    Default Ifriends

    Hi , does anyone have any experience with them? I used the search and it really didn't have anything positive to say but the threads were pretty old. Basically I would like to know if it's user friendly and the frequency of chargebacks and whether or not they did most of the promoting for you etc. From what I could understand it's geared for privates not tips and tokens which is good but maybe I misunderstood.

    I was on there a few days my room was dead...like literally 0 ppl for hours.. Exept one and he left right away. 0 privates . I seriously thought I must've been missing something. I think it's good for the veterans of the site from what I hear

    One of the original cam sites but unfortunately didn't really change with the times.

    Might be good if you have a following and can get them to join the site under your link but if not youll be sitting there all day likely with very few shows if any.

    Is that the case if you run the site in standard mode? I tried free to private a couple times, and I did have guys come by, but nobody went private in the end.

    Standard mode is pay to view I believe, ie private only mode. I have never tried that. Free to private is freechat. I like the vibe of the site, but the lack of traffic is sad.

    P.S. guys can give tips in public chat on this site.

    I finally tried it out today and I'm doing way better than I have been on Streamate because there's no frigging tech issues which is great. It's my virtual birthday on there though so that's probably why I'm doing good. My question is : is there a time when guests can't see you after you finish a private? It seemed to me I just popped out with no time to dress. Also I blocked guests from talking because I was wasting a lot of time on them. Will that effect me negatively later?

    I have been on iFriends since its inception in 1998. At that time, it was the only amateur site. Most webcam sites back then were run over in studios in Europe. It was a fabulous site back then, made money hand over fist, and at one point there would be close to if not 3000 rooms open (many were duplicate models opening multiple rooms, which many of us did not agree with, but iFriends seemed to promote, as back then, we had many different types of cams to choose from: multi angle, 3D etc). I am still on the site, and that is where I go when I do cam anymore, as I do not enjoy the free for all of sites that require free chat and this is where my regulars are and have been since I started. There is not a 30 second countdown when you do a private so that you can get yourself dressed etc again, but, if you are in Standard Mode (meaning you are not doing Free 2 Private) it really doesn't matter, as no one will see you unless they come in paid chat. If you are doing Free 2 Private and want a couple minutes to dress and freshen up, just click the PAUSE button under your video until you are ready to receive visitors again. When I sign on, I block the Guest chatters as well. Most are NOT registered, and unless you want to try and convert them, I would keep them blocked. NO, it will not affect your placement or anything else on the site, other than not having to deal with freeloaders or other models (and their studio bosses) coming in your free chat to insult you. Chargebacks or uncollected CAN be an issue on this site - when you do a show, you can open up the revenue tab below your video window and keep an eye on your earnings, as they are updated every 60 seconds. After the show, within a few minutes, you "should" see an * (asterisk) next to the amount you made IF it cleared. If it doesn't, then, you do not get paid that amount, and have to hope that iFriends can collect that $$ down the line. In the last few years, they have implemented a couple of things, the first being you will be paid for every show regardless of whether the guys card cannot be charged. But, you will need to opt in for this in your profile (not your performer name one, but a separate one you make that holds your ID verification etc) and you will only get 35% of whatever you earn, not the 50%. Second, and I have not seen this on EVERY guy who does come into my paid videochat: they tend to "ding" the guys card every say $60 or 10 minutes (there isn't an exact formula, but this is my experience). If their card declines the charge for whatever reason, they will be "KICKED" out of videochat and get a screen notifying them they need to contact iFriends. On your end in videochat, you will see in your chat area in red letters that they have been KICKED due to DECLINES. I always have to laugh at this when it happens, and am glad that they do this, as it has saved me a ton of time and energy! Some have been kicked before they even spent 2min in video! LOL You can also try to bring your own clients to iFriends, and they will charge you no commission, meaning you make 100%, but, this is very difficult to do - the guy has to have never signed up to iFriends in the almost 18 years it has been in existence, and they have to click on your link and not divert away from it (go looking around first) and then try to sign up. The site is quite dead these days, and perhaps unless you already have a following on the net or have been on the site for a long time, you probably will have some issues making the big bucks. It would be fabulous if it would come back to being the iFriends I used to know in the late 90's and early 2000's, but, other sites have eclipsed them in their viewership. Some say it is due to the clunkiness of the site, or how there are too many things to look at or click, who knows. But, traffic wise, SM, MFC and CB seem to be the new pack leaders. The thing is, with these sites, you have to be in front of the cam (well, if you want to be tipped! LOL) and be entertaining. I personally like having the ability to do other things while waiting on viewers if I sign on. Most girls keep it as their back up or splitting type site, not their primary site.

    Wow, thank you! I now feel silly that I have been waving at guests when they haven't been able to see me lol. If I can get the split camming thing straightened out with my crappy internet, I'll try doing I friends and Streamate because since that one good day it's been frigging crickets every time I logged on.

    Yeah, it is too bad that the site does not have the amount of traffic it did a decade ago, but, that is how business is! You either evolve or get run over by the new guy. I think that iFriends became complacent in their feeling they were the only site/original site/biggest site and maybe thought it would never end. Unfortunately, traffic has moved on to new venues that have a different "vibe". Good luck on iFriends, I wouldn't say do not splitcam with it, but, don't count on it bringing in the big bucks unless you can snag a few whales on there who will visit you on a regular basis

    I'm sorry to bump my ancient thread but I have a question. Is ifriends in any way connected to Clips4Sale? I have never done anything with my members account on ifriends but I thought I'd check it out today and found one of my clips there! It said I had no content but the vid was there as well as some still shots from it of my vag. I can't delete the damn thing because I supposedly have no content :/. How the Hell did this happen? It said it was from two weeks ago but I haven't even been on in a month.

    No they are not associated with clips4sale.

    Do you have the live moments enabled? If so it will put your privates in your fanclub for your members to view. You can disable it or enable it at any time (the recordings are always there but not viewable by fanclub members if disabled).

    I wonder if I did do a pvt there and immediately after filmed a clip so everything would look the same . That would explain it. I was imagining all sorts of weirdness but that would be the easiest explanation
