RE: How to get rid of
Coffee without caffeine? Yeah sure, try cigarettes without nicotine while you are at it.
RE: How to get rid of
Tea would be a good substitute and it contains anti-oxidants plus the caffeine. If you withdraw from any caffeine drink, be aware that at first you will encounter headaches because caffeine is a vaso-dilator.
RE: How to get rid of
When I gave up caffeine, I felt the same way... lethargic and fatigued... had the worst headaches of my life too.
Having given it up caffeine and not feeling dependent upon it anymore just to function and feel normal is great though.
If you want to kick the habit, that's great, just be prepared for the habit to kick you around for a few days until the physical addiction is broken :)

RE: How to get rid of
Jeez girl you don't have to worry too much about two cups a day. I think many hosts are on around two cups an hour. But if you want to quit then switching first to caffeine free is a good option.
RE: How to get rid of
1-2 cups insn't bad for the body and the main problem with theeth is not brushing soon afterwards, letting the sugar and color remian to sink into your chompers.
Drink the coffee, just brush soon afterwardds.

RE: How to get rid of
Only 1 or 2 cups a day? Oh Gorty, stop worrying please!!! Don't fall for this neurotic everything-is-bad-for-you mania so prevalent today. I drink coffee and tea all day, smoke, drink red wine and malt scotch, make love like an 18 year old and know I will live to be 105. :-))
RE: How to get rid of
Gortensia, you are addicted to coffee, nor do you drink enough of it to be called a bad habbit.Like everything the secret is moderation. I have read some positive health bennifits of coffee,can't find them now so this is all I'm going to say on that.
I drink atlease 10 cups of coffee a day and have been know to drink 30 cups by 10:00 am.
If you are worried about it then quit, but everything to excess is always harmful to you. Remember you can worrt about everything harming you but in the end you will die.

RE: How to get rid of
dude, calm down...... with that much caffeine in your system you're liable to stroke-out if you get too agitated.
RE: How to get rid of
To me - 1 to 2 cups is not enough to make a big difference in your health. I love coffee and I am not going to stop drinking it and I like it without anything else in it. Just black
RE: How to get rid of
just to confuse the issue even more, nbew studies show that both coffee and tea help reduce the chances of getting colon cancer. ofc this information is useful only to those who follow every contradictory study that comes out. next year they will tell us that it's the worst thing you can drink sort of like when they told us that olive oil was bad for you and two years later claimed it's the best thing in the world
Russians rescued after missing for 3 months
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian rescuers on Friday saved 11 people stranded for nearly three months in a remote area of the Pacific coast after a fishing trip went wrong, local media reported.
The group had survived by eating flour they scavenged from a deserted military base, hunting for game and burning furniture for fuel and heating, the Vesti-24 television station reported.
Their two boats were damaged in a storm on October 10 during a fishing expedition off the Kamchatka Peninsula.
One vessel was lost and they were unable to repair the second, forcing the group, which included three women, to remain in their makeshift shelter with no way of calling for help.
When their food supplies started to run low, they sent five of their party to seek help. After walking for four days, the five found a military unit which then sent for help.

