LOL wut silly Streamate..
LOL I just got gold shows enabled today. Keep in mind ladies I do not use that piece of shit encoder. Never have never will. Oooh and when I stream I'm usually always on page 2 or the bottom of page 1 depending on the time of day.
Encoder Myth debunked! Fuck you encoder. hahaha. :P

Yeah, I don't blame you. I hated using that damn encoder too.
Re: LOL wut silly Streamate..
I don't use the encoder either, but I have gold shows enabled and I even have the encoder icon next to my profile pic when I'm online! Im not complaining but the weird thing is every now and then a guy will complain that my cam quality is poor and I need to use the encoder then if I ask other guys in the room at the same time they tell me it's crystal clear! I have come to the conclusion that the ones complaining are the ones using a crappy computer or internet provider, but you can't tell a guy it's his equipment thats substandard ;)
Re: LOL wut silly Streamate..
As mentioned in other posts, the encoder allows SM to take some of the bandwidth responsibilities off themselves and place that responsibility on the model. So if you have a crappy internet connection, using the encoder might actually make your stream worse. They are probably just telling people that they have to use the encoder because making models believe it's better for themselves (the models) will get more compliance than saying "I know we take 35% of your check, but we don't want to pay to have more bandwidth, so please give us a break, everyone pitch in, and use the encoder. Thanks."
Also, I have to wonder if so many people are using the encoder now that it's actually getting better (stream wise), to not use the encoder. I stream better with the encoder, but do what works for you.
Thank you for debunking the myth that you HAVE to use the encoder to do gold shows tho.
Re: LOL wut silly Streamate..
I don't honestly understand why some people hate the encoder....? It's so super simple to set up and use.... I've never had a single issue with it. So weird....
BUT YAY on Gold Shows!!! :D welcome to the dark side.... ;)

Thanks :P I honestly hate the encoder because my computer can't handle it. If I had a better computer I wouldn't hate it. lol
Re: LOL wut silly Streamate..
Same for me... My CPU usage gets eaten right up with the encoder..and there is no way I could splitcam. Literally jumps right up to 90% even when I adjust to their recs. Screw that.

Same... I'm NOT going to use the encoder this month for those reasons.
Re: LOL wut silly Streamate..
Do you have to be camming on Thursday DAY to get goldshows enabled? WTF I have been camming for like 7 months and still dont have goldshow approval!
Re: LOL wut silly Streamate..
Also what happens once ur approved? Does SM send you a email or anything? or do you just stream with "party chat" and it shows up at the top?

Noez, you do not need to be working on Thursday to get it enabled. They just randomly select models who fit the criteria on Thursday. Once you are approved you will get a e-mail in your models account telling you that you are approved for gold shows.
Once you are approved you will see see a gold bar next to your live show/ settings/ help bar on the top left hand corner.
Honestly, I am REALLY shocked I got approved for them.
