Mark Prince, founder and CEO of 2Much.net, said, “I kept my eye on Brent and Streamitlive partly because he was part of competition, but also because he’s good. His additions and format approaches on Streamitlive were very inventive. I’m glad he turned to us. He’ll be able to let his creative side loose, since our system takes care of most of details. I can’t wait to see what he’s going to do with LiveCamNetwork 1.9.”

Streamitlive.com already plans to combine LiveCamNetwork’s system with video content produced in their studios with their performers. Daugherty, who runs business with wife Tara, said, “We’ll stream non-nude video through free chat channel, and nude and hardcore video through pay chat.” He’s also planning to offer live pay-per-view shows with top adult models for a set price, “but this will be in future sometime.”

Presently, Daughertys are recruiting performers to chat from Streamitlive’s studios and look forward to starting over from a stable platform. “Now things will settle down, we will rebuild our performer base and studio base and start looking towards tons of traffic and marketing.”

Some forums require that you register and provide contact information in order to post a message or respond to messages. The registration is typically simple and requires that you submit general information. An email confirmation is required in order to confirm information; once confirmation is responded to posting privileges are granted. Some forums do not require registration and you can post anonymously.

What to Look for In a Forum Because time is valuable it is best to frequent forums that have a lot of traffic, this will ensure that any posts receive maximum exposure for little effort. The most recent posts should be have current dates and it should be clear that there is regular activity on board.

Moderated Forums Some forums are moderated, which means posts are approved prior to being made public. This means that if you post to a moderated forum, there will likely be a delay between submission and posts appearance in forum. Moderated forums tend to have a lower 'noise' ratio and have less off-topic posts. The downside to moderated forums is that like moderated newsgroups they are usually less popular because of lag time between posts.

Signature Line Most newsgroups allow for posters to include a signature on any posts. This is your opportunity to mention your products and services. Use this as an opportunity to tell other forum visitors what you want them to know. Be sure to provide an url to your website, as link will not only refer potential clients but it will help search engine ranking.