A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU!!
I just wanted to take the time ( and I KNOW I will get all kinds of stupid, bitchy replies from closed minded people here ) to say THANK YOU SO MUCH to ALL the girls here at CC, (although it's only a small percentage unfortunately), who refuse to conform to society's immature and irrational parameters on female beauty and femininity by NOT shaving their armpits. I must extend a special mention to the ladies here who are from South Africa, not one I have visited from there shaves. I'm sure I speak for all the guys here who DO appreciate this aspect that sadly SO few of the hostesses posess. Yes, guys I know your're out there. There is plenty of evidence out there on the net to support this. We just have to keep working hard to change the brainwashing of so many others out there who think that female armpit hair is unattractive and/or unhygenic and/or unfeminine. That, not all of us guys like our women's bodies to have the smooth, sleek appearance of a 10 year old!! All the Natural Gals here at CC....PLEASE STAY NATURAL!!!!
RE: A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU!!
Reminds me of my first girlfriend. She had hairy underarms and no, she wasn't a ladyboy, I checked.
RE: A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU!!
Yes actually I do, I keep it very clean. Same as a girl who doesn't shave her armpits, if she baths she won't smell.
RE: A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU!!
The Central Committee and Komrade Noisy cannot allow this comment to stand unchallenged. You have failed to register this complaint properly. It should be submitted to us for our consideration.
RE: A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU!!
Wanda you are wrong.It was never funny.Just another post without any real thought or effort put into it.
RE: A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU!!
I think it funny, EVERYONE is enitiled to post thier view on something, you can't only have the ones that are in-step with your way of thinking. Now if you excuse me, I'm late for my book burning of the month club.
RE: A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU!!
Well it was meant to be serious but if you see humor in it no problem there!!
RE: A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU!!
Since you are so against smooth, sleek appearances, perhaps you would like them to have beards and back hair as well. Do you also hold such strong opinions regarding the removal of leg hair?
RE: A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU!!
Well seeing as 99.9% of females don't have beards or back hair that question really is irrelevant. I am talking about the 99.9 % of women who have the ability to grow their underarm hair or hair anywhere on their bodies. Your 2nd question IS a good one however. I don't mind hairy legs on women at all!! Put it this way: You like your women smooth I assume? No problem, but, what if you and a beautiful woman were stranded on a deserted island somewhere where she would not have ANYTHING to shave her armpits, pubic or leg hair? Would you refuse to have sex with her after a month or 2 when she becomes hairy? If you have ANYTHING close to what my sex drive is I think not! Same for her: She may not like guys with facial hair of any type but you can damn well bet she will learn to like it or at least accept it. Think about it!!
RE: A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU!!
I don't have to think about it. I just don't foresee being stranded on an island. However, in the unlikely event such a scenario were to unfold, well, i can start a fire and burn the body hair off of her...it can be done.
RE: A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU!!
I'm not a long-term member, maybe 2 years or so. I will say as a rule my favorite women on this site hail from South Africa. Large, beautiful, sexy, brown, voluptuous, and sometimes hirsute women....ahhhhh!
To Hosts
We hear so much about 'rude' members. What percentage of members do you consider rude? The way you talk it sounds like 90% when in fact I would guess a very smal number like 5% or less. And, just what do you consider to be rudeness? Help us understand what you mean please.
RE: To Hosts
well let me say this. based on the amount of complaining i would have thought it was a much higher percentage. do you hosts think its that different in real life? if you were working retail, as i am familar with, the percentage would be much higher. some of you need a good dose of reality. you would want to turn the rating system around for less than 5% of the population of viewers? you should be thankful that over 95% of viewers are not rude. get on your knees and do something besides.......
to "MissCBT"
No, the 2% of rude members is in line with the low percentage of money-grubbing hosts. The vast majority of these girls are spectacular.
RE: To Hosts
What is intended as a joke gets interpreted as rudeness sometimes. For example, British irony not much appreciated beyond my native shores. Generally CC is good-humoured. A Thai chatroom I went to, they tore each other to pieces. CC has something special despite the way we all moan about it at times.
RE: To Hosts
"may be cause i am sweet and positive"
From how i know you , never been like this...you were bitching many hosts around here, specially some of popular ones. You even admit it, but whatever you say...

for me - maybe 2%! But what I find rude is "flashing money" to my face or "not believing me when I say no-nude show" or phrase "you know you wish to show me" - lol;
Anyway I would like to thank here for all those nice members here - understanding and caring no matter that is just a virtual world:)

RE: To Hosts
I think in the way you phrase your comments. I was brought up to respect other people, so i say "With all due respect, you look like a horse's ass". You'd be suprised how many rude comebacks I get. I mean I did say "With all due respect", didn't I?
Some people are still rude,, sheezzz

RE: To Hosts
I'm sorry, I'll have to be more rude in the future. I'm ruining the reputations of Americans and millions of New Yorkers. I've been neglectful of my duties and as they said put it in Ghost Busters II, "The God given right of every New Yorker to treat other people like dirt." I'll make it a point not to treat anyone with respect anymore, lest I be mistaken for someone from Massachusets. Please don't revoke my "Official F'in' NYer" membership card.

