Squeak! Why can't bots be good bots like Big Hero 6? As we see an increase in bot activity, we quickly learned bots were scraping our memberlist when attempting to join our chats and spamming anyone who is not an admin.

To put an end to that, the GOTF Chat and GOTF Inflatables Community now require admin approval and our chat security bot will DM the new person the CAPTCHA before approving their request.

Squeak! May we have your attention please? The 2026 GOTF DJ Application is open. Please clicky the link to learn more and if you apply, best of luck! ^_^

Get Out The Flat has sabotaged our vendor table prices!
As an inflatables convention, we knew the table prices were gonna increase due to inflation but not this year!
We will begin processing vendor applications 08/25/2025; applications submitted after this deadline may be considered for our waitlist.

Rates for vendor tables in Buyer's Blvd are the same as they were for 2025 ($60 half, $120 full). See details here:

We have some refreshing news! Of the "press F5 to refresh." variety.

After two of our hotels sold out for the weekend, we've added Ebb Tide Oceanfront Inn with room rates between $120/n to $140/n before taxes. If you do not see Ebb Tide listed, refresh the page. ^_^

Hello Fellow Pooltoys!
We have reports of Scam E-mails being sent today appearing to be on behalf of the Saltline Hotel with urgent instructions to confirm your reservation. These E-mail contain enough personal and specific information about your reservation to be potentially convincing.

Staff at Saltline Hotel have confirmed they are aware of the Scam E-mails and have advised reservation holders not to click or act on those scam E-mails. The actual number for the Saltline is 971-601-1082 if you wish to call and double check your reservation.

Update! River Inn has suffered the same sort of breach as Saltline Hotel last week with "urgent instructions to confirm your reservation." Call River Inn directly at 503-717-5744 if you need to make any changes to your reservation but otherwise report the suspicious emails as phishing or spam as you see fit.

Squeak! The GOTF 2026 Toy Submission Form is open! This is where the owners of toys let us know what you're bringing to the convention center and/or the pool. While most pooltoys are not luminescent, if they fit this year's theme of Biolumin-essence especially well, please let us know in the additional information section. Clicky the link to go to the form. https://forms.gle/GXSzDVRTzcZMXLAN7

The form is also updated to squeak about use in/at the pool as well as what tag color you want on your toy. ^^ #ad
