AVS sites being shut down by Visa

Just wanted to know what most of you have heard on this matter. I know of several major AVS sites that will be cut off by most of the major billing companies per VISA at midnight tonight.

Can you post the names of these 'major AVS sites'? Are they doing materials that Visa frowns upon, such as looking younger than 18, golden showers, fisting, scat or bestiality?

Sounds like a disgruntled ex-AVS user.... probably terminated for CP or someshit & wants to strike a little fear in the hearts and minds of whoever terminated him.

It's not a secret that Visa is taking a close look at the AVS model, since a case could be made that they are unregulated aggregators... and as such can circumvent both the letter and the spirit of the Visa policies of last year.

But I'm still waiting to hear who's in the hot seat.

I call BS, yes, I can see some that used the babenet backend shutting down, or similar, but not a big doom and gloom ending, sorry. I know too many AVSers and too many ppl at the AVSes that I would have heard a rumor from a reliable source.

Thanks KimmyKim!! I always look forward to your responce. I can promise you this is a reality. I am not saying that some of them will find temporary solutions overseas. Lets just say I seen the list and am willing to wager upto $10k on this news. I am sure several of them have found solutions outside of the US.

So in other words Visa USA is canning them. This is probably no big surprise and they have known for months.

ONLY $10K???... C'mon man - if I was sitting on news like that I would wager all the cash I had in my bank, and my house (even though I have $5.73 in my bank account and I am renting at the moment)

I'm not so sure it's Visa doing the canning... more like someone jumping the gun if this is what is happening today. I'm not aware that Visa's gone any further right now than to start requesting information on specific AVS...

Considering you are a regular poster who's using a fake username you might as well just say what you know... if anything.

Lets just say that one of my best friends works for one of the billing companies and this is no lie. Visa hates the AVS model and is shutting them down even if they have their own merchant accounts.

$100 says he's right.

Just please don't let it be Adult Bouncer and DeluxePass! OH DEAR GOD THE HUMANITY!

if it's true would be sad for the people who run reputable AVS systems.

I don't know if it's related but DeluxePass have told all their webmasters to remove the word AVS from their sites.

yeah once you remove the letters "AVS" it's not really any different than a normal paysite -- you just have a lot more people uploading content...

I just started an AVS project (Premium, Regular, Hub sites) so I just recently did a head count looking for who to use...and I would estimate about 30 significant AVS's out there.
