ode to cc,add to it.
i joined cc a few years ago, to talk to hot girls, and to see a sexy show. since i've been here, i've talked to a lot, many were nice, while others were not................................ok,now add to it.
RE: ode to cc,add to it.
As i sit here and watch, i get a funny feeling in my crouch, that damn itch is hard to scratch, so i leave it alone to answer the phone.
RE: ode to cc,add to it.
You can watch in open or one2one, but above all else its a hell of alot of fun. Some prices are cheap, some prices are dear, but if all else fails just go grab a beer. :P
RE: ode to cc,add to it.
Sipping on my beer i click on a host, to read her profile i see shes not a boast. After reading her turn ons and turn offs i being to expect will this girl earn my respect.?
RE: ode to cc,add to it.
Some girls are cool and some are like steam. Whichever I watch I use up hand cream.
RE: Christmas gifts

RE: Christmas gifts
Well that's for the best. We wouldn't want you having to change your name from happy :P
RE: Christmas gifts

RE: ?
well superman is my cousin, my uncle is batman, and i am spiderman's sister in fact. So if you are not afraid of spiders...:p
RE: some quicky members abuses rates.
Some members do abuse their time with you and usually they will stay with you a very short time. They ask you to do things that do not fit you and maybe do not fit even the category that you are in. Then they will rate you very low. Since I do not know you, all I can say is to do what you want to do, but tell them up front what you will or will not do and most members will respect your wishes and not rate you low. They will rate you low if you lead them on with false promises.
RE: some quicky members abuses rates.
this discussion is so ridiculous. 90% of the hosts I seen gett 5 from me. I think I only gave 3 ones and it was for not delivering as promised. even if I leave after 2 minutes because I dont find her attractive she still gets a 5. and it works both ways some rate there favorites unneccasily high coz I went into hosts that have 4+ stars and I say who the "F" rated this girl so high, she stinks. I do agree that it should be related to time spent. girls it is part of the game here. if you dont like take another job.
RE: some quicky members abuses rates.
perfectly said riv. tell them up front and dont give false promises.
RE: the trust...
Did i know that this person lied the first time? I am assuming that you mean would I be stupid enough to fall prey to someone's lies after I knew that the person had already lied to me. The answer is simply, if I am horny, lonely, and/or have some other issue of weakness at the given moment, then perhaps.
RE: the trust...
Once you are lied to by a person you need to talk to them to see why they lied to you. Maybe there is a reasonable explanation. However, if they continue to lie to you time and time again then you will start to not trust them and it become questionable if you can continue in any type of relationship. You will have a decision to make.
RE: the trust...
Lying is not the problem. It never was. The question is why did they feel they could not trust you. Even people who lie, trust someone. It is worth remembering that.

RE: not used
hmmm .... 1,60 for open session in glamour, might be a little high for making a good start.
Your turn-offs are not very inviting too:
- greedy guys counting cents spent in my video
- i hate short video
... but for sure, you will find out by yourself.
Nonetheless, I wish you good luck!

RE: not used
gotta agree with anotherguy. if new better to start our lower to gain exposure and high ratings. then after u get clients raise price.
RE: not used
I didn't notice the profile. It does sound a little negative. Maybe you should reconsider your start. Right now its not too impressive and you appear to have an attitude problem.
RE: not used
Tend to agree with ???. Your words are showing an attitude.
Also, your response about your price not being high is called greed.
And your reponse to those who are giving you feedback is negative, argumentative, and, well, why the heck did you make this post anyway?

RE: not used
As a member who has visited lots of hosts here and become online friends with several, I was not turned on by your statements used in your profile. I would probably not choose to visit you in video. Tell things in a more positive way to attract members to you. Take a look at the profile of Wanda above. That is a good example to use as a model. That is just my opinion.
RE: not used
hey guys!
why do u think that this girl is very greedy and angry? she so young and new here, and just express her personality) or u think that all girls here so friendly and dont care abt ur money?????
what abt her price? maybe her show is worthe it!!
u demand too much from new yong girl!

