Interesting email from CamWorld
I haven't been on CamWorld (used to be PrivateCamz) since a few months after their traffic tanked with the "relaunch" what, a little over a year ago? Used to be my favorite site, 40% payout and as much traffic as Streamate? Yes please. Very sad. The relaunch was all fucked up, ruined a bunch of custies' accounts, fucked over a bunch of models and everyone deserted and took the $$ with them.
Got this email this evening. Anyone else? What do you think of it? Does it look like they're finally getting around to realizing/admitting they totally fubared it with the relaunch? Are they saying they're merging with WCC, of all sites? What do you think?
Hello to My Valued Performers,
Sorry if some of you did not get the notice that was sent out.
We have made a choice to take our script down to re-launch as a free cam platform. We have had too many issues as some of the performers know with the new script. The problem was in the integration of the new script with the old and how it was intermingled. The decision to use WebCamClub.com as a platform for our program was an easy one for the following reasons:
1. We needed to take our site down to force all legacy programs (AmateurCamZ/PrivateCamZ/PornstarCamZ) that Camworld was dependent on to break so we can address them properly.
2. We are going to re-launch Privatecamz as a free cam service, with premium up-sell opportunities.
3. Members have all been migrated into the new system and are awaiting the performers they are used to.
4. Performers release is not ours but WebCamClub/DatingGold's and they have their own and need to as you can imagine for their 2257 requirements. We unfortunately do not control the verbage of that agreement.
5. Affiliates still have their Members and our NATS is tracking all traffic and future rebuys/rebills, so to reitterate, sales are posting correctly.
6. Conversions are way up at 1/30 free join to paid and 1/970 raw to paid.
7. DateCamCash will continue to pay out at the same rates we were.
8. Performers that were on CamWorld now have that added benefit of WebCamclub's additional traffic and member base.
9. Those that would like to continue to have a platform for their one hour shows in members are have that ability with the new plug in once their new performers account is active.
My sincere apologies to all of the performers who feel left out of the loop, we have always done our best to look at our business with your interests in mind and many times at the detriment of our bottom line, as you are aware. I know that you as performers and affiliates have seen a big change in revenue > hits > time on site with the new platform, hence my need to make this change now.
We are not hiding or stealing from anyone and will always do the right thing. I have 12 years in this business and plan on at least another 12 years. Rest assured that everyone will be taken care of. This is a win win for everyone.
If anyone has any questions or would like to speak to me personally I am available (although busy as you can imagine).
I look forward to re-launch or PrivateCamZ and AmamteurCamZ in the near future with an updated format, until then let’s all make some money with the better conversions and bonus traffic we are getting.
Please refer to this link for what needs to be done to get your account approved and active on the new platform: http://www.camworldtraffic.com/model-migration/
Thanks and Best Regards,
Daniel Hogue

I never read the email that came in I just ignored it from the looks of it they could use more english instead of their webmaster lingo. and with this industry being feast or fame they should have acted sooner.
Re: Interesting email from CamWorld
WCC sucks and CamWorld owes me $150. Two shitty companies merging form an even more imperfect union? Imagine that!

yes I got this - and have looked like this >:( since I got it. I think theyre just using WCC's script, which already sucks and has limited categories. Everyone has to reapply basically from what I read - except the handful of people it seems he personally contacted who are currently live? Or maybe they were faster to ask him wtf happened so he sent out a mass email.
Or did they merge? Good question, I may have read it too quickly.
I hope the archives are retained at least, but the site should just go bellyup.
This is "relaunch" #3 by my count... more maybe? He's losing customers, affiliates (c4s being their biggest one, now it AmateurFetishCams is just a vanilla wasteland and since there are no niche categories), and above all models left and right.
... I have nothing insightful except I just want punch him in the face TBH haha. It used to be a decent site but the constant overhauls and script revamping.... Blech. Basically I agree, RIP CW.
Re: Interesting email from CamWorld
^I agree. Just kill it and start a whole new one. Pathetic.
Back when they could still afford a guy to mod the hour long amateurcamz show he told me that the guy who was updating the script for them was taking months longer than he said he'd take and then tried to hold the script hostage for more money. They said go fuck your mom we'll use the last test draft of the script you gave us and push it live.
It blew up. They went back to him and said, "Ok! Ok! We'll pay you, fix it!" He said, "HA HA! Idiots, now I want double the money I said I wanted and/or part ownership." and they told him well fine, they'd hire another developer or fix it themselves.
As they say on NPR, "and now you know, the REST of the story!"
