As long as the sponsors keep paying for booth space and advertising at this show there will be a profit for AVN - and they will not change a thing - it would be ridiculous for them to change.
Based on their rep who did show up on another board asking who was going - I see that 95% of the answers were sponsors - followed by a few psuedo-webmasters that are what I call hanger-ons. Its amazing that this info will go back to AVN and they will think everything is fine with that response.
Now the thought that AVN would really care about WMs and their input - why should they? They make the money they want - they get exactly the response they intended - no reason to change.
The changes can only occur if one of two things happen - first - they have to want to change (thats out)
second- the change is forced - and with the WM community that is not going to happen because everyone keeps feeding the money into them and they just keep taking it.
If AVN really wants to cater to WMs (which based on the feedback that has been posted and not acted on for the last three years indicates they dont)
then they will get a rep out into the WM community who can change things this year - not 5 years down the road. But all indications are that that is also never going to happen.
I personally have made suggestions to AVN reps for at least four years in person at shows, and every time the exact same answer is given - we will look into those ideas - and then 3 days after the show the ideas vanish into thin air.
This will be the last show for me(run by AVN) - the only reason I am still going this time is I cant get my money back.
