i agree 100%, those were the days when programs were living high on the hog, throwing lavish 500k parties, and they spent a high % of their revenue promoting to get affiliates and market to the public
but times have changed, its not a pick-up-the-phone and take-the-orders sort of thing, but a knock on peoples doors and asking back for some of the support avn has given out over the years, pull favors, etc.
chris was that guy for the past 4 years
plus its an uphill battle anyhow for them because out of all the shows, because people are looking carefully at value right now, id bet avn gives the least % of attendee/sponsor $$ back to the attendees/sponsors, and i bet xbiz's % of the money they sink back into the show is much higher, and with the phx forum, they have stated in the past they sink ALL the sponsor/attendee money back into the show
