Without dragging up old, dirty laundry, suffice it to say there was pretty strong belief and support for the notion that not only did Cybersocket actively sabotage GPF, they went to a bunch of key sponsors and told them to call CCBill and tell them they wouldn't support it.
Of course, on the other side, there's evidence that CCBill, at the highest level, wasn't absolutely overwhelmingly supportive of the GPF in the first place at that time, but I suspect it would have happened had Cybersocket not twisted AVN's arm into scheduling their event directly against GPF.
There's several threads about this here in the archive from when it happened.
Hopefully the guilty parties will eventually figure out that scheduling shows directly against one another isn't the wisest move. Phoenix Forum has happened the first week of April for 5+ years, so anyone scheduling against that show has got to realize what they're doing.
