That "Aaahh" sound is awesome. I got a 25 Goldtip last night from a regular. He always tips 25 after his privates but was having a rough day so just came in and tipped 25 Gold in free chat.

That's awesome BrownFox! I just have to ask though (because I have this problem) does it make you upset knowing that you would have made $25 off of that if the guy would have tipped you through MFC? I dunno what % you are making on SM but it's less than MFC. How do you get over that? I have been trying other sites but I get so frustrated calculating what I would have made had I done the exact same thing on my higher % site and I just give up with the lower % ones.
Yeah, it usually is upsetting, but today it made me happy because every dollar earned today on SM is very much needed ASAP. If I had gotten it on MFC, I would've had to wait til February 16th to have it in my hands. But since I got it on SM (daily pay), I should have the money tomorrow morning.
And Carmex...I can't forget about the Carmex. I'm just about out...lol.

Did you ever notice the 3, 2, 1 on the right top corner of the streaming page? What does it mean?
It does that periodically while you're in public chat because it's getting ready to snap a picture of you live in your room. Then that would be the picture that shows up on your profile as the main photo. But you can e-mail SM and ask them to change it so that instead of that, the main pic can just be one of your other profile photos. That's what I did because I don't want guys seeing some retarded-looking picture of me when I'm in the middle of doing my "Yo, Adrian!" Sylvester Stallone impersonation...lol.
I've had soo many guys asking me exactly where I live, about my phone number etc today. One asked lots of questions like if I'm single, what I'm looking for in a guy, when he can come visit me... and he seemed genuinely confused when I told him I can't really answer those questions.
Later he sent me this message:
"hey im sorry but since I open up your video chat and saw you I fell inlove with you well I wish u the best n hope on day I could be next to you talking and on a date having a good time"
What do they hope to gain by marketing as a dating site..?
Traffic. Specially, lonely men. Even if they don't immediately spend money on taking girls pvt to try and date us, lonely men still gotta jack off. And when they're horny and lonely, what's better than one on one time with an actual girl? (Besides escorts :P) It's about just getting their site out there, so once these guys know it exists and what it really is SM is expecting that they'll come back to spend.
I think advertising as a dating site is dumb because you get a lot of pissed of models and guys. BUT. The other day I did have someone tell me, "Wow, this was actually just like a date." He'd spent a couple of hours in my free chat hanging out and tipping me, took me for a couple of privates as well, we laughed and joked like normal when we weren't having sexy time. Over the course of two hours he ended up droppong over $100 bucks on me and he compared that amount and what we did to what would have happened if we were on a real life date. So... Yeah maybe Sm is thinking like this guy, if dudes can't get a real life date they'll settle for an online "date" with a cam girl?
Maybe that is a good theory but I think the kind of guy you had come few and far between. I think that the guys we get in our chat that come from dating sites expect us to give it all up for free because they exect us to flirt and show our goods for nothing so we can make them want to date us. Then when they found out we're pay to play they lash out and now with the new tagging its just another way for them to whine bitch and complain
I hate that they advertise on dating sites, but in all the years I've been doing this I've never seen a successful site that does not do that. Streamate does know how to drive traffic and it's up to us to figure out how to sell.
ARGGHHHH OMG my encoder won't stop crashing!!!!! >:( At first I thought it was just my webcam (I use the Logitech C910 and sometimes it can be a little touchy- like if I bump it sometimes it cuts the stream) but now I know it's not. Any ideas? Maybe I need to update it?
My old cam did this...every time I moved my computer it disconnected. When I would move it it disconnected..
It's because it's been used so long the wire connections inside the plastic wire tubes are loose....time for a new cam in that case..
The same thing happens to laptop chargers, phone chargers...anything you use enough.
Also your Internet connection might be dropping and crashing the encoder...
Last month my Internet kept doing this... I'd have high speeds then bam nothing *crash* then high speeds again
Honestly it Could either be the can or Internet... If you have an old cam maybe try t and see if it still happens..that way you'll no which..
Orr like marina said uninstall and reinstall the encoder...
It's kinda a guessing game as to which thing it could be lol
I uninstalled and re-installed the encoder and it is still getting disconnected and the stream is SO FUCKING CHOPPY and messed up like I have no idea what the fuck is wrong with it and now I'm stressing out so bad. I can't afford to buy a new webcam, I have no disposable income! I just have camming and a call center job where I only make about $130 a week or less. It was working so great this morning! I just don't know what the hell happened ;____; I'm actually sitting here crying i am so frustrated.
Is it doing this while you're streaming? Or does it happen when you just turn it on as well?
it has to be the actual webcam I think, I've had it for a few years and it's done this before- but lately it hadn't been an issue. I know it's not my internet connection. It did it a few times while I had the encoder up before I actually started streaming on SM and also while I was streaming on SM. When it wasn't cutting out the stream would freeze and be really choppy
I have had the same problem for a week it gets disconnected but the stream looks ok, I have tried many things and nothing seems to work out. I even bought a new modem, I work on naked, and I can use the encoder there without any issue, the worst thing is that SM support is almost non existent. So many girls getting issues and SM is such a big head that they don't care. Other sites do their best and help you out to sort the issues together.
I posted about something like this in another thread on here. I have the Logitech HD C910 also, and if I lift it up off my laptop while camming, my video feed will freeze up completely. Then I have to unplug the cam, replug it, and start over again. I have no idea why it does this, and it sucks to think that I may have to spend money on ANOTHER webcam if the problem really is the cam itself. :(