RE: not used
girls, ty for yr words. i m very surprised than my post aroused so many comments. just wanted to be honest. im here to earn money as well well as many hosts here. i wasnt going to be negative. its just me. and i dont make ppl to come to vid. so why r they so worried about my price. hm...
RE: not used
just what cc needs, a girl with bad attitude, over inflated view of herself and a $2.00 wig.
RE: not used
u know what come out of this. wanda22 the only host courage and showing member respect. u added to fav list now bb.
RE: not used
yeah she might have to compete with all us members with overflated opinions & no hair.
RE: not used
I think you will find stiff competition in the NEW HOST category, prices are dropping there, you should look, then dont be surprised by your bad press here.
But good luck any way, time will tell for you.
PS About the wig, bad idea. it says FALSE !

Christmas Planning
Hi all , its that time of year when the nights get longer and colder and we all wish we could get up close to a warm body and lay in bed for long happy hours , so with that in mind is anyone planning christmas together i mean hosts and members or will it be with gf or bf or god forbid family :-)))))
RE: Christmas Planning
For me I will be spending Christmas with my family. That is one of the main times of the year for family togetherness.
RE: Christmas Planning
I am sorry your sister wont be with you for Christmas , I do wish you have a good christmas and if not with loved ones and friends , take my advice ( from past experience ) go away for a week somewhere were it is hot and doesnt feel like christmas , enjoy the sun and sangria and look forward to the new year with some hope . Maybe tisme could put you up , seems like his christmas is a southern hemisphere one . I know would to be somewhere exotic ( thats an x not an r ) :-)))
RE: Christmas Planning
opposite here,nights are shorter & warmer.snow & fire give me a romantic picture of a white christmas,much different to the sand & flies we have.guess i will spend a couple of days with family over christmas.thank god the year has 52 weeks.we all need the other 51 to get over it :--))
RE: Christmas Planning
Im thinkin to go abroad this xmas, to have a week of vacations. Or 2))))) Somewhere where its warm and hot))
RE: Christmas Planning
Hello Miss Babe , so do you know where it is you will be going ? will you be celebrating Christmas ? and the question on the lips of a lot of guys here is who will you be spending the holiday with ?
A Dilema "Question for Chathosts"
Today I was chatting to a girl in the adults section. We had a nice chat, however within the few minutes I was able to catch a few lies. I asked her why say lies? She said she was a good girl, but she doesn't think that little lies can hurt anybody. I said that most members here are lonely and they come to cc hoping to find a friend and sometimes a soulmate. Sometimes we think we had built a friendship based on chats with hosts. We sometimes think we found the right woman, but it can be very painful later on if everything was fake.
This girl told me she was studying economics and on her 2nd year, but didn't have a clue when I asked a few principles learned on the 1st year. She told me she didn't smoke. I enter her video and she had a cigarrette lit on her desk. Apparently she thought I couldn't see it. She told me she was working from her bedroom at her parent's home. I asked if they were home, she said: Oh yes. However the room's door was kept open at all times while she performed a strip for me.
She told me she understood she had to sell me a fantasy and thats exactly what she does. Do you girls feel that telling lies is the rule to work here?

RE: A Dilema
U are looking for a friend in adult sexion, asking her to strip?Do u always ask ur friends to show u their bodies? And yes, this is a fantasy site, and we are here to sell u what u wanna hear. Whats so strange about it?
RE: A Dilema
AFAIK "economics" is a very general term in Russia... you can be an economist who studies finances, accounting, political economy, economic history, managment, etc... in some unis even tourism is linked to economy.
Besides, there's presidents and prime ministers who have doctorates in economy, and don't have the least idea of the most simple principles of macroeconomics, taxes, or public finances.
In other words, give an 19 year old (or so) girl a break. :)))

RE: A Dilema
FYI, she offered the strip. She said she wanted me to feel good. Was I supposed to say No, I don't like women? And she didn't strip completely. Wow, you are so purist,LOL!
RE: A Dilema
Pst, pst. Ever heard of casual sex between friends? It's practiced everywhere in this world, especially in eastern european countries, including russia ;-)
RE: A Dilema
its not strangre .
in europe:
man and man friends = friends
man and woman friends = sometimes sex

