SkinVideo - A new and AMAZING Cam Site

[Bocefish]

I just checked again and edited my previous post to include: Sevrin, I checked earlier today and it was secure IF you use the purchase tokens link from inside a model's room. I almost missed it too, but the padlock is in the upper right hand corner of the purchase screen. However, the special offer option on the main page is still not secure.

what the fuck is up with skinvideo.com? there is nothing special about it. its pointed more towards porn clips, dvd downloads, and them promoting the big time porn models instead of the small cam part. i mean the most i have seen on at one night on skinvideo is 4 at a time......4 at a fucking time. fucking pretty weak shit.

Obvious troll is obvious.

I'm not defending MFC's piss poor customer service relations, but keep in mind SV is basically just starting out and WANTS feedback, plus SV only has a handful of people compared to the tens of thousands MFC has.

 

[SatanJonez]

The reason MFC is shitty at response is because they have a shit load more models/members. Now, with how much money they pull in that's no excuse not to have excellent customer/model service. I would suspect they have maybe 3 people keeping the whole fucking site together (minus maybe one or two engineers). Not enough with a site that size and I honestly believe SkinVideo in the future if it gets off the ground the way MFC did will put money back into the site and make an effort to maintain the awesome customer/model service they already have.

I actually really like the lounge, but that doesn't mean that models or members should be harassed.

 

[GiaMisaki]

I haven't tried this site yet so I really have no opinion on it. But for the people bitching about the lack and models and what, I was one of the 50 or so first models on naked.com which is now a huge multimillion dollar cam site, at the most there would be 20 or so girls online at once. As a model is was amazing because I got a ton of traffic being that there were so little models on at once. Unfortunately the site started adding more and more models and there weren't enough paying customers to go around so it pretty much went down the crapper, (IMO this is what is currently happening with MFC.) I know there needs to be variety and something for everyone, but for once I'd really like to see a cam site stick with a decent amount of models and not overload the sites with thousands and thousands of girls when there really isn't enough paying members to go around. More girls + not enough members=girls going more and more for less and less AKA MFC. As a model it sucks balls to have to compete with girls willing to fist their ass in public for 100 tokens. I'm just sayin.
I'm rambling but I'm sure in a few months time, it girls stick with the site it has the potential to do well, especially with the huge number of MFC models completely fed up with the site.

Thanks Frankie for the wonderful how-to manual! Although now boys know how to get ahold of me while I am covered in paint to say "mmmm"

You may want to state that some things are not allowed on cam, real extreme stuff, like scat, fisting... yknow, still, cool post

Might be a good idea to include the rates for group and private shows too. I don't recall seeing that on the site anywhere, but may have missed it.

It seems the FAQ is only accessible if you're in a model's room. Here you go though;

How does this work?

SkinVideo cam shows come in 3 flavors: public, group, and private. Public shows are completely free and open to everybody, including non-members. Group shows cost 10 tokens per minute and can have any number of members attend the show. Private shows cost 60 tokens per minute and only have one model and one member in them.
Public Shows

Public shows are completely free to watch and chat. Models earn money by asking for token tips. Anybody can purchase tokens to tip the models with. How much you tip is entirely up to you. The more tokens you tip the model, the friskier she is likely to get!

If you haven't created an account with SkinVideo by purchasing tokens, your nickname in the public shows will be randomly selected and look something like 'anon123'. If you do purchase tokens, however, you get to select your nickname and it will remain active even when you run out of tokens.
Group Shows

Group shows cost 10 tokens per minute to watch. A member clicks on the 'request a group show' link to ask the model to perform a group show. If she accepts, the model leaves the public show and pulls the member into a new chat room. While the show is going on, the member will be charged 1 token every six seconds. The model and the member can leave the room at any time.

If other members click on the 'request a group show' or 'join a group show' link, then they will join in the running group show. The show will go on as long as there are members in the room.

Group shows are incredibly cheap! While you're in the group show, you can [and should!] still tip the model to encourage her to continue.
Private Shows

Private shows cost 60 tokens per minute to watch. A member clicks on the 'request a private show' link to ask the model to perform a private show. If she accepts, the model leaves the publich show and pulls the member into a new chat room. While the show is going on, the member will be charged 6 tokens every six seconds. The model and the member can leave the room at any time.

There is only the model and one member in a private show - nobody else may join or interrupt the show. The show ends when the model or the member clicks the link to leave it.
When do you charge my credit card?

Your credit card is charged only when you purchase tokens. There are no recurring charges associated with token purchases. When your token count reduces to 0 (from tipping a girl or from attending a group or private show), your credit card will not be automatically charged again. If you are in a group or private show you will be booted out of the show and returned to public shows.

They're working on expanding the FAQ's.

 

[melanieoncam]

Sounds good so far. I've completed the signup process but no response as of yet. (Maybe they are getting slammed with signups since these posts are so favorable).

