How long have the longest cam girls been around?

[MilaRose]

Just curious how long some of you girls and guys have been caming for as I have no idea personally how long I can stay relevant for. Any long term success stories?

 

[Deleted member 37064]

There's a few of models on MFC who have been around for 9 years or more.

 

[ElaySmith]

I started in 2008 so 11 years and no plans to stop any time soon.

 

[MilaRose]

That's awesome! I really wouldn't mind joining the veteran cam girls one day.

 

[LaceyRoyce]

I know a model on Twitter that's going on 15 years. This Oct wil make 9 for me

 

[LilyPink]

9 years this July for me. I took two long breaks to work on TV and to study which helped with longevity energy.

 

[Mila_]

It's 6 years for me... don't ever wanna stop

 

[SMuser69]

Man to think Dani's Hard Drive was all the way back in 1995.

 

[AudriTwo]

I know of a couple who are real OG. One girl started in 1999, the other early 2000s.

Forgot to add: I'm on my 6th year.

 

[curvyredhead]

next month makes 10yrs for me

 

[JoleneBrody]

9 years in September here

 

[CatOwned]

My psychic says I was a camgirl in a past life. Had the best Morse code show on the telegraph.



(My psychic also predicted I would tell a dad joke today.)

 

[Pia]

I feel like a silly duckling compared to u people.

1 year 6 months.

It would be a great resource if the "olde time models" created a special thread on AFC with tales and testimonies from the old days. It's important to keep the old stories alive to be passed on to new and future generations.

"Webcams??? We didn't have webcams back in my early days. You had to take ten pictures per minute with an instamatic camera and then post them and hope you had a reasonable stream. When webcams came in, it was luxury."

"Dildos were scarce back in those times. I remember whittling the leg of an old chair with a penknife into a lifelike toy. Lasted best part of a year until the woodworm got the better of it. They don't know they're born these days with hitachis and lushs and whatnot."

tales and testimonies from the old days

MFC stuff:

1. there was no browser based broadcaster
2. there was a whole separate homepage for Asian models because there were so many (mostly studios which caused legal issues eventually)
3. you could actually get warned/banned for using toys in the public chat
4. you could finish top 3 Miss MFC with under 400,000 tokens (Now that may put ya in the top 100 or so, but the site is dying, amirite? )

Anywho... this August will be 10 years for me. I think there are only a handful of other models that have been on MFC as long/longer than me who are still actively camming there.

It's honestly astounding to me to see women who have been doing this longer than I even knew what porn was, and they still rock it and look great.

Like, some of the women here have been doing this since I was in middle school and it's so intimidating, like I feel like I have big shoes to fill. O_O

 

[curvyredhead]

Isome of the women here have been doing this since I was in middle school

I'll take reasons I feel old for 500, Alex

lol

 

[LittleLei]

Going on year 6 for me.

 

[Carmita Bonita]

I'm at year 6 as well it really hasn't felt like 6 years at all wtf

We need a cam model yearbook lmao

Oh my god. This would be amaaaaazing! When I look through the Archives, I get so nostalgic when I see old posts from people who aren't around any longer, and then I smile really big when I look at big posts that spark happy memories! Now I'm just imagine pulling down an ACF yearbook and looking at all the signed, silly messages and inside jokes! And being able to see the new faces emerge, year after year, watching us all evolve and grow! Ah, happy thoughts!

 

[Carmita Bonita]

Same! I love digging through the old stuff and seeing how much everyone has grown! @paige_orion an ACF yearbook would be amazing and hilarious lol

 

[BiancaBaker]

March 8th made 7 years full time for me! no stopping ever for me, I'm a lifer.

 

[AJLive]

I started January 2013 so six years. I got fired from my outside job I wanna say 2015 so full time going on 4 years.

 

[LacieLaPlante]

Started in May 2010. I wouldn't call myself a "success story" so much as - I've been doing well enough to pay all my bills and such for the whole time. I've been on a ton of vacations. I don't feel like I deeply desire anything I don't currently have, honestly. Is that success?

 

[MilaRose]

This has been really inspiring, I honestly didn't expect to see so many cam girl vets, especially not so many 9 years+! I would actually love to read through an AFC tales and testimony thread that would be entertaining and eye opening.

Lacie I would say yes because simply working as your own boss brings so much more freedom than a standard 9-5 job especially in fields/companies that experience a lot of letting go, regardless of how well off/average the income is. Then again, I don't have much experience to back anything I say up haha.. ^-^;

 

[Remykins]

Going on 14 years for me.

 

[EllaGray]

This is my 6th year of camming...what even. Its crazy to me honestly, but I'm so glad to have found it.

 

[SaffronBurke]

It'll be 8 years in July for me.

I'll take reasons I feel old for 500, Alex

lol

Same, omg. That, combined with the knitting and the fact that I *actually* have a cane to shake at the young whippersnappers.... I think I've reached peak granny

 

[curvyredhead]

I remember watching a doc years and years ago.....it talked about the first couple of cam girls from the 90s.
I believe one was like jennycam and the other was like anacam
I can't remember the exact details.....but i remember them saying that one of them was the first to be banned from paypal....which shows how far back the paypal/camgirl thing goes.

 

[LilyPink]

@curvyredhead On the Reply All podcast they managed to catch up with Jennicam years later and she's just an ordinary person now.. no cams and quite secretive.

I remember back when we had to count a topic goal manually and we did a tip war before Charlsebot and had to continuously count and update the topic.
