Pics from the Runaway Success show of the year, Xbiz Summer Forum 06 Vegas.....

Well, I hope people got good value for their dollar by going to the show.

Must have been a lot of GFY peeps there, because I didn't perceive the noticeable slowdown that happens on the boards during one of the Internext shows.

Now if they'd just move it back a month to lower the temperature from roughly that of a calderon to only an oven....

Ah, but if they did that it would fuck up Alec Hemy's plan to screw AVN and the summer Internext. I predict that next year the show date will be moved even closer to Internext. I think this year they put it in the middle of Cybernet and Internext to steal from both, but Cybernet is so small and had some issues this year so next year I doubt they'll worry about them.

There has to be a weeding out of shows, there are way too many of them. The strong will survive.

So Alec is the man to do the weeding eh? Seems to me that the webmasters do the weeding. They go to the shows they like and do good business at and the ones that are poorly attended will die naturally.

Frankly I think it makes no sense to say there are too many shows. There are as many shows as sponsors and webmaster wish to support.

The really funny part of what you just said is the XBiz just added a NEW show and yet you say they are doing it to REDUCE the number of shows?

The only show Alec Helmy is trying to weed out is run by AVN.

Nowhere Did I say, or even imply, that Helmy will do the weeding, always have. My concern is how long can the pace be kept up, the avarege webmaster cant afford to take the time, or foot the expenses for a show every 2 weeks. There is just not enough return on the investment.
If you care to read the next Issue of The FUBAR TImes, there is an article in there addressing this situation. This was written apx 3 months ago, based on what I hear around the shows. It has nothing to do with 2 media groups being in competition.
