I am totally confused why guys on AW jump in and out of group shows?
I thought that peepers was only an SM thing.
I know I get paid for the minute they that jump it but I just found it super strange that they do it. :O
Yep as Katie said, its a bit like the thirty sec room Hoppers on SM except they do pay for as long as they are connected. I assume you are not offering free chat? If so then yeah they are just looking to see what you are like,of course there are also those that jump in and out quick when you are already in a show or have just finished one, hoping to catch you mid show or at least still naked.

Yup, they pay by the second from the first second from when they connect and your video stream is visable to them.

Well that was harsh :)
It's true. Gumtree/ backpage ads offering set amounts or rates to do "adult work" on camsites are scams. This is rife especially with adultwork and streamate. The girl signs up thinking ooh £100 per day (etc), sounds great! then not only does she often have no idea on which site she's working, or what's expected of her, or any control over her rates, profile, emails, or pay, but very shortly finds out she's not getting paid anymore, or paid less. Or simply realizes she can make much much more on her own, without giving up all control to a studio pimp of this nature who exists purely to leech off naive girls with no experience of the industry or how to avoid such parasites! By which time of course she is locked into the "studio" and cannot leave, or if she does, finds she cannot them sign up to the site independently.
There are many, many threads on this exact issue.
So, no, not harsh at all.

@Cantabria You could try contacting Collin who runs the daily pay group http://adultworkwebcammers.co.uk/ or KinkyDirtyBitch https://twitter.com/kinkydirtybitch who is a member of this forum, both of whom have been known to successfully help girls in your situation. Not saying they can in every case, but they are certainly best placed to give you some advice on what to do.

I have YET another stupid question for you guys.
Do we get in major trouble if we end up missing a call?
I accidently missed one while I was taking a bathroom break and now I am fear the wraith of the site. :(

No, don't worry. I think you get logged out of phone though, so you just need to log back in. You are also able to email people who you've missed and say "sorry, try again".

ANOTHER question?! lol. Missing a call is fine...sometimes the phone system messes up and shows missed calls I didn't know I had too. I also have missed calls when I'm on a call with someone else. If someone one was deliberately ignoring calls and a guy complained, they may look into it then but missing the odd one isn't going to be a problem.
edit: oh yes, I forgot the logging out thing...that's to stop people showing they're online when they're not really.

Sometimes AW can be quiet. But when you get shows you'll be getting 70% of the money (from a price YOU set and control!) as opposed to whatever meagre cut/ set rate your studio was offering x

I haven't been getting any shows lately on AW. It's been like two weeks since I've done a show without the guy coming in and then immediately leaving. Not sure what I have to do to help as I'm still fairly new to AW (about a few months). I feel like maybe being in the US hurts me? I was getting mad shows when I first started there though. It makes me sad :(
Classy_Katy
04-09-2013, 11:13 PM
AW is like that Solo unfortunately...because the AW guys like newbies, and newbies are joining all the time, it becomes harder for girls who have been around for a while unless they have lots of regulars that stay with them. You can try revamping your pics and profile, and change your pricing to see it it helps. There is also positioning and featuring you can pay for from your my details page.

Hey,
AW forum, AW main site and JCI aren't connecting for me. Every other site is, so I don't know what's going on.
Any other girl finding this?

We are investigating connection issues, thank you for your patience.
Seems the Site is being subjected to a Distributed Denial of Service attack, which is having the desired effect. Working to resolve now.
Still working to resolve the attack issues. Trying to bring alternative solution on ASAP.
*phew* Not just us, girl xx

Earlier this morning (sometime after 4 AM EST) the internet was weird for me. I was actually unable to cam on MFC because the model web broadcaster wouldn't open up, and then when I tried to access this forum it was taking its sweet time loading, and when it finally did open, the page was completely fucked up, and the 'Reply to Thread' button was oddly placed. I tried to watch internet porn, and THAT site wouldn't even open. It was very strange, and it was pissing me off...lol. I'm glad the internet is back to normal for me now though.

Anyone having an issue with their referral links not working? When I click on mine it says "model4u is no longer active but we have found models from the same area". My heart dropped cuz I thought maybe i had been deactivated. I can log in. It still says Im verified but my links in buisness builder dont work?

Guys if you follow Adultwork on tweeter you'll see what's been happening...the site has been subjected to a Distributed Denial of Service attack since early this morning. Girls have been using a temporary site while they try and get the main one back up and running. @AdultWorkcom

Thanks I saw this on twitter. I was just curious if this particular incident with referral links was related to the attack?
Classy_Katy

The referral link is trying to take you to the site that is down. When I click on mine I just get a timed out message.

I just signed up to this site and they refuse to take a drivers license as proof of who you are. They said they need a passport or another federal issued ID. I'm sorry but that is insane.

Jane I feel your pain! But that's how it goes at AW for non UK residents I'm afraid. I had to bug the heck out of them to get on board and show proof that I was waiting for my passport. They let me start camming without it but like I said I had to submit paperwork that it was in progress.
