It's because AVS did not evolve at the same pace as the rest of the industry. The model itself is still wonderful, but asking surfers to pay for 5,000 "sites" each with 15 pics is something out of 1998.

The dilema here is that the people who did AVS site submitting generally do not have access to the type of content necessary to create a good AVS site by 2006 standards. It would take a good quality full length video or an entire photoset, and sponsors do not make that available. If that can't be offered on AVS sites, then surfers may as well just stick with free TGP's.