RE: Who..
It varies from day to day, week to week, month to month. I can tell you that Comm Chat is not as good, in general, as it was a couple of years ago. Still some nice, smart, clever people show up from time to time but usually it is the usual group of self promoting morons.
RE: Who..
Dunno about most famous but my all time favourites are member the late-lamented DarkMystery and the very much alive and well, bless her, host CrystalDream. Just asking myself if I'm a self-promoting moron - sobering thought! Agree very much with Well that chat was a lot more fun before - I joined mid-2005.
Notable past characters: locorio, Vippur, WildNomad, Johnzon, EnchantGirl, AmazingAnne, JigglyJugs and I even miss VeryAngelo! CC were too heavy-handed in banning the most entertaining if admittedley the most outrageous. Chat is mostly so nicey-nicey now it bores me to tears. Still there is always the hru?, what ur name?, come to vid bb brigade to keep it going. ;-)

how do you know chat was more fun before you joined mid 2005? remember nick,a pissed ally is a cool ally,so get away from those sobering thoughts :--)
RE: Who..
Oh, my punctuation let me down! I meant it was a lot of fun when I first joined. I remember an all-nighter commchat that was like a particularly good party. Johnzon was there at his surreal best........
RE: Who..
no nick your punctuation was fine.just me being a buffoon.i haven't been to chat much lately but i know i had some great laughs in there with the pot-pourri of characters who frequent chat.guess i should go again soon.maybe this weekend.still nick try to keep those sobering thoughts to a minimum :--)

RE: Who..
Seems like Angelo left CC. He's no longer listed as a host. Hope he bought himslef his own bar in Miami or something. Anyways, wish him the best.
RE: Who..
I could ask was it a six pack? But I won't, I wish him all the best. We never did fix up that fishing trip together.
RE: Who..
anon, you Angelo? Thanks for your replies if you are or not. I actually care about VA. He was a damn sight more fun in chat than the boring nobodies who put him down. And also, he was a very genuine man but not one to tell you about his good deeds.
RE: Who..
same ones there every day like homeless people. same pests (hi hun babes). aint what it used to be.
survey! the question is....
Well, i guess cc does not offer any statistics, but...
How many ppl out of 100 go to NA video instead of A categories?
Any ideas? I think its 1 of 100. Text chat does not count.

how do u google it? what do u do to see if they are scammer? what do u type in google to find if they are
RE: Guys
Some dating/marriage sites have blacklist with photos/info of people known to be running scams. Just google "dating blacklist" or "dating scams"
RE: Guys
well how about this, i know the girl very very well, and i trust her completely, if is mistake let me make it, its no different than any girl meet anyway else ;-)
RE: Guys
Email addresses are easier to change than your underwear. Not a good way to check. I would use the general rule that you are being scammed if you are asked for money or anything of value. More often than not for sure.
RE: Guys
listen i know a bunch of grls here that r very skilled at not asking directly but indirectly for money...guys fall for it everytime.
RE: Guys
Why is it that whenever I see an on-topic, thoughtful post by "Well", there always seems to be a reply by you serving no other purpose but to slag the guy?
Can you stop doing that please?

RE: post abt cam2cam in viewer forum
Anyone who claims to speak for all hosts in that way deserves to be bitten. There are definitely many hosts who like cam2cam. For some it is just to see who they are talking to, others like to see that the customer is "satisfied".
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
One point, however.I would suspect that the majority of members and hosts do not read or contribute to the various forums. In seeking nominations for the committee representatives, therefore, it would be necessary to trawl the proposal on a wider basis than just through the medium of the forum themselves. If CC are in agreement with the idea, perhaps they could send a CC mail to all registered users (hosts & members) to outline the proposal & process to be followed, even though what then follows will be independent of them.
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
You have posted a thoughtful message although I would guess it is motivated more by your distaste for the private voting system than anything benevolent. On the other hand, as you are a host, it is not unexpected. If you really look at the reasons that hosts do not want voting to be private, it is not based on a way to improve their performance. Many would use the tool to punish viewers who vote 1 star by blocking them or king about them in chat host forum. I can tell you from my own experience that I have gotten nasty emails from hosts who thought (yes thought) that I had given them a low rating. Apparently even with a visible voting system some hosts could not count accurately or presumed in error.
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
Bad idea, trying to build some elite commitee of 5 members and 5 host to represent the masses. CC is doing fine without this "dream team". If a member or host has a concern/problem, there is direct access to the staff via the suport line.
Also, do you know how many long-term members would be offended when they are kindly set aside?
"We realize you have been a paying member for 5+ years and post all the time, but we are going to go with member x, cause his input is more valuable than yours." I bet that guy dosen't need a dose of rejection here, he gets plenty of that in real life...lol.
I'm sure you have good intentions, but if you have some buring desire to improve Cc, why not just send them an e-mail with your ideas?

