I feel bad for them. Like will76 says, they had some bad advice, or shot the wad without any expert advice.

Cam sites are incredibly hard to start. Several other people here with decent budgets have tried to launch a cam site and failed. In all cases, they had no idea what they were getting themselves into.
You would think it would be common sense, to launch a cam site without girls live (or very few) would be like launching a tube site with 5 videos, or a dating site with 10 profiles. The part that most of these people fail to appreciate is exactly *how* hard it is to get the traffic and chat host going at exactly the same time.
With a dating site its no big deal, you can fake it with tons of fake profiles until you build it up with real people. For a tube site or membership site you just upload a ton of content and then set more to auto upload and you finished. In those cases the "site" side of things is very easy, you build it and you are done with it. Then you focus 100% on traffic and can send traffic slow or fast, it doesn't matter the site will still grow. For a cam site you can't just build the site and then forget about it like you can basically do with all other types of sites. When you dealing with a cam site if you don't balance the traffic with models online you going to crash and burn very fast.
I bet they could have paid someone a fraction of what they spent on the GFY skin to give them the proper advice they needed to launch this right.
