Be sure to check into the pending Visa regulations .... word is (from all the webmaster boards) that Visa plans to make each AVS have each site under them register with Visa. This means each webmaster has to come up with $750 for the first year and $250 for each additional.

Mastercard charges $1,000 for their registration but that really hasn't been put in place yet, and nothing has been said about MC with AVS.

I'd move my sites to a gay owned AVS in a heartbeat. I've never used one because they were too twinky for me (one site is gay hairy men), too rainbowish (ok, too gay!) or they didn't really offer a lot of sites to the visitor.

I've got a couple of sites under one gay AVS with no signups in 2 months ..... not a good thing