evening things out in your opinion is tantamount 'what's mine is mine and what's yours is negotionable'. you are a one note host. give it up babe.
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
I admit that I am not in favor of her proposal....frankly I don't even care enough. Got to say this though, at least she expresses herself clearly and intelligently...I'm sure you know what I mean?
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
Unfortunately you have misrepresented the previous visible system. Names of viewers were never present and yet hosts still couldn't get it right. At least be honest in presenting your position.
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
How about this, you can be the un-official spokesperson for those that want one, post your e-mail or cc name along with a "if you have concern tell me about it and I will tell cc" message and you will be happy and the rest of use can go on with our daily lives. Or start out in you own "backyard" tell your fellow hosts to come to you with thier problems.
Good luck, you're going to need it.
Good luck, you're going to need it.
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
For some unknown reason CC has blocked my post, so let me try again and add a comment.
First who are you toforce me to filter my comments, suggestions, complaints and even compliments through your committee. CC has an e-mail address and we all know what it is. And let me add that in the six-plus years I have been a member here I have seen many suggestions/complaints acted on and many changes backed-off of.
Additionally, if the star rating system is your main complaint you are misguided as you may note as many viewers - myself included - have plainly stated that we ignore them or even purposely choose the lowest-starred girls first. The ONLY thing the stars effectively do is put the host in star-order in the "Who's online now?" list.
For you or anyone to tell me how to award stars is the same as telling me how to vote. If I want to vote so as to harm Clinton's chances who are you to say I can'tdo that? If I want to pay money in order to earn a star-giving opportunity to award 1 star to a host that's my business.

RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
hi noseybird
you have thought about this hard, and made some good sugestions, so well done. however, i have a problem with how we would vote for the members in the committee.
most people on this site hav'nt a clue about any of the viewers. even the people who post here dont know eachother. most dont post under their name (me included), so there are only a few people we are are actually awear of. and to be honest i wouldnt wont some of these to represent me. so how can we fairly choose?
also, unfortuantly, i wouldnt think enough members here would be all that bothered about it to be honest. i would expect many come, do their thing, and go, and havnt even read the forums
you have some good ideas and if you and the others here can come up with a fair way to choose and get around a few problems, that would be great.
keep up the good work noseybird

RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
Sorry but I don't really like the idea. From the postings in the forum there are very few members I would trust to properly represent my opinions. In my opinion several changes which were made to the site following member forum campaigns have had unforeseen consequences and I believe should not have been made. I feel a committee such as you propose may increase this. Members and hosts can communicate directly with CC by email and indirectly in the forum.
Regarding the rating system I certainly agree some refinement is necessary. I have no problem with a host knowing how I rated her and I feel the host should at least be able to see her last 10 ratings, as was possible until recently. I believe that the automatic 1 star rating if a host has a technical proble with her PC or connection is too severe. The one star rating should only happen after 3 or 4 members have tried to connect and failed. There is the other issue that the inability to connect may be due to a problem on the members side. It should be possible for a host to appeal against a bad rating and have it removed if the grounds seem reasonable. In any such appeal the onus should be on the host to show that the rating was not reasonable. Suitable grounds would be if the member asked the host to do something that was not alowed by CC rules, or was rude and abusive, the host did all that the viewer requested.

