Anyone else noticing this or is it all just today for you gals?
Amanda (amanda36c on Streamate).
Hi Amanda! I know you from ifriends - palekitty from way back when. Welcome :)
I think traffic has definitely slowed. I had opened a new account on streamate and was blaming it on that but it's interesting to me that others are saying the same. hmm...
Also, I've been having a few tech problems on Streamate where guys tell me I'm showing offline and they can not get into private. I thought they were bullshitting until my best regular desperately tried to get in. I had to log out and turn off my HD and just use the drop down thing to let him in. He happily entered immediately so it definitely was messing up.
Now today a host just now posted that the same thing is happening. Ugh! Hope they get us up and running well soon because it's so frustrating when you have guys actually wanting to come in and can't.

Yeah it was a bad night. I made my $60, but to tell you the truth the paying customers did not start rolling in until around 3am.
From about 7PM-12:45 I made like $15 so I booted my ass outta there for a few hours.
I figure around 3AM they were HORNY AND DESPERATE and thus the paying customers were coming in.

Haha, I really thought it was me!
A LOTTTT of people in and out of my room. The only convos I really had was with a female that wanted to be my slave :O
and a stripper looking to get into camming. She was watching me with her gf lol. I wanted to suggest her to this forum but I dont think I could do that on SM right?
I only made 17 bucks when I first logged on and that was over the time span of 2 hours. I felt really bad because I just started on SM literally.
But Im glad to see that its just slow and not because I may look like a beast lol. :P
Thirsty Tuesday? is that when beggars are on the influx? lol
But shiiiit the end of the month.. and first of the month is literally riiight around the corner! }:D

Re: Has it been slow for anyone else today?
Palekitty! OMG! Hi girl!!! Wow, nice to see you again.
If I had a dime for every time someone came up with an excuse for why traffic was slow, I wouldn't need to cam at all. I'd be one rich-assed bitch! ;)
I've been having tech problems too but if you ask the site's owner, there are no problems. Herein perhaps lies the problem - the owner himself doesn't know there are problems! Either that or he knows and he just isn't admitting it (the latter is most likely our answer). Who would stick around, with confirmation that something's terribly wrong or who knows ... what do we do? Assume? Sure are a lot of tech problems, but in order for the site to verify that, it has to come from members, not hearsay (from us to the site, on behalf of the members). I tried. Went to the highest level. If anyone else can fathom some guesses here, lay 'em out there because all we can do is guess! Hey, maybe we can make a game of it. Let's see whose guess turns out to be what's really going on, if we ever get answers, that is. ;)
*sigh*, I'll just take my little PMSsing ass outa here now and head back to doing my nails. I always get my best thinking donw while doing my nails. ;)

Re: Has it been slow for anyone else today?
Alright dammit, I had to see for myself, so I did some poking around. I went to a reliable source for traffic reports, which gives a basic overview (of course you can't get exact figures, only the sites themselves have access to that info). Anyway, I used the search term "Streamate.com", as well as other sites owned by Streamate (Flying Croc Inc), such as "Porntubelive.com" , "youjizzlive.com" , "youpornmate.com" , to name a few . What I find really odd is that despite the traffic dropping, according to Alexa's graph, yet on Compete, another site that displays traffic stats, shows unique hits remaining steady or showing an increase, especially the last one. Really strange.

Re: Has it been slow for anyone else today?

Re: Has it been slow for anyone else today?
This has me a little worried. I just started on Streamate and really need the cash. I don't want to have to go back to imlive (although I had really good traffic there) Wish I could do MFC :/

Why can't you do MFC? Why can't you split cam? I split with imlive and streamate, meaning I am on both sites at the same time.

Re: Has it been slow for anyone else today?
MFC doesn't allow transgender, that's why Jenni. But its ok Charlotte, there are plenty of other sites for you to consider :) You aren't missing out on much lol trust me - I hated working on MFC! I still have an account there but I make more money with less effort elsewhere, it's pretty much like playing the lottery whenever I log on there :/ Anyways, if Imlive works for you then you should definitely keep that as one of your options! This is why I firmly believe in working on more than one site and having different streams of income and different ways to make money! You never know from day to day how much you are going to make on most camsites. That's why I really like having back up ways to make income, such as pso work and I also work on a guaranteed hourly pay site so I at least know I will make SOMETHING.

Re: Has it been slow for anyone else today?
Charlotte, have you considered Adult Work? That may be a very good back up option for you :) I've never worked there personally just because I'm juggling a lot right now but it's VERY popular on this forum and a lot of the girls are very happy with it, I watched you on youtube and think you could do very well there! Also have you considered doing phone sex? It's a great option to have and you can be logged into several places at once and take calls when things are slow on SM. I can list some good pso sites for you to look into if you are interested :)

I would am very interested in anything that can bring me money from the comfort of my own home :) I actually think I signed up for AW awhile ago, but the site layout turned me off a bit. Maybe I should learn it, and give it another try.

Re: Has it been slow for anyone else today?
SM is probably slower because everyone (models that is) is hauling ass away from IMLIVE! Maybe there are just more models on SM now? I left IML after 3 years. I miss it sometimes, but those guys were cheap and the chargebacks..ugh..what a pain! I've signed up for AW but I haven't had a chance to get on mostly because AW's peak times are family time at my house, so I don't know if that will work out for me. I'm actually considering doing phone sex again so Angel I'll email you! I need something I can do in my pj's with no makeup.

I'm wondering how anyone splitcams with MFC.
Do you just leave it running during a show and give them all freebies or keep pausing your cam, or log out completely?
Seems like it would completely kill your cam score.

Do you log off one site when you get a private on the other? I can't opt out of free chat on ImLive, so idk how that would work.

I just checked the site, and I think they are just accepting non trans women based on their application page. It's huge market, so it would certainly benefit them to do so, but I think it would require that they completely change the coding for the site.

It was slow for me last week but I hope MFC is on this week.
