More on that later.<br /><br />DJQuad: I never received any PMs from you regarding advertising or I most certainly would have responded. Perhaps something went wrong with the PM system but I have no shortage of complaints about this one or that one in my inbox so I think it's working. I even checked the backend database and there are no messages from you. Did you use DJQuad to contact me?<br /><br />I'm sorry for the broken contact form. It came to my attention reading a comment here and I fixed it immediately. It was working about a month ago and I simply wasn't aware.<br /><br />How did it break? Well I hired a programmer to help with making changes to the site. My goal was to: <br /><br />1. Add improvements, fix bugs.<br />2. Convert to limited free/pay site, or close the site.<br /><br />This programmer is no longer responding after months of working on the site. Unfortunately many of the changes he made broke. The original outline for the pay site was to absolutely allow users to still edit/view/delete/etc their own videos, respond/delete comments. That didn't get implemented.<br /><br />Now if you are concerned about not being able to watch your own videos, just don't try to login. The guest user is unlimited, because it was also not implemented correctly. This will change, but first I want to allow free members to still login and view their own content. When that's resolved, guest users will be limited, and will have to create an account, which can be free (with monthly limits).<br /><br />I have another programmer who I will have take over the project.<br /><br />I have no desire to close it down and I thank those who are helping to support the site. If it were to shut down everyone would get REFUNDS. I would hope that was obvious but someone suggested otherwise.<br /><br />"Naughty Machinima can easily survive by providing links to paid for content sites. It just takes some work to do this. "<br /><br />Please don't claim to know how to financially support my site through ads. That's how I've been making a living for over a decade. My other site, which is free, succeeds because it's relatively low bandwidth - the complete opposite of a streaming video site - and users visit it looking for adult games and similar, and a certain percentage is ready to spend some money. They aren't looking to watch videos or upload large files.<br /><br />Someone did contact me several times through several methods about advertising something in SL. I responded every time with a yes and the appropriate info and wouldn't hear back every time or for several months, so that situation was too unreliable. That's the grand total of requests for advertising I've received, so don't act like I'm turning down advertisers at every turn.<br /><br />I don't want to ONLY support the site (although I will; if it breaks even I can live with that). I have to profit as well. This is how I make a living. For years the site has just bled money. It was always my intention to profit, and I hoped ads would serve that purpose. Perhaps better targeting would help, but it's unlikely.<br /><br />One IP address per user is for security reasons.<br /><br />Finally, perhaps the restrictions will change, when I find other ways to add value to paying members, while loosening the limits.Naughty Machinimahttp://www.naughtymachinima.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1925848598141690181.post-89031566463254773882011-08-12T01:36:30.369-07:002011-08-12T01:36:30.369-07:00I do feel NM can be saved, and still be the hub of...I do feel NM can be saved, and still be the hub of our scene if this free option is made available to existing members. Not just an option for brand new members signing up as it is now. <br /><br />I would welcome the restrictions, especially if they per longed the life of NM. I love the site. if we all had the free option, bandwidth and space would be managed effectively enough for Muze to continue i would hope.<br /><br />Here is the free option copied from NM for brand new members...<br /><br />Free monthly access with the following settings. Once your account reaches these limits, you will either have to pay for an account or wait until the following month for your quota(s) to reset. Thank you.<br />0.49 GB video upload space<br />4.88 GB bandwidth per month<br />Register for 30 daysfree upload<br /><br />This means you can upload around 2 and a half times what you could upload before in one go, but now per month. Possibly 3 movies a month if you use your codecs well. Bandwidth, is literally what you "download" from the site personally. if you watch a 200mb movie, then you've used 200mb of bandwidth, if you refresh that movie, another 200mb..and so on, going by that probably watching 30-40 movies a month might use up all your alloted bandwidth, and you'd have to wait for the following month to have it all reset and begin again.<br /><br />Arwen got a new account with this free option, we share it, so we're ok, because she never had an account before. But many old members are restricted to one account per IP address, they cannot get a new account. This is wrong. It's also responsible for the slow down, and the usual summer slowdown has magnified this even more.<br /><br />SL Porn is not dead! If you love making movies, and being involved we will find ways. I love movie making more than NM, whatever happens i will always carry on. Releasing my movies on this blog and my own, and the other sites around.<br /><br />xxSerenity Juneberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03918136218303589793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1925848598141690181.post-10342687389981238212011-08-11T13:25:05.272-07:002011-08-11T13:25:05.272-07:00Shit I dont know how to post here...

If anything is his fault it would be trusting people to govern themselves and not have to be a babysitter. Funny how adults can be so immature. Walk out your house... Is there a "Do not rape" sign on every street corner? Is there a do not steal" sign on every corner? Some things are common sense and learned behaviors. I come from the school of if someone does something nice for you that you don't take advantage of it and make then second guess their kindness. 90% of the people of this community didn't care about Naughty machinima in the long run just themselves. Use and abuse... a site the did so much for this community... and it was used up and tossed aside like a used condom. So now all the videos are going to be shown on this site? All I have to say is "Epic Fail". It might be good for a few blogs hits, but in the end you can't replace naughty machinima.<br />By Rayven Baily on NAUGHTY MACHINIMA CHANGES.

They've been great in the past as a site for us to upload and view our naughty stuff, but from a business standpoint I can see why they need more revenue to offset their bandwidth costs. A site like that costs hundreds if not thousands of dollars each month in bandwidth costs alone.<br /><br />Why don't I have much sympathy? For 2 weeks straight I was trying to contact them about advertising rates. Not only is their contact form broken to this day, 3 PMs have gone unanswered practically *begging* them to give THEM money for advertising. When you don't respond to potential advertisers how much income will you get? Nada.<br /><br />Moving forward I'm probably going to be using a site that's also compatible with various in-world TVs like NHC. As far as sites like Youtube, Treet.tv, Rezzed.tv, etc are all supported but on the porn side, Pornrabbit, Redtube, Youporn, and I believe Xtube are supported as well. Other flash-based sites like The Kitty Shack and Slutload could be supported as well.<br /><br />This isn't a commercial for NHC :) Not to get too geeky but any TV (technically, any viewer like Firestorm, Phoenix, Viewer 2) that can view flash-based videos can play any adult site. The TVs themselves just need to be able to support them because there is scripting involved to "redirect" the movie itself to the TV. Hope that made a little sense.. :)<br /><br />The SL porn community is obviously not going away just because NM is going to a pay model for the moment. There are lots of other sites where we can show off our naughty sides.. :) Keep up the great work on trying to consolidate the links where everyone is uploading to.DJQuadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13458629473979711929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1925848598141690181.post-27612358196956316392011-08-08T13:01:15.439-07:002011-08-08T13:01:15.439-07:00I think very few people will pay. Not only that, ...I think very few people will pay. Not only that, if you have uploaded content to NM you now have to buy a membership to change what you have up there. <br /><br />Naughty Machinima can easily survive by providing links to paid for content sites. It just takes some work to do this. <br /><br />BTW do NOT directly embed live web links from any paid sex site into your blog -- Google will most likely drop you from search. They do not like hotlinks to paid sex sites.Eddi Haskellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10365026406880360184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1925848598141690181.post-54306237616386546182011-08-08T07:43:07.313-07:002011-08-08T07:43:07.313-07:00Just a comment here.
