      And now I will ask: why are you doing this? Are we to feel sorry for you and therefore attend the show? I think your first order of business should probably be to try to find exhibitors in order to get us excited to go. Not sure what the point of these posts are, along with links to websites you are banned from. It would be really great if you could turn this into an event worth attending again, it has unfortunately been going down hill, and in my personal opinion and what it seems is a pretty popular opinion, much of this you have brought on yourself. Whether you believe that or not. This used to be a great show. Make MAX great again!

      Look, I don't care what other people say, if there is a MAX I am going to it! And any other reef shows that are in my vicinity. I love all the shows good or bad.

      Went last year. Wasn't worth the drive, gas, or admission fee. The expirence was good and I'm glad I went, so I could see what all the fuss was about. But what I saw most was venders selling way overpriced stuff. Tagging corals with a fancy name and charging a premium. Maybe this wouldn't be an issue if we didn't have some pretty good LFS in our area. I'm also a 5 min drive from Vance, so I'm sure that has something to do with it.

      Also, one of the sponsers here posted some emails that were exchanged about a booth rental. It didn't paint "MAX" in a pretty picture. Not to mention what seems like these "pity party" post you're giving us now. I don't wish bad on anyone, nor do I want people to fail. If your not seeing/getting the results you want, maybe take the hint. Sometimes it's best to see the cards for what they are and fold.

      Actually the driving force at this point are the exhibitors. We have put out the word that February 17 is the final deadline. If we don't get at least 20 additional registrations it is a moot point

      2017 is unfortunately a no go......now looking at logistics to see if a 2018 show is possible

      all 100% depends on demand
