The speed of my response is become I'm sitting here working on a Saturday night and refreshing this thread about once a minute or so because I can see that you're online too.
So again, why is this a BS response? All I am saying is that at the time, it was expensive for us to support clients who were hosted on other servers. For example: If a customer would complain about poor speed, we could log in to check things out. If the problem was with our software, then we could fix it of course as per our service level agreement. However if the problem was due to a slow server, congested router, or other things at the operating system level for example, we had to ask our customer to call his hosting provider for support as some things were simply not fixable by us, or were beyond the scope of our service agreement with our customers (and instead were under the agreement of that hosting company). Many customers did not like this, or understand why we would only support our software and nothing else. Our current system has dependencies such as Redhat Enterprise 5x, MySQL, and Wowsa. If our customers wanted to host this with their own ISP's, they would also be responsible for the licensing which that hosting provider may charge them for (or perhaps they would have to buy direct). This by itself may may it more complex for some customers (especially newbies) to manage. I hope this better answers your question. |
"This by itself may may it more complex for some customers (especially newbies) to manage"
ooh bitchy, you didn't answer my question about US$ or CN$ |
Sorry, I didn't think I was being bitchy. (In fact, I'm in a great mood! This thread has generated lots of new contacts lately..)
Alot of us here have servers all over the place and are used to managing them via Cpanel, Telnet, whatever. "Newbies" can be new to adult, and can also be new to this as well. When a customer is trying to run his website, the only thing he should be concentrating on, is that. Hosting, Operating Envrionments, server dependencies, routers etc, should not be his concern. By hosting our customer's licenses for them, we make ourselves 100% responsible for our software AND the quality of service. We own all of our own servers and do all of the maintenance on them. So as an example, if a client calls to complain about an issue, we can fix it regardless of whether or not its a software bug, or a server / hosting / switching / routing issue. This guarantees all problems are fixed very quickly, without the customer having to call multiple providers. |
And sorry I missed your question earlier. We charge in US Dollars. We also payout in US Dollars.

PornSiteNewbie, the quality of the video is only as good as its source. A girl using a good quality camera and fast computer will produce a better image like we say in the screenshot below: http://www.2much.net/gfy/ivy-screenshot.jpg The amount of Light also makes a big difference. Ivy has lot of light in her room. A girl using a little webcam with a small iris and slower computer will upload poorer quality video, such as the girl in this screenshot: http://www.2much.net/gfy/cwaters-screenshot.jpg Hints, tips and tricks on how to improve image quality Leon is on our website, on our forum, and shown to all of the girls we hire. It is not rocket science. Any photographer will tell you that good light is essential. Anyone working in digital video will tell you that bandwidth and speed is essential (and selectable with our software). Ivy's video is better because her camera is better and she selected "Wide Screen" mode + High Bitrate. It is very simple. |

The other part of the question was, if you still wouldn't do what I mentioned above will you put a copy of the code in a trusted 3rd party's hands, or some where that your clients could get access to it to keep their business going if something was to happen to your company. I think NATS does something like this. If I can't own it, or at least be assured that I could get my hands on it if something happened to you, then I (personally) wouldn't want to pay a decent amount of money to take a risk on what happens to you in the future. you never know, if the Crips move up to Canada, traffic might send them after you too. |

A white label is definetly the best option for you, but can't compare a white label vs a live cam software solution. apples and oranges. I would likely use Mark's software if I had more control over the programming or if I was guaranteed to have the source code if they stopped supporting it. I wouldn't recommend using it if you were relying on them for chathost, I also personally would get my own merchant account. The only thing I would want to rely on someone else for is the software, which if I had access to the code there would be no riskes involved. I don't think Mark did anything wrong here from everything I have read. I would recommend someone using his system if they don't want to spend big bucks creating their own live cam solution, if they had their own chathosts, and with their own merchant account. All things his solution allows you to do. The chathost on LCN's network should be a suppliment, or bonus in addition to the ones that you would bring on board. If you can't get chathosts then there is no point paying for software, just do a white label. I like the concept of sharing chathosts, which can work both ways for you. If you don't have traffic but you have chathost you can still make money in his system. If you don't have chathost but you have traffic you can still make money in his system. The concept is great as you need both traffic and chathost at the same time to launch a site, something that is very hard to do so his network gives you a little extra help than if you were on your own. But if you don't have your own chathost you are basically an affiliate that paid a decent amount of money for software, when you could have just got a white label with another company. |

