Greetings 3rd party expatriates! LOL

After reading all the talk -- it seems the choice for future biz will be AVS or something like an AVS hybrid/evolution (like AdultCentro.com)

1. The shortcomings of AVS are easily corrected with additional coding -- so if you have plugins and content that should be kept private -- that will only take these AVS guys a few lines of code to solve. If you have other needs -- the coding solutions will follow shortly -- the money is waiting. AVS will address these issues shortly in order to get more new biz. I've already talked to AdultCentro.com -- they have this figured out -- they've got some amazing programmers. Essentially you can avoid these VISA regulations with programming/organizational semantics -- that's the beauty of the internet as a living breathing organism. Look at CCBill and IBill -- do you really think they will be able to adapt to this change quickly enough? Meanwhile AVS will sweep away all of their new biz while they scurry to hack an AVS or attept to partner into some kind of mutated AVS system. Jack be nimble Jack be quick hehe...

2. The Netbilling option sounds great -- but like Labret said -- who wants to deal w/ a merchant account -- even if it's not rocket science -- it's still wasted time.

If you are already using IBill, CCBill, etc. -- makes sense that you will just stay -- that's the path of least resistance.

The future of the porn biz is in some AVS-hybrid -- I can guarantee this will be solved by some talented programmers -- to take the complexity, risk, and startup cost out of selling porn. I can assure you they are coding as we speak as fast as they can -- I wouldn't be suprised if some exiciting new systems are launched before the November 1 deadline. It will just be a new breed of 3rd party -- these VISA reglations have just rendered CCBill and IBill and Epoch obsolete technology.

Please try to prove me wrong. Prove to me how VISA can do shit to a feature-rich AVS system that can satisfy the needs of most existing -- soon-to-be-aggregating paysites. AVS has a head start in all of this, and dare I say seemingly better conversion ratios/member retention.
