Model Mayhem contact??
 

Does anyone have any real contacts at Model Mayhem?? I have been trying to get ahold of someone there and just keep getting an automated email back... Any ICQ, phone or direct emails would ROCK!


Thanks!! :thumbsup

I don't have any contacts there but it took over a month to get my profile approved. If that's what your waiting on...it'll be a while.

How you do'n brotha?

I am good man... Just rocking and rollin....


I cannot even get approved at this point is the problem and what I need help with.... :mad:

hi sandy

Heya Sandy, MY NIGGA :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:winkwink:

lol, good luck with that. I tried it once, gave up.

Hey sexy... Miss you too!! :eyecrazy

:eatme

That makes baby jesus cry.... Ya think it would be easier then this to get a human to find out whats up...

I dug through all their records and finally found an email (in the terms I think). That guy emailed me back and said he hadnt worked for the site in over 2 years, and to please not email him again.

other than Tyler who started MM it's run by a volunteer bunch of Net Nazis consisting of hobbyist photographers who think they're the next Richard Avedon and delusional girls who think they are actually real models. Your approval is at the whim of those people.

Model Mayhem was bought recently by the company that owns VBulletin.

Be careful about recruiting for porn on there and how you do it - most people from this industry I know have had their accounts shut down on MM.

I believe Tyler was the person I found, who told me he had nothing to do with the site anymore and that was quite a while ago.

They had some huge number of users and they were running on a shared server for the longest time. I remember it was funny because it got hacked and the press release said something about another user on the same box stole the passwords. LOL

I have a model mayhem account that is approved that you can take over. I never use it anymore at all. I use deviant art mostly. If you want it let me know I'll give ya login and password. It doesnt even have its url set yet so you can make it whatever you want.

Would LOVE to talk to you more about this... Please let me know how to contact you...

:thumbsup

Hey I hit you on ICQ. :thumbsup

Did you get my ICQ? was gonna drop ya the login info if you wanted.

Thanks man... Your help has been great..

Model Mayhem does not like our industry one bit.

So I have come to realize... :(

I didn't know that. I'm one of the oldest members but had left MM about 3 years ago cause I couldn't put up with bullshit. Never came back since, so that's news to me :)

Been using them for years, never had an issue. But... I know what you mean about MANY porn people getting banned. Some simply have NO tact on there, and are flagged almost immediately.

They rank up there with DP for their bannings.

Everything else from the delusional girls, to the nazi's is correct. I will tell you that you can get a TON of interest from that site. However, most are flakes, and will never show. If they show, they think you are Maxim.

I personally think it gives you a bit of credability to people checking up on you. But I have more success from CL, MS, FB. Easily 100 to 1.

Yeah I found the easiest way of getting approved more quickly was in having a pretty vague profile and pictures that aren't too scandelous to begin with. It still took a long time to get approved. So long, in fact, that I forgot I'd signed up for it, lol.
That being said, I've gotten lucky with them. Luckier actually than OMP or even Hardcore, which was surprising.

Yeah Rev, if you go with an account. You can't have any "porn" pictures in your profile/portfolio. If they're naked they gotta be more artistic nude type shit. You'll get denied / flagged / banned pretty quick with porn.

anyone else have an account they want to offload?

Tyler is your man. Not a big company or anything. It started as like a senior project if I recall.

Somebody over there must like me Rev. They re-approved my account overnight so your in luck! It's all yours, enjoy. :pimp

yes Tyler started it as a one man website, I think he coded it himself - the site took off overnight and it was and has been a technical nightmare but it was SOLD in April to Internet Brands the Vbulletin people

MM is similar to OMP but probably a bit worse - MM has the cool factor going for it, MM girls think adult is tacky - just like OMP the response rate is pretty low, fake profiles

There are lots of adult industry models and pornstars on there but they don't mention their porn activities - I've seen well known hardcore porn girls on there with notices - NO NUDES - meanwhile they can be found all over the Net sucking cock. They're on there looking to do higher quality mainstream stuff.

Don't put photos in your portfolio that can be traced back to an adult site or link to a site that's adult related.

For me, I also do not go around contacting girls trying to solicit them for porn. THEY contact ME. Same for CL, MS, FB and so on. I post the ad giving teaser, pointing to another site with more details. Then IF they contact me, I go more in detail.

Many say no fetish, nudes, and so on. But once they see you are paying cash, and shooting regularly. They will say they just say that for those who do not pay for gigs.

The key is you let them initiate, not you being a fucking greasy porn creep.

:2 cents:

One more tip. This comes from feedback from the girls, and years of experience.

Have a fucking website (and/or blog professionally done), e-mail and business address, as well as business card. That will be the deal closer, or legitimizer for you a lot of times when you do your interviews.

A lot of the MM creeps do not have any of those, and the girls will tell you about how they think those people are NOT legit. Even if they are.

It appears to be common sense.... that is not so common...

How much did MM sell for?

the press release didn't say and Tyler hasn't said - bet he made a small fortune - the site makes no money but the demographics on that site are great - they'll have to figure out how to make money with it without pissing off the members

Bunch of assholes over there running it, glad they sold it, but yeah shitty for adult