Hi Will, Of course this would be possible. However there are still a number of concerns that would need to be addressed. What would our responsibilities for support be? How much would it cost us? Who is responsible when an OS upgrade occurs which creates a compatibility issue? Can we charge our clients extra for this? Should we? And would customers be willing to pay for this? "Technical" is one thing. "Policies", legal issues, how it affects our business model etc are all quite different. |

Found us from Webdreams. :) As a side note Leon, we "feature" the actual girls who work for us, by way of large rotaing pictures or banners on the front page of our site. Anyone who knows anything about traffic conversion will tell you that you cannot promise one thing, and sell another. We place large pictures of our own girls on our site BECAUSE they log in often and chat. They are the "Real" girls of LiveCamNetwork. They are not fake models. Your site on the other hand, pictured fake models. You promised one thing, and delivered another. Quote:

What I think I will do though is to place a note on our mbase description page that explains that each chat site's participation in mbase is OPTIONAL and therefore the number of available chat models is not guaranteed. This is explained already in emails and phone calls but after this thread, I think it would be a good thing to add. Cheers!!! :) |
Will, I never said I didn't make any mistakes, and I feel my 2 biggest mistakes were choosing 2Much to begin with, and not leaving sooner. This is a warning thread, remember. I am warning everyone reading this that if you go with Mark's solution, you will get:
- A substandard product that will make your site look amateur, no matter how much traffic and models you have. - You will not be able to share models (yes the concept is great, but unfortunately it's only a concept) because there would be noone to share them with that has any real traffic. - There won't be enough models for you to use on your site if you don't have enough models yourself. - When you give it your all for one year realizing there is no way to get ahead using this system, Mark will keep all your money, your customers, all software, and recruit your models for himself. This is all I am saying, Will! I know I was wrong picking this solution to begin with. Even if Mark improves his system, you need to know about how he does business, as having trust in your software partner is very important when choosing a solution. The fact that Mark tried to recruit my models tells you a lot about his character, apology or not. He only apologized because he got caught! The $400 chargebacks is only an excuse for him to keep $10,000 of mine, nothing more. The check he bounced to me for $1,700 is business as usual for Mark, he bounces checks on his models all the time. Read this thread, I am not the only person who came out publically to say I was duped. The ultimate proof of my case is in the lack of even a single cam site that uses 2Much software that looks even remotely successful or like it was designed after the year 2000. |
Im not going to bother with this pissing match anymore, however I will take one thing to task.
"No, what I am saying is that once Mark had my money, and the money of all his other customers whom I've yet to even see, he could care less about doing anything but making his own site better" Just want to mention Mark let me and my crew use his whole studio for six hours on Friday and gave us complete run of the place to shoot a project we are working on at no charge. Pics and thanks will be in another thread Monday. All he would accept at the end of the day was a cold well deserved beer. And yes for the two or three people on this board who do not know I would consider Mark a friend. However we always keep business strictly business and I am very happy with Mark 2much and the whole package. If I was not friend or not I would never back his product if I did not like it. Anyways that's my two cents do what you want with it I really don't fucking care. Spend some time working on your product instead of being a one man side show here and you might just maybe but some money in your pocket one day. Im done with thread...... |

He bounces checks all the time to his models ? You've made some bold accusationg in this thread about him being a thief, etc... Would like to see your proof where he bounces checks to his models all the time. If thats the case I would never use them, can you provide proof to back that up or is that just more smear campaign from you because you are mad at him ? |
I've been following LCN for years. I know several people that have paid for licenses and made nothing and ended up paying a lot more than they expected for the service. Jean-Francois, please post a follow-up about how your experience is with LCN in say 6 months. Will be interesting.

I bought a license from them once..

