Yes we had some great shows out of them no doubt, but in the end at what cost to us? I think any company that wants to promote shows or a trade magazine should have 1 very important thing-
TRAFFIC.
Or at least the knowledge of how to get it, retain it, and market it-
So far I don't know of one person at AVN that has ever owned or run a successful paysite- that is their biggest problem.
If I wanted to write for JAMA- ( The Journal for the Medical Association) you'd bet your bottom dollar I better have practiced medicine somewhere or went to medical school.
Why should it be any different when discussing the web-
I loved TOM HYMES he was a great writer for AVN and took the time to learn things about the web that not many others really cared to learn- but at the end of the day....you think Ron Levi or John Bennet read anything they wrote and took it seriously???

Good lord, KB, perhaps if you actually started reading the magazine you'd learn something yourself! Like, for example, that the very useful information presented to readers in the last two issues is offered up by respected and successful leaders in this industry. They include, your good friend J$tyle$, Me, Eric Matis, Mark Gallione, Chandie Foster, Scott Rabinowitz, Derek Meklir, Eric from Gamma, Lars, Brock MacKenzie, Jack Mardack, Matthew Sclier, Gary Olen, Kevin Ho, Mike Price, various attorneys... I really could go on and on, but perhaps you should start looking at the magazine again before you pretend any further that you have the slightest idea what's going on.
