Did anyone else run into tech issues today? I decided to put in some hours because ya know BONUS! But damn, guys couldn't stay connected and my stream kept freezing. It took me two hours to make $25. And I wasn't even splitcamming because I looked at the site this morning and thought it would be easy pickins. NOPE they couldn't go private.

^^I didn't but I was online earlier. The site is actually running beautifully for me lately, no fps drops in days. But I know it tends to work well for some while simultaneously fucking up for others and vice versa.
I was on at 9am est. I tried all three encoders. I used to work on SM every Sunday and let me tell you what...the same annoying guys who used to say stuff like show me something, can I see your pussy are all still there! I recognized all their names lmao I started greeting them like "Hey Bigdickhustla no I will not stand and twerk for you."

If you earn at least $25 during the two-day event, we'll add up your eligible earnings and reward you a 50% earning bonus. So if you earn $100 during the event, you'll be rewarded an extra $50 on top of that! This bonus only applies to earnings made on April 16-17 GMT, so make sure you know when those hours start in your time zone!
I took it to mean that if you make at least $25 then you're eligible for a bonus. So if you make $25 then your bonus would be $12.
Wow that's a lot better than I thought. I understood it to be we made 50% instead of 35% so a extra 15% total.

So true. I'm on now and it's pretty slow for me but video is working amazing when it was horrid yesterday for me. I'm glad because I have time to work and want to put in a lot of hours despite the slowness.

ALRIGHT!! Hope everyone is bringing it the last couple of hours of the BONUS!;D;D
On a different note...I contacted SM about the 21 day hold on payments and they said they can't change it. They didn't state whether it would be removed after a certain amount of time.
This is just a new account so I could go under couples but have had my solo account for years. Is there a way around this? Someone to contact directly?
This is a pain to wait 21 days on top of the payperiod week. That's a month pretty much! >:(
Thanks in advance.

I read that some times they won't change it depending on the country you're in. But if you're in the Usa and even in a country that's not heavily studio populated you should be able to get the 3-week hold removed. Maybe try contacting Liz (

I'm confused by this. I've heard others mention the 21 day hold but the couple times I opened an account there, at the bottom of 'payment info' it had the option where you could click to have the 21 day hold or dont put a check next to it and there is no hold. I've never had to wait the 21 days.

I tried logging on hours ago and it just wasn't working out so I gave up and decided to give it a try tomorrow. I just checked and seen the lady who was first when arriving on the site only have like 4 people....Idk....Traffic just may be down again.

So SM is doing my head in lately, I had to take a few weeks off for health, and since I've been back its been a struggle for shows/traffic. I know its probably the tax month, but I really need to get some more eggs. I should be a fan of Skype, I haven't tried indie, but the thought of using Skype for shows puts me off a little, for privacy and using VPN's and all that. I wonder if I would have more success indie rather than big box.
I'm familiar with MFC, I worked there before, but token sites aren't my thing. I'm looking for good traffic sites with a free chat private based system. What are ones that are doing decent right now? Hence my new thread, the climate of camming is really up and down right now, so an updated list of sites like SM would be great, if there isn't one already, that are doing good right now.
Adultwork looks daunting, but I'd be willing to give it a try, hows it over there?
SM used to be my bae, even when others were complaining that it was slow and no traffic etc, but now this month, its exactly like that for me. And I'm first page first row, I don't get it! :-[
Thanks

Is it always out of sync? If so you may need to upgrade your connection or computer.
If it isn't all the time it's probably SM.
Mine does that too but only when SM is having problems. It's on their end. Lately at certain busier times of day when I check out the site I see most of the models have the same issue. I hope they get it fixed soon.

yes, it seems to be all the time..and started within the last 2 weeks. I just bought a new laptop a few months ago and the specs are great...I'm thinking my internet is fine.. When I check on streamate it says that my bitrate, fps, and round trip time are at 100%.
So many guys coming in that don't set off the room alert. Just silently popping in and out.

If i experience that with the guys i will tell them to log out and lof back in and try to refresh if that doesnt work and others are experiencing the same still i will log out and refresh everything and it usually is fine after that. Hope it helps.

I wonder if other performers had this problem: after reinstalling windows and installing sm broadcast v16 it wont't update to v20. Everytime I start the broadcaster I have to click Ok for the update and it sends me on a blank page. Are there any other ways for updating to v20? It drives md crazy because v16 is causing big delay on video/sound.

It's worth a try switching to the adobe flash FMLE if you are having that issue on the broadcaster. I can't use it without having issues, and I have an i7 with great upload speed so it should work, but just doesn't for me.

This Friday, April 28th is the first bi-weekly payday since federal & state taxes were filed/paid on April 18th. Because of that I'm hoping we'll see some spenders =)
Monday is the 1st, when US government, military & SSI checks are loaded into their accounts. Fingers crossed that working Friday thru Monday might see some decent earnings.
PS: I'd pay attention to the NBA finals schedule too. When they're on I notice a drop off of shows. How about you?

I love how we were so hopeful: "Streamate is turning over a new leaf! They're actually starting to listen to us; they know we hate contests! The only people who profit from these contests are the promoter/white labels...maybe they'll continue this 50% trend." Two weeks later, they're back with a contest that you have to bust your ass for 72 HOURS in order to have a fighting chance of getting a decent bonus prize.

So I was looking at the Streamate site on my iPhone on safari. I've been wanting to see what the website looks like on a phone since a lot of my regs now are all mobile... and I clicked on random cam girl on top row... It just throws me in the middle of her gold show. Im like freaking out... why was she still on first page if she was in show? and it didn't even look like the beginning. I know this has been mentioned but I have never seen this for myself and I am rather in kind of shock. For one, I just wanted to see what our profiles look like on phone! lol and I get thrown into someone full nudity just pounding away... After about 30 seconds it went to the "performing live now" screen. Now I'm wondering is this some type of new sales tactic? are they showing a tease and then cutting off to get people to join? I don't see it happening anymore right now so maybe this part of this whole glitch thing right now?
and I want to add....
not another contest NOOOOOO:'( :'( :'( :'(. Please more bonuses!! so who would I write to let them know how I feel about these contests and bonuses (and the above issue too for that matter?) I guess the site has to pay out less for contests and more for bonuses so maybe the contests will be sticking around :(
