The VIP area is awesome if you are either a designer or need to create a lot of sites. You'll find way more purchased stuff in the VIP area, templates, scripts, stock images... Another thing you'll find are shared accounts for places like Mega Upload/Video, Rapid Share, Netflix, etc.
That place is shit as far as SEO software and information go, I'll be the person replying to you for anything regarding that. Most of it is old, too, that section is practically vacant. Then again, this place is shit as far as design goes in comparison as well.
I'm not a VIP there anymore as I'm not designing websites anymore for clients and most things I'm looking for I can find on places like CRShare, BoyGJ, GFXtra, and Script-Mafia. If you're going to get it, though, get more than 1 month, there's only 1 admin that activates VIP status and he's notoriously slow. It used to be very fast activation, maybe a day; that turned into a week, then 2. Now it's 2 weeks before you're allowed to PM the guy to remind him.
Very cool place if you're a designer. It's one of the tabs I always keep open in my browser.
