Well today i had no choice but to use hd on SM because the darn endcoder was crashing everytime i wanted to start a gold show so thought that would be okay. Normally when i check to see my placement when i log off i am on the second page with other offline models. Tonite i checked and im on the 9th page and didn't realize it would effect my placement that much. I certainly won't do that again. I have been on the site about 4 months and thought i was doing well considering all the beautiful women on there. My question is because i didn't use the encoder today, will i ever get back to where i was? or is it like MFC where you have to work your way up the ladder per say. From reading the posts about the encoder and that it doesn't affect placement now has me wondering. I guess i should of just logged off and tried tomorrow.
