Sure I know all that man, and at the time it was fine what really sold memberships was this cheap price and this Age Verification stuff. But after the big change when they where no longer really a AVS anymore I do not see how anyone could not see some problems coming then. That was the time to act, hell I am sure I would have over reacted if I was them, creating more of a hybrid system for sure. Maybe a 9.95 monthly membership to access their members/AVS site as well as free access to all their “bonus” or affiliate sites for that month. I would have also created separate tours, for the top 5 categories so could break it up a bit.

Premium membership areas where a ok idea, but the AVS sites way over charged for them, and this I am sure this did not make viewers really that happy later on when they figured out they where way overpaying for this stuff. Hell I think UGAS has a 50$ membership or some crap, for that I could get a guy to come to my house to give me head LOL
