You and I are pretty alike when it comes to how we run our sites, I think. I give you major kudos for putting your foot and and stopping answering non-member emails, too. It's so time-consuming, and even though I'm actually a nice person who likes feedback and chat, I can't devote a chunk of my day to talking to people who aren't respecting my time by paying for it.
Back to the issue at hand, I honestly question how big of a retention device access to a cam network is for sites like ours, and if so, why not just lease feeds instead of dealing with the stress of working on a network? I'd spend a hundred bucks a month to make my members happy and to take the stress of big group shows out of my life.
I've been putting up with this for a while, thinking that it's just a part of life, but I'm really starting to see that I'm just *settling for it*, like a virtual abusive boyfriend or something. I run my own business, so why on earth and I doing something that can feel so dehumanizing?
I realize that I'm an entertainer and I am paid to be hot and get guys off, but it's entirely possible to do that on my own terms, and it sucks that the cam medium doesn't really allow for that as much. *All* the networks seem to have this, with *all* the shows. Somewhere, somehow, "we" started to let them behave like this, because they surely don't behave like this via email or on my private message board.
Anyhow, I do also get guys who love seeing me bitch someone out, and chatters who pipe up all the time and tell some jerk to be nice and respect me. Those are the people I want to cater to and please.
