Not at all. Please re-read what I said, which is :
"There are alot of people I flat-out refuse to work with. For example, here are some of the calls we have received in the past few months."

Maybe you didn't read what AWC said? In his very first post, he said he has already spent $20k on his studio, that he's looking for Professional & Positive ideas, that he's looking for a Cam platform, that he already has affiliates, will only have 4 girls online at any time but wants to support 20-30 models, that he's building a gym room, bedroom, poledancing cam, and has a 1mb uplink. Sorry Will, but AWC sounds like a pro who know's what he's doing, and he can obviously afford our solution. Of course I am going to talk about ours. If I had a sales rep that posted here and recommended someone else, I'f fire the guy.

Does it ever work out that way for them???

Will this is not at all what I tell people. Clearly you didn't read my previous post either. I tell everyone that this takes a shitload of work. It doesn't matter what kind of commercial website you have; you have to work and work hard to make it work. Look at me for example. I run 2 websites - only 2 - and yet I live in front of my computers. Any site owner will tell you that it takes hard work, dedication, advertising and more advertising to make it work.

But dude... I never, ever say, "Buy our software and you'll make money" to noobs. That is pure bullshit. Re-read what AWC posted. He already has Studios + Girls + a website. All he needs now is a video chat + accounting program (like LiveCamNetwork), and then he can begin charging whatever he wants to stream his content per minute instead of rely on the commissions from MyFreeCams. AND, he can even do both at the same time so he doesn't need to put all of his eggs into our 1 basket.

Well ok, that's true I suppose, but then again who wouldn't? What I prefer to do is this : When someone blames our software for their own failings, I try really hard not to take it personally. Instead, I post screenshots, logs, reports, to try to show them (and everyone else) where they went wrong. It's really hard to stay calm and professional while doing it because they just don't want to see the truth, but I try my best.
Anyway, look, let's do this. I think I did a nice job pointing out an option to AWC that he was clearly asking for. Sorry if it offended you Will. Next time, I'll try to post in a more Will-friendly way. Deal?
Have a good weekend.
