It sure doesn't feel like the position is dead from where I am sitting. Also, I have found that in the last six months or so more people are seeking out their affiliate support person and asking for help. Newbies have always been happy to hit us up asking for help but the change is that people that have been around a long time are doing it now too.
I do think that the pure board whore/convention hopper positions might be at risk but those that actually work on accounts and have at least a slight clue are still in demand.
I can't speak for others but I never ignore anybody regardless of their sales. I actually rather enjoy working with the 1 sale a day type guys and helping them grow into more. Often it is just not really knowing how to deal with the traffic they have found.
