The content may be low-brow, but I've never liked the dynamics of SC. Although, I have heard women like me who have their "real" site and then a little SC site, and say it brings in good amounts of cash for little effort and are happy with it. I just wouldn't want someone else owning my content and having control over a web site that's supposedly made by me and from my perspective.
On a side, speaking of painfully ugly designs, I'll never understand people who judge a web girl's worth based on how poorly-done her site is. There are the "militant amateur" folk who seem to think that any site that's well-done and have decent photography is just made by some "fake porn star bimbo" and not a "real person". Isn't the very essence of being a real person the ability to learn from mistakes and get better at the things we do? There must come a point for some people where they know how to take better photos and make more user-friendly sites, and they decide to purposefully keep it crappy to not lose their "amateur" appeal. Crazy.

I dont think it's a matter of the site being crappy , I think its about the illusion of the girl being attainable.
as an amateur site becomes more and more proffesional in appearance it makes the girl appear to be less attainable > Like danny said in an earlier thread , many of the early amateur sites were started by swingers looking to show off or meet other swingers , THAT was the ultimat in attainability .
When what used to be a true amateur site in look and feel , with pics that looked like they were taking after a long night of drunk passion , only to slowely become a site were the AMATEUR frolics around in what looks like a palace or penthouse suite, you begin to loose what was once the image that "hey I could meet and bang this chick" .
