I've logged in tonight too. Traffic is a little slower for me tonight (might be my paranoid imagination), but no issues YET (fingers crossed) and there doesn't seem to be a delay in getting messages either

Traffic is unusually slow for me too but everything seems to work like it should at least.
Also, I'm pretty sure they've changed the placement back to the way it used to be, no? I'm in the UK and I'm seeing US girls on the first row.

I see theres like 1600 models online from the usual 900-1100 theres been, does that mean the site is finally running better?? Hoping so! Planning to pull a longer than normal shift tonight to make up for last night.

Got kicked from a $275 gold show this afternoon. So pissed. However this has forced me to finally try MFC and I've done really well so far. Bills to pay!!

Excellent! Nice money is always great! I only made 200 tonight with the slow traffic, no real issues other than one guy saying it was freezing for him, but nobody else complained so I think it was problems his end. I don't want to jinx it, but looks like things are back to normal

What drives me nuts the most is they take such a big cut and they can't provide us a decent place to work on.
or decent support.
I'm a little late as it seems like people are having more luck now but this is the key issue here.
I look at these sites as a service, I am not an employee I pay for a service and for that I expect traffic a platform to be paid on, to stream my video and support for the issues related to the service.
When they don't provide that and also neglect to communicate with us what is the problem I very quickly go on the offensive and we all should scream about it, tweet about it, tumblr about it, reddit about it, put our dissatisfaction out there. We work in a digital world and that should empower us, we don't have a union but we have hundreds of thousands of followers on social media that is our equivalent. I don't want to damage SM as it is "my site" but I do want them to listen to us when we have issues and to work with us on improvements.
Streamate needs to remember that we are customers too and keeping us happy is beneficial because we are instrumental to their success. I often get the feeling from camsites that we just silly women and don't get all the important man things that they have to deal with but maybe that is because I have spent too much time on GFY! lol.
Sites have issues, servers need maintaining and traffic needs to be there but to be honest I can deal with issues if they are dealt with transparently. We are not stupid, we understand that issues happen but it would be great if we weren't kept in the dark about the reality of the situation. A more open channel of communication would bring a whole lot more loyalty towards the site, its great to see Vanessa on this thread but I think most of us just see that at as a testimony of how bad it really is which is not the way it should be!
It would be a refreshing change to actually be treated with some respect by a camsite, so why don't Streamate try and start that trend it may even be good for business it sure works for some ("Don't be evil")...

OH MY GOD THIS IS EXHAUSTING.
Currently my traffic is at a halt and C2C didn't work on the customer's end of the one pvt I've landed in the past 40 min.
Streamate please please PLEASE get your life together, Shit is bad when ImLive is starting to look like a viable alternative to whatever the hell you've got going on currently.

I can't get my stream to start at all? First the FMS URL and STREAM links are super delayed if they show up, and now I keep getting this message when I try to start streaming, which I've never gotten before:
42335
Totally willing to accept it's just me, if it is, cause you guys are saying it's better and I trust that. I have just never seen this message before. And I have been trying to stream for 15mins now with no luck cause this just keeps happening. :'(
Seriously though I am tech-illiterate so if I'm doing something wrong someone tell me? I have no clue if this is the servers or me being an idiot. (For the record I have re-started everything multiple times, still the same result.)

Hell yes we are! I feel like I'm on crazy pills sometimes. Like Mugatu said Doesn't anyone else notice this? It comes down to a matter of perspective I suppose. Many will say "Well if you don't like it leave!!!" It really doesn't have to be like that or it shouldn't be. Yea there're other options but before long you will have gone through all of them and before you know it you're just running in circles talking about the way things used to be. I'm guilty of that. I look back and wonder WTF happened? I give the big cut to these guys and they give me a unstable platform. Truth is many of us have dealt with these issues long before this week. Lagging. Guys not getting into privates. A placement that's stagnant. Read back on this thread. But now that its effecting everyone people are paying attention. If these sites dont want to start paying attention then they will lose guys. Because before long they'll only have a bunch of boring ass carboard replicas of camgirls. No personality. Zero expertise when it comes to fetishes. Blank stares etc. Skype is where its at. These guys will find you when they see what's left.

Does anyone know if the logitech c920 can support a resolution of 1280x720 or higher? Wondering about the new recommended encoder settings.

This is sooo disheartening, I am getting bad anxiety about being on cam. Tomorrow is another day, let's hope for the best.

Just to calm some fears, I cammed tonight and did great. Surpassed my goal and only a few tiny glitches. Don't give up hope!

It took me a while to start streaming because the streaming links popup wouldn't show up. Now everyone's saying they are getting booted from the room or the video isn't loading. My RTT looks ok as well as connection speed. so doubt it's me. Now got to think of something productive to do while I'm sitting in the empty room waiting for someone to show up.

I use a french IP and it's the same. Maybe UK it's included in the same category as for models location (North America/UK/Australia).

I think Vanessa actually mentioned there were less issues with new setting and using the C920. Before I started camming I would watch gold shows and a few girls. If I liked their cam quality I would message them on what cam they used. They all used the C920. Also, funny thing yesterday, because of the new settings I'm getting a ton of guys mentioning the better picture and one guy asked me about my cam, as I was telling him about it (and I love to talk yak yak) he tipped me 50 gold! LOL nice gesture considering all the issues I had yesterday. ;-)

Could you share the settings please?

No, thank you! That's why I posted here, I figured someone would have a suggestion I didn't think of. If it happens again next time I try to get on cam, I'll try doing that. I've never had to lower my settings (never had any problems with the encoder before), so the thought hadn't even occurred to me.

Heads up I went on cam last night and hardly had any issues, seemed to be back to normal for the most part, made my high goal in a really decent time too! Don't know how it is today but I will report after I work this morning/afternoon.. good luck everyone and make them $$s!

It just went down. it worked good for maybe 16 hours then crashed again. I guess I'll be pulling camathons while it IS working, I can NOT afford this! I have a little one going to school I need clothes/shoes/supplies for and need to pay my internet bill, like #$%^, thank god its not a rent check but thats after this one and not being able to pay my net is bad enough!! :O

I can not get online either. I click start show and nothing happens no url or stream key nothing.... actually I just tried without the encoder, I did get on, but I thought i would try a different setting without the encoder, hdwide, now i cant get back on again
I have to say, when kinklive had issues like this... they actually gave the girls money for the problems .. way to go KINKLIVE
Now i dont even have a dashboard :(

08-19-2015, 10:47 AM
Yup! back to the 123 model's online. I'm getting so sick of this and I can imagine that customers are too. I wouldn't stick around a site and spend money with all the glitches and if I was in private, spending my money and was disconnected, I'd be wanting my money back.

Even if thats the case how about some COMMUNICATION when you're going to take the site down?? Would be nice to know instead of wasting hours getting to sit here and stare at your computer in tears, literally after spending hours to get online for nothing! So we can adjust our hours to work at different times! This is our livelihood we work for them to make THEM and US money SOME communication would be nice! Seriously this is getting old!!! I don't know about other ladies but a week without working consistent = bad news for me! I'm sure many feel the other way, especially when you don't have a backup site to go to and this is your only way to earn money! Just ridiculous, so sad by all of this.
