uhmmm... I agree.

They pretty much dominate the cam biz. Millionaires
spending $1000 a month on cams or more
and love it.

Much better than owning a casino.

$$$$$

It's not millionaires, it's the lonely guys, and they spend way more than $1000/month. A guy can drop $300 in an hour easy.

Nothing builds loyalty like a pretty girl who you think might actually like you. These guys come back every night until ifriends declines their card.

yeah some of those guys spend insane money.

sad if they really can't afford it. to go into debt just to talk to a naked girl on the interweb is pathetic.

wonder how many divorces webcam and chat sites are responsible for - A TON.
of course u can't blame the Net, the marriage couldn't have been in great shape but definitely these sites are the 'final straw' in many marriage breakups.

I think that the majority of the big spenders are just lonely guys. Chances are they have money in the bank due to not having a social life. For the first time he has the confidence to talk to a pretty girl, who says all the right things, and he craves more of that feeling.
It's sad, but I believe it's all too human.

Of course some are lonely guys....

But, there are many others..

Some may just want a lil variety in thier lives, and some are couples... Some are girls.

And not all are ugly, thats for sure

I was wrong-

8.4 million members

Some have vip memberships at around 7$ a month

Some have elite memberships at around 10$ a month

Some belong to fanclubs at 15-30$ a month each

Some belong to many, many fanclubs

Some pay for live chat at the rate of .99 to 5.99 a minute

Most members I encounter have memberships to more than 1 fanclub and are elite members and spend plenty of time in per-minute chat.

So, basically, I have no idea how much ifriends makes but its a lot.

as long as msn sends ALL of their adult search results to Nightsurf.com they will continue to make killer bank, in addition to all other streams.

Those aren't active members, they are the number of members that have signed up since it started. Also, you can be a member and not pay a penny....only VIP's pay the $9.95 or whatever it is.

That was simply a problem when they switched banks and they made good immediately on all the problem checks. Why didn't you contact them and have them reissue you a check?