Just what we need - more egocentric, power-mongering bureaucrats to (mis)-manage a service that is already run quite Ok co-operatively by the 'owners', the members and the hosts with a 'light touch'.
I deal with this sort of BS all day and DON'T need 'structure' and 'autonomy' at the place I visit for relaxation.
I vote a resounding 'No thank you'.

Completely off thread, but not heard Simone's version; how does it compare with Billie Holiday's?
"Strange Fruit"
"Strange Fruit" began as a poem written in 1937 by Abel Meeropol, a Jewish schoolteacher from the Bronx, about the lynching of two black men. He published under the pen name Lewis Allan.
The song became an instant success when it was first recorded in 1939 by Billie Holiday. Numerous other singers have performed it, including Josh White, Sting, Robert Wyatt, UB40, Tori Amos, Pete Seeger, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Cassandra Wilson, Nina Simone (on Pastel Blues), Lester Bowie, Antony and the Johnsons, Jeff Buckley, Cocteau Twins, Sounds of Blackness, This Bike is a Pipe Bomb, John Martyn, The Twilight Singers, Karate, and Tcheky Karyo (in Ce lien qui nous unit) and remixed by Tricky.

RE:
Thanks for the info, I am familiar with wikipedia:--) but I was actually asking for a critical comparison between the 2 versions.
RE:
usually better to go with the interpretation of the original recording artist except in rare cases and in this case without listening to the others topping works by billie might be difficult
i offer
I offer no "comparison," only the fact that it is not a recent Nina Simone song, but a 1937 Abel Meeropol poem.
RE: i offer
i just used the reference because the original tread made me feel like sucide.....and i belive "sucide is painless" (lets start another) lol
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
what the heck rights are you talking about? in my opinion hosts have many more rights than viewers. if you are gonna present a idea at least elaborate on why you need to know votes. so you can ban those viewrs as some hosts would have it?
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
Cool, you want to form union for members and hosts where we can air our grievences to the elected board members. Just a few questions, will there be by-laws, how often will board elections take place, what are the union dues, will we get an official bumper sticker showing we are union members, can we have a secret handshake to use between us?
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
Bonjour Monsieur Banana,
Obviously there would be T-shirts to wear, caps and trousers with our logo down the side... although we can only have one leg fully down. We would hold international elections through CNN every Friday night and one of us would become spokesperson (I vote you... a talking banana would capture the worlds attention no doubt). The only rules are that we should all have some asparagus in salty water in front of us during meetings and we have to wear our uniform with pride! Lol And the secret handshake.. well .. it’s a secret .. clearly! Lol
To be honest I have no idea... I don’t know if you got to the bottom of the last major post but after reading everyone's reply it really does seem like it would cause more problems than it would prevent. Which is a shame really. It was an idea a couple of us had and thought I would ask everyone’s opinion. Well, those who could be arsed to read and reply anyway! Lol
Thanks for taking the time to reply anyway.

RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
If voting becomes public to hosts, I will have 2 options.
1) not vote
2) not come
1) not vote
2) not come
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
noone wants the star rating named if tahts what you mean... it would be a bad idea. That was never a proposal. Just so you know x
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
No, I meant if it becomes visible to hosts like previous. Those are still my 2 options.
dear "MadisonLee"
Your "boss" is not CC. You are an independent contractor who works for yourself (or possibly a studio).
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
Yes, I have the right to be rude if I have a pissy mood. You can't stop me. What is your option? The host has the right to overrule any vote they don't like?
You seem to seek the overthrow of the system here. Why don't you simply start your own video chat site where the hosts rate their own performances?

RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
thinking that is hosts aim. to rate themselves or throw out all ratings they dont like
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
I want to thank you nosey for starting an intelligent discussion...some more intelligent than others here : ) I for one appreciate your views and especially how you present them. Thanks again...kiss : )
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
thankyou... that was really appreciated. It seems however that some people will only see what they want to see in a post... or interpret them in the wrong way. No matter how shiny and clear you are. You would think after 6 years here I would know better!! Never mind though! At least I asked! thankyou again... it is me that is grateful, nosey xxx
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
It is strange to read through the thread and try to follow the comments of so many (by name) and yet it appears the input of so few (by writing style). No matter how good an idea, for which I congratulate the effort made to raise the discussion, I don't believe it is an attainable goal in a representative format. The simple fact that you are going to ask people to vote to install individuals (who to be properly represented during election will have to openly state who they are and why they feel they will be representative, i.e. hustings) who they have never met or spoken to and that quite obviously post under multiple names (for the majority, apologies to those who believe they don't) then it will not be representative in any way.
How do you propose to collect views and ideas and schedule "committee" meetings, especially since you will need representation from around the world and a mixture of cultures. I mean - the CC community is global and should be represented as such.
I believe that a company such as CC - who have proved themselves more than capable of supporting the masses and have also shown themselves as actively reading the forum through their intermittent input, should be left to run their own company with the continuing success they have shown so far!!
I hope some members (hosts and viewers) agree!

RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
Well for first time I agree with you. I would further add that any forum should be totally uncensored. Despite our different opinions, I applaud your effort. And, in reading your posts, you have in a sense incorporated some viewers points. You must remember that we are on the other side of the screen and view a different picture that you are not exposed to. Your opinions are respectful unlike some of your cohorts (calling viewers stupid).
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
The forum should be totally uncensored ?
Would you be happy with cc disclosing your name and address to me should I deem your post defamatory ?

new forum is in order...just for suggestions
And of course the new forum will be rigidly enforced by the Gang of Six so that nobody can say anything they don't approve of.
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
Noseybird,
Could I suggest either a final or interim solution until you work out the detail. If CC are going to have forums and you want a way of proposing and discussing changes... why not have a Forum for change suggestions with a limited life span for discussion threads? No reason to make them unreadable but do stop people adding to them - maybe after 7 days, 14 days or 28 days, let CC decide how long. This way people have their say, those that are interested will read the Proposal Forum, those that don't care will have their choice.
Sorry, not trying to say how it should be, just proposing potential ways forwar and still leaving the owning company in charge.

ooops...
You still want to leave the company in charge? That's not quite what "noseybird" has in mind. Didn't you read that she wants the Gang of Ten (sorry, I said Gang of Six before) to run the rating system and also the forums? I expect she'll want CC to surrender the keys to the executive washrooms next and also determine the profit margin that's allowed.
RE: ooops...
If you're going to reply at least have the decency to read what you are replying to.
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
Perfect! I didnt think for one second that anyone whould take any kind of control from CC all I was asking for was a clearer voice in being able to express our concerns or suggestions. But I think you already new that. A couple of weeks would give everyone enough time to get in and have their say... and people could take it or leave it. The idea of this thread was to get other people involved and I thankyou for being one of the few who took it as it was intended. For those that are here daily, who spend their hard earned money and earn their money the hard way... I would have thought that they would want to be more involved in how their community grows. Sad to see they are not. But it is ultimately their choice. Again thankyou so very much, whether you have agreed or not, it doesnt matter. You took the time to read things, you have been respectful andpolite... such a shame not everyone can be that way. You are a credit to CC. And nope.. Im not arse kissing! lol Im just honest. Kind Regards, Noseybird x
buy some . . .
CC is not a governmental entity that requires a governmental body. I suggest your real option is to buy enough stock in the parent company and elect enough members to the board of directors to force your view on the company.
RE: buy some . . .
we didnt want a governing body at all... it was just a way of presenting the ideas and suggestions to the company in a more balanced way. It was never about acheiving autonomy but that seems to have been missed. And if I had that kind of money.. you think I would put up with this for a living? lol thankyou though. .. and whos charles schwab?
RE: buy some . . .
schwab is another stock brokerage company with a long list of legal problems past and present
RE: buy some . . .
You seek to control implementation and use of the star system. You seek to control access to CC with complaints, comments and suggestions. You seek a committee of ten to monitor and approve access to a new forum. Hosts and members already have autonomy. Neither are required by rule or contract to be here. And allof us have free access to make suggestions and complaints, either in public in these forums or in comm chat, or in private by e-mail.
RE: buy some . . .
What makes you think CC wants you/us/we to make concerns "more condensed and succinct for them"? Did you ask them? Did they contact you?
You do realize they see ALL the posts submitted (not just the ones that make it through). You seem like a smart preson, why not just contact them on your own with your ideas & concerns and forget this need to create a quasi-governing body made up of host and members that may or maynot have their own adgenda to promote.

RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
Good luck with your proposal noseybird. I think it's a little too complex for this crowd to tolerate (at least where they go to relax) but it's a well-intentioned, well-presented idea.
I would like to see the rating system take in to account a member's average rating when they rate a host. For example, if my average was 3 stars, and I gave a host 5 stars, that would be "+2" -- a pretty good rating. If my average was 5 stars, and I rated a host 5, it would be "0" -- an average rating. How that affected a host, whether the system looked at a member's last 10 ratings, or last 20 or whatever could be worked out later. Yes, you could still game the system -- go around and do short shows with hosts you don't like just to give them 1 star, so you could go back to your girlfriend and give her 5 stars. But at least you would have to pay for your stupidity. As things are now, members who just mindlessly give the same rating for all their shows makes the rating system less useful than it could be. Some members will always ignore it, but others won't.

RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
What the hell kind of convoluted program will have to be written to do that? How many freaking lines of code do you think we can fit into one program?
RE: commitee of members and hosts? your veiws please :)
The truth is not very many lines of code would be needed to carry that out.
oh Lordy...
Now Noisybird wants us to fill out a three-page form each time we end a video if we wish to award stars. Do we have to have it registered and certified with a stampile?
RE: Merry Christmas To All My Russian Friends
i would also like to take a moment to wish all of my russian friends here a VERY Merry Christmas.

who's rights are more important?
the company or the customer? my view without customers, the company cannot exist. for example lets say that microsoft made the best software ever. with no buyers, the company would fold.
RE: who's rights are more important?
i don't get it, why would either the company or customers' rights ever need be sacrificed for the rights of the other?
RE: the story so far
well that explanation is all well and good...balance or maybe you're referring to justice?...is a good thing to strive for...however historically life tends to swing radically from one side or the other....always creating animosity with one way or the other. everyone will never be pleased at any one time. i dare say that trend will no doubt continue.
RE: who's rights are more important?
"lets say that microsoft made the best software ever"
Now that really would be a fantasy!

cc fairytale
once upon a time a chathost metioned 'all men i meet here mean nothing to me'...trying no doubt to restore my confidence as being her one and only. constant reassurance is death defying at best and eventually this particular fairytale ending.
RE: cc fairytale
At least you are honest enough to admit that. Some guy is down on his luck...you can always count on someone here to stroll by and kick him in the nuts. Good start of the new year for you, I hope?
RE: cc fairytale
Not kicking him in the nuts,giving him a taste of reality.If you get knocked down,you pick yourself up,dust yourself off & move forward,taking the lesson(moral)with you.To come here & post like that he is just looking for sympathy or worse.That's what momma's are for.To give their darling special ones cuddles,kisses & sympathy.Cry me a river but careful you don't drown in self pity.
RE: cc fairytale
Well, from reading his post I didn't think he appeared to be peddling for sympathy or wallowing in self pity. He is not the first, nor the last person to be burned here. I don't know what was his motivation for posting, but he seemed disappointed, sad and angry. I suppose to express any of those feelings would be considered unmanly to someone like you? You could very well be right in your asessment of him. If you are, then I guess all of us should be grateful for you being here to give us a healthy dose of "reality."
RE: cc fairytale
Be very suspicious of chat hosts who say they dont have bf's here!
They either lie to get more cash and try to manipulate us or if the speak the truth then what is wrong with the guys in there life around them? Am sure the local guys are just like the guys viewers here.
Personally, i prefer all chat hosts to have bf's/husbands - its more entertaining, they have lived and are more stable:)

Naughty or Nice thing
Just looked at some hosts and found "naughty winner". Then I looked at another host and found "naughty 1st place".
What's the difference? Was Creepy Santa just telling all the girls they were a winner so he could get into their panties?
