It sure ain't 1999 anymore. Not on any level.

Chris, I think as Kristin is saying, maybe if the show wasn't hyped as "bigger and better" people wouldn't have walked away so disappointed. They are only pissed they didn't get what was advertised. You're kind of coming off like shame on the people who paid money to attend for thinking the show was going to be worth attending.
Saying that "It sure ain't 1999 anymore" is a cop out- people are still putting on successful shows. Phoenix isn't hurting and it seems like mainstream keeps on growing- I don't see Ad Tech or Affiliate Summit going away- they are all selling out and still delivering value.
Personally, I would MUCH prefer to go to a smaller, streamlined show where I know everyone in attendance is in the online space than a mixed bag filled with novelty and DVD manufacturers.
