I thought about going out of curiosity this year, but passed due to other commitments, and am glad I did. I haven't heard anything really positive, (apart from a couple of good seminars...hell I could pay a couple of hundred bucks to attend that) that would attract me.
They seem to have lost entirely the amateur girl component. You know pic exchanges and parties. There is, of course, lots of traffic rat stuff. But that is not entirely what this business is about and in many ways is moving on from even that.
It feels like this show has lost its way. The business has left it behind and it has not managed to provide the fun necessary to get and keep the buzz. I for one, am surprised it has even survived.
It kind of feels like an old school business that could survive and make a shitpot of money when a trained gorilla could make a good living back in the day. If anyone thinks I am pissing up a rope, please feel free to shoot me down, but I have seen lots of board boredom after this show.

I dont envy MJ the task of revitialziing this show.
