Imo, AVS (AEN) sites don't offer enough new content to have regular monthly memberships valued at $20. Sure, 20-50 galleries are added everyday but 99.9% are old recycled content... some pics dating back to the birth of the internet. A surfer can get fresher stuff on a TGP.

It isn't until you add all the bells and whistles of the dozens of leased feeds and plug-ins of the Premium programs that you have something that's worth a monthly recurring fee.