 

[Keltik]

They are Melanie, Id really suggest a wee bit of patience with them, there has been ALOT of interest and contact over the last couple days but theyre doing their best to keep on top of it all.

 

[melanieoncam]

Ok I'm approved, whoo hoo! that was pretty fast

Setting up my embed codes for my site and getting ready to give it a try! I'll let everyone know how it goes.

 

[AlexLady]

You can increase the video size, manually. Just zoom in the page (ctrl++) and then refresh it

They're adding new features asap of course.

I got my man all signed up so he could come on cam with me! Tonight we just tried it for a bit! He had to leave shortly after I logged on... But I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty freakin' sweet that he could sit beside me and chat with people and spank me on cam!

I also gave him a quick little BJ (not to completion, hehe) in public chat... Have to say, it was super fun! Still naughty but not actually breaking any rules.

Loving this site so far! And just to keep you guys updated on the status of Kathleen... She's wicked. LOL. She's been super responsive so far and I am quite certain a lot of the changes you are all wanting are going to happen. Furthermore, even in the last few days there has been more models online! I think this trend is only going to continue.

It's pretty cool to see the girls I consider cam model celebs signed up to this site. Some of MFC's top models even.

By my estimation, about a third of SV models are also MFC models. And with MFC's continued failings, I think it will become even more in the near term.

 

[SatanJonez]

MarkAnthony. Enough said.

 

[ThePhoenixUK]

I think Skinvideo should have waited a few weeks and gotten their blurry webcam video problem fixed before they went live because a lot of the models have very poor video. I know it's not their cam because their video quality looks great on MFC. I think it's awesome they pay more than MFC to the models, who are the reason for the site to begin with and deserve every penny they make, but it's just hard for a paying customer to want to pay and tip models when their video is so bad. I know it is part of being a newer, growing cam site, just I think probably a lot of people will check out Skinvideo the first time and see how bad the video quality is and never come back, especially when there is a great site like MFC out there for the customer's cam model money.

 

[KayleeStarr]

SkinVideo isn't as amazing as you are Alex! :-D

Honestly, I always figured these things where kind of "no brainer" for most cam models, but I should add that to the guide in some big bold letters just in case.

I still think it's hilarious that breastmilk is on the list of no-nos, even paired with "scat" when listed in things that can't be shown. When women who have milk in there reach climax, more often then not it leaks.... and DUDE it's actually made specifically for humans to eat. I just think it's hilarious that's such a taboo. I breastfed my kids for over 18 months combined and it's just milk. I don't see how it's any worse than other acceptable bodily fluids. I'm not a lactation fetishist, but I am a strong believer that breastmilk is a far cry from scat [I mean one is quite essentially food, the other is definitely NOT]. I really didn't expect it to be excluded on this site anyway. I'm not overly concerned but it's just a natural female function after you've had babies....

Anyway, thanks again, Frankie, I have been linking my regulars to your info page.

I'm going to have to get some work in on my own site here soon and open it up so that I can embed my skinvideo chats there.

 

[Keltik]

Sam, the site is given rules to follow, thats why somethings arent allowed that seem kinda silly.

Also, with regards the cam quality, there is a high res option for the models to choose. They decide the quality of the video they show.

Are you kidding? Even with the high res setting the video quality is still quite shit.

 

[NaomiRose]

I use the high resolution and I really don't think it's shit. I think it could improve but it's certainly not shit in my eyes. It really depends on your upload speed as well...

Either way, some improvements need to be made, but it wouldn't make sense for them to go all out on the cam quality from the beginning if they weren't even sure the cam part of the site was going to take off or whatevs.

No one is perfect. No site is perfect. The point is, this site is TRYING it's best to be perfect for the models and members. They pay out 80% and they actually LISTEN to people. I think that's the most important thing. They also don't discriminate against males or transexuals... I understand some guys don't like this and would rather just look at girls, but there are plenty of cam sites just for you then (such as MFC). And I think these people are just uncomfortable with their sexuality anyways. If you are comfortable with your sexuality, you should have no problem that some dude likes to get himself off on cam...

I think we should all support the site for two simple reasons: they (Kathleen) care and they are not greedy (otherwise they wouldn't be giving us 80%). As far as I am concerned, cam quality comes in second to these two things and I am certain it will only continue to improve, so long as people support it. And for god sakes, all we need is some patience. What's the saying? Rome wasn't built in a day.

 

[GiaMisaki]

I don't really get all the bitching about the cam quality. There are so many models on MFC (even really popular ones who can certainly afford a good quality cam) that have terrible quality video and no one seems to mind. Not to mention that MFC crashes multiple times a day, dicking both models and members out of tokens. Maybe the quality on SV isn't perfect right now but I wouldn't really say it's much worse than MFC as a whole.

But good god it is SO nice to work on a site that doesn't have beggars and members that think they're entitled to free shows just because they spent $20 once.
