does runDisney run the telegram site or someone on the DIS?

It's not official, appears to have been built by teamrundis.com.

I’m shocked that even the charity route is hitting a brick wall. My fingers are crossed to make a random Half or Challenge drop but if we don’t get in this year it wasn’t meant to be.

THIS!

I think themes and publicity combined probably drove a lot of new interest, and Disney redesigning the page to eliminate link sharing (purposeful or not) impacted the veteran community's ability to virtually guarantee entry.

If it was a design decision, I wonder if they got enough complaints about not being able to move your own queue (due to wifi outage, having to commute to work during the wait, etc) if they'd reconsider adding it back? If it was indeed on purpose and they intended to break up the clique, I think they are going to regret it. The community that's been created around rD is something a lot of companies work really hard for, and to purposefully destroy that is truly shortsighted.

We were lucky and got in, but it seems more than usual did not. I do believe the queue sharing change affected many, especially in this community.

In the past, DVC had a very similar process for registering for their Moonlight Magic events. I got into those by using multiple devices, however many in the community had strong opinions against this strategy. Last year DVC made changes and required you to log in to your account before getting into the queue. Then if you use a different device/browser, once logged in through those, you are placed in the exact spot as your first log in, thus eliminating the use of multiple devices. Needless to say, with that change I didn't get into the event. I just hope runDisney doesn't go in a similar direction.
