This makes me sad.
It makes me sad, too. At the same time, the last time I ordered from them, I never got the DVDs. And I could not contact anyone to get any sort of assistance with my order or a refund. I wondered at that time whether or not they were going to stay in business, as it was very unlike them -- at least, based on my prior dealings with ADV.
wow. And, I was planning on saving up some cash for myself this Christmas and purchase some DVDs from their web site. I am sad too.
you should post this on AB, if you haven''t already :)
That''s unfortunate, but it was a long time in the making. ADV''s finances and management were never in a position to run a company growing that fast. (Conclusion drawn from *minor* amounts of insider info.)
sucks
