Saw this posted on their board. More AVS changes will probably follow.
In order to improve the quality of the AC Gold program and increase customer satisfaction, we will be making some significant changes to the requirements for new Gold submissions.
These changes will go into effect Monday, July 21, 2003. They will NOT be retroactive at the moment, so your old sites are safe. The changes are as follows:
Minimum # of images/videos
For image-only sites, 1000 images minimum.
For video sites, either a minimum of:
a) 100 images plus 30 minutes of video broken into 4 or more segments.
or
b) 100 images plus 60 minutes of video broken into 3 or fewer pieces.
Reciprocal links
All sites' members' areas must have a link back to the appropriate Gold link list category.
Other
New sites will be listed as "New" for 15 days after activation.
There are provisions in the new ASR to prevent content overuse. To qualify for Gold, content must either be exclusive or must come from a list of content providers who have been approved by the company and agreed to not oversell their content. Content providers who wish to be included in this list should email
[email protected].
An ASR PDF must be faxed back for every site submission
The new ASR (which will become effective July 21) is available for review at:
