avn has found a way to rape the average webmaster and get away with it...which is why i am never going to an internext or avn sponsored event ever again...you would think that $2000-20,000 for a booth would be ebough money, but no, now they want $250 per person to even stand on the show floor
there are plenty of other conventions, and most are cheap and/or free...we don't need internext anymore and I think that some of the larger companies should take a stand and show avn that statement is true

It's not about the show floor, and it's not about keeping newbies out. I've had quite a lot of positive feedback from a number of people who are very happy to pay that for the new show format.
On a side note, and I realise this may sound picky... I'd really appreciate it if people wouldn't misuse the word 'rape' quite so much. It's a different level of violation that shouldn't be diluted by misuse. ~Thanks! |
