcements at every con.
Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Well, guess I was wrong...

Maybe we'll hear some kind of DB announcement at Otakon?
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

Sigh.