The "Look and Feel" of each website is completely up to the webmaster. You can customize the look and feel to look any way that you like. Here are a few examples: http://www.2much.net/gfy/site-samples.jpg 1 of these is an original design by our designer. The middle one is my own personal design which I like, but you call amateur (Sorry! I still like it). The 3rd is a "skin job" where we took graphics from an existing site and applied it to his new cam site. Each of these took only a few hours to do. If you paid $4000 to your webmaster to do your site, he is the one you should be mad at. Quote:

I dont hang out here any longer however I was directed to this thread and in the spirit of fair play...
Ill take you up on the offer with these caveats... I already have secured the same license as yours with Mark so yours isnt needed and I will be constantly updating on the results of my progress. And its well documented here and on other boards that Mark and I arent good old boys and neither of us kiss each others ass. Im on record as saying after 90 days of research for another client this is the BEST turnkey system on the web for this purpose. However there are a lot more things you must have on the ball even if you use the best software available. Youve heard from Will who is well qualified on this subject as well as a couple of other of his clients that they have been able to make a go of it. From what I can see your traffic sources were riddled with fraud which is what you get when you advertise on tube sites and then in turn disable any fraud protection. How you can have 3K of income with 2K of it as chargebacks and fraud and blame the solution provider is beyond me. But all about fair play so Im going to see for myself. |
Welcome aboard, Gonzo.

You are free to sell or give away your license as I said above, however the following conditions have to be met before we can support the new client: #1. We must have a signed Terms of Service with that new customer. #2. You need a very clear letter signed by the two as well as our lawyer, which clearly states that this new person or entity is the clear and rightful owner of your license, and that you have no claim to any portion of it now or later on. (We do not want to get into a dispute over who to pay), and that your new customer assumes all costs of any current or future liabilities on your account. (Right now, your liabilities are high) #3. You also need to be very clear if you are providing your, database of customer, your database of performers, graphics and artwork, stats and other data along with your license. #4. Your license must include your domain name, verifiable via a whois serarch. If it does not, we will have to charge additional setup fees to properly transfer the account, userlist, performer list, etc. In other words, the "owner" must own "everything". Will76: I talked with our lawyer today about your idea and while interesting, it is not possible at this time, sorry. However I do have something for you that I think you will find very interesting. Please hit me up on ICQ and I will give you more info. Cheers! |

Gonzo, luckily we didn't shake on this deal yet, because it wouldn't make any sense for you to take my license, since it will cost you another $1,600 on top of what you already paid Mark. No need to thank me, just post the URL of the site you will run on Mark's software, as we would all love to watch how you do the impossible, and make it succeed. So, anyone who doesn't have a current license with Mark, please step forward to claim mine under the new terms above. Please be sure to consult with your attorney prior to accepting this offer, as it may be dangerous to your wallet :1orglaugh |
PornSiteNewbie:
You are wrong. You had asked me to install a new license on a new domain, with new accounts (ftp, email, ccbill), new template, new everything. You were in effect asking for a whole new standard license. Our regular cost on this license was $2100.00 but I had offered it to you at $500.00 off since you were already an existing customer. A license ownership transfer is not the same thing. We sometimes charge $100.00 to cover legal costs but generally it is free because the domain name, account details, users, performer accounts etc, all remain intact. There is little work for us to do except to review the paperwork and sign off on it. You may want to read things more carefully before you get so upset. |
Mark why was I triple billed in one month. In 2008 you can only do so much with the design
You bill for hosting, you bill each time a model download the software, That what I just recall. I was cool with your company until I keep getting billed for stuff three months . Which was not part of the terms |
This is what you say I owe in sept 09
Account balance: -3590.12 Minimum Payment due: -3840.12 You keep billing me when i ask you guys to stop billing me after charging me 3 months out the blue on my debt card. Why do you keep billing me. I can even contact ccbill if you like. Do right by people sending you money Accounts in good standing Maintain a $250.00 minimum reserver and bennefit from the following: - Preferred Mbase Pricing - Free Miristream licenses - Continuous Access to MBase - Software updates as as they become available - Qualify for 1 month free hosting - Save on interest and late payment fees Accounts which become late are subject to : - Additional service fee of $35.00 - Interest charges of 28.8% per annum - Limited Access to Administrator program - Suspension of Mbase Services - Suspension of email services - Possible suspension or redirection of website and hosting services |

