Well, appearently AVN has had that field form box on there registration process for some time, several years infact.
Thats alot more effort than any other trade show or event.
I understand alot of webmasters are hating on AVN these days. I really do, and I understand some of the reasons.
AVN been around so long they are becomming the Christ on the cross.
Not even I have been one of AVN's biggest supporters in the past, infact I was one of thier first critics and was bashed for it hand over fist. But times are different now with a whole new set of agenda's and angles from many in the biz.
I can see that they put in the effort and do there part for the business in news, articles writings and publishings for many of our industry and the video side. I have come to recognise the emense responsibility they have.
I am just slow on the matter, maybe not informed but I do know that as of late they have been very generous to me behind the scenes, I have had alot of dialog with some of there folks as of late. They work just like we do and seldomly get everything perfect.
Regarding the Handicap issue, they are the only ones I have seen that even put in an effort above any other gathering or industry event.
On a larger scale many companies relie on AVN for the publishing of video companies and industry news. They sit in a precarious position that is easy to attack and it could not be easier to describe than to say it like it is.
"You can not please everyone."
And being a long poster here on GFY, that is the truth.
You can not please everyone thats the bottom line, ya always will have your haters.
Thats just the way it is.
Aftershock this thread proved the haters and the local bandwagon as of late that has found that XBIZ is the "New Angel" for our information and news. I say hardly would that be the case, all industries need trade publications and news and I would urge webmasters to realise that before drawing a line in black and white in the sand.
