AVS still buzzing?

Are they still going? The reason I ask is that a while back I was looking for an AVS company, and came to the conclusion that NetVerifier no longer ran an AVS model. After reading this post I went back and took another look and found that their WM page still looks like an affiliate page for an ordinary paysite. However looking at charges I found an "option" for $18.95 a year, which sounds like an AVS. But looking further their payouts made no sense. They were:

Membership Option :1 Year $18.95
Initial Payout: $16.00
Initial Payout on Bonus Program: $38.90
Renewal Payout: $22.00

The "Initial Payout on Bonus Program" I can understand as a "loss leader" to drag webmasters in, but a standard payment of $16 on an $18.95 signup does not add up, their processor fees and exes have got to be more than $2.95. And a renewal payout of $22 on a $18.95 charge is simply a fast track to bankruptcy.

Just now, trying to find out if they were in action I found this post on GFY:

Netverifier no longer a traditional AVS? They don't link to sites or accept new sites anymore.

With a later post saying that they asked NetVerifier what the situation was:

I asked them how to add sites. They replied that they no longer do that, and are running like a normal paysite.

I am seriously interested in an answer to this thread because I have a pile of pictures not being used that would make a good AVS site.