OK folks, important update! It looks like there may have been a misundersanding with Mark after all about the license transfer. There is a good chance you may only have to pay $100 to claim my license for yourself. Let's keep our fingers crossed that Mark will get approval from headquarters and his attorney to allow me to help him promote his business and give away his $6,000 license for free to the first person who claims it here. Please stay tuned... Sorry, Mark, I am not upset at all any more. This is getting funnier and funnier by the minute :1orglaugh |
If you want to waste money go with Mark. You will get nicke and dime to death

Are you that dense really? Or do you never read what is put in front of you? I am not a Mark supporter. But you are killing yourself here. Read what he wrote! If you do an ownership change, which includes the domain name (meaning you sold the whole kit and kaboodle to someone) then it is a relatively cheap process that might cost $100. If you do a domain name change, it requires more. All in all that actually makes a lot of sense. Please feel free to carry on. |
Mark,
You sound like a putz..... Take care of this guy - jesus..... Customer service is #1 - if he's not happy, etc - refund him, make it good and all is over.... |
Man, and I thought this thread was dead already! Still no takers for the free license?

I guess keeping $10,000 of my money isn't enough, Mark continues to bill me even after I canceled all service with him in writing:
I just got 2 of these today: Dear XXX, Account balance: $470.31 Minimum Payment due: $279.69 This is an automated curtosy reminder to inform you that your account has fallen below its Credit Limit, and must be paid up to date immediately in order to remain in good standing with us.

Someone just brought the following thread on YNOT to my attention:
Another fine sales thread on YNOT for 2much.net back from 2007 Sounds a lot like this thread, except it happened 3 years ago! Mark is almost using the same language in his responses here as he did back in 2007. I think he has them saved as a form letter to save time from having to come up with new BS every time he gets accused of being a scammer. This way he just posts the screenshots, but just has to cut and paste the BS. I wonder how many more posts like that there are, and how many people fell for his scam and kept quiet. |
There is nothing wrong with mark prince his system
I have heard my clients speak about it, and it was always catching their minds. I am sure Mark has a lot of happy clients also. |
I would like to see just one happy client with a real website, and one who is not getting to use Mark's studio free for buying him a beer.

Pornsitenewbie, year later I am still getting billed, didnt see the bill in December thru. His program only help him make money, he tries and still people models and overcharge you on the back end. I was a client and i got burned. I hope no one else get burn

Absolutely, although I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Please get in touch with Mark to make the arrangements, and pay him the $1,600 fee to change the domain on my license. Once that's been settled, and you're OK with all his terms, please contact me. Just to be sure, we will post the domain you will be using with his license here, and we will track your progress both in terms of traffic and revenue for the next 6 months.

PornSiteNewbie,
The notices that you received on Monday are automatically generated from our system when accounts fall below the minimum reserve. Even when accounts are "closed", they are still active in the system to allow you to receive additional payments. These payments can include Returning Holdbacks from CCBill and returning holdbacks from us. Without this, you would not receive proper credit for these returning holdbacks. I have adjusted this for you and you will no longer receive these notices and requests for payments. If you would like updates on this in the future please let me know and will send you updates myself. As for the Ynot post, that customer failed in his business and chose to blame us instead of himself. That post and others contained some wild accusations which we had proven to be false, but he had refused to believe. In the end we had no choice, and sued him in court for Libel. We won. I understand that you are not happy with how our business together turned out and I am sorry it had to end the way that it did but labeling us as a "scam" and even going as far as to put it in your sig is uncalled for. For those interested, Almost everything that "PornSiteNewbie" has posted in this thread is false and I have backed it all up with screenshots. I invite everyone to take advantage of our offer to use our software for free and see for yourself just how powerful our system is, and how detailed the accounting system is. http://www.2Much.net. |
why would he lie **********, did he lie about you guys contacting his model to come over to your site?
|
Mark, I don't know exactly what you proved, to me you only proved every point I made in full detail. You market your system to newbies, promise them the world, and then take their money and send them packing, that simple.
Even if I was Bill Gates, I couldn't make a profit with your system, it's so amateur and mickey mouse that you should be embarrassed to market it to third parties. Once again, the proof is in the pudding, show me one yes just one sucessful website who has "made it" using your software!!! Come on, prove me to be libelous, and I will take my signature down! As far as I am concerned what I am doing is preventing others from being scammed, and rightly so. If that's libel, then telling people that I got robbed would be libel too. |