RE: A Dilema
sex between friends always happen after some dancing, drinks, jokes, laughs, and last but not least... bed :-D
RE: A Dilema
This question appears again and again. The answer is no, not all hosts are liars. There are many of them who are honest enough and dont think that all members are idiots and losers. But try to understand that vice versa, any member could be a liar or any kind of rascal and could hurt a host as well. Nothing strange that a host needs to hush up some private information to prevent any painful outcome. If you are expecting for true relationship it will take a time to get proofs that you deserve it. If you think you are a really nice guy, just move on and try some other hosts. Maybe you will find Her :)
RE: A Dilema
I really don't know what your problem is. This is a fantasy site and of course the girls are going to lie if only to fulfil the fantasy.
When you enter video do you really want to hear what they are really thinking ? I certainly don't.
It's not like you have some serious relationship going on with this girl.

RE: A Dilema
Gee... What do you think this site is about? It is about fantasies. Would you call an actor in a theatre a liar?
Sometimes it happens that you can build up a relation to a host and get some truth. But only if you behave and she likes you. For me, there are a few signs a host really likes me: She don't asks me to come her vid. She tells me about some bad things happening to her, but don't asks for money.
But again, in general: This is a fantasy site.

RE: A Dilema
I like your point about the theatre. I was at a showing of 'Are You Lonesome Tonight?' An actor said the line, "Of course you know Elvis tried to get a mafia hit on his wife." A man behind me jumped to his feet and started shouting his disagreement at the actor. It was quite funny but at the same time disturbing that he took the play so literally.
Now I imagine myself in a vid shouting at the unfortunate host who sends a heart emoticon, "You love me? How can you love me? We've never met!"
But, 'it's all grist to the mill', as the blind bat cried as it bounced painfully off the side of the cave for hundreth time that day.

RE: A Dilema
Can't quite make the connection. Some fell on stoney ground, I guess, but thanks for reply anyway. ;-)
RE: A Dilema
I have to disagree with your statement that most memebrs are here to find a friend and possibly a soul mate. There are some like that but I think most are here to wank while watching girls see girls take their clothes off, I don't think one should blame a chathost for not telling everything about herself and maybe a few lies when you first start chatting. If you do become friends and find she is lying to you that may be different.
RE: A Dilema
Chat host??? ... lol ... and what about members??? ... I bet that 90 % are liars ...
RE: A Dilema
Hello! After reading ur post i have a few questions to ask you. First, why do u think that girl should open her soul and tell anything abt her private life right after u've met? In real life not many people do that, coz it takes some time to know a person better and decide if he/she deserves any details abt private life, so why should she? And second:dont u think that different schools, universities, etc in different countries have different educational programms? In Russia for example first two years in university we dont study anything connnected with our future profession, just subjects such as languages, math, physics, chemistry, phylosophy, etc. Our Ministry of education supposes that specialist should be good educated not only in his area. Just imagine a scientist who doesnt know anything about such scientific methods as analysis, syntheses, etc, which all r becoming from phylosophy. So is nothing strange if 2d year student has no idea about some parts of future profession, if u would have asked me about informational defence which i study when i was 2d year student i couldnt say u anything about that. coz we had only general subjects as the teority of information for example....Thas why dont try to see lies where is nothing but just defined reasons and dont think all hosts r liers.
Good luck!
Good luck!
RE: A Dilema
You referred to "informational defence." Is that a specialist who is employed in the data/network security industry? I've never heard that particular phrase (in the context of a university education) before and was curious what profession it was.

RE: When did cc start?
Wow! It still looks exactly like it did 7 years ago, and even then it looked a bit "1997".
RE: When did cc start?
They started dry-runs in early Summer of 2000. Before they had a major system crash you could actually dig back in the original pages to the earliest forums from that time.
RE: When did cc start?
the actual start date was 15th november gort...not the 17th...so its not as simple as u would think ;)
RE: When did cc start?
nope wasnt here from day one..joined just a little bit after..but anyone that was here on the 5th bday party will tell u it was the 15th november and there was also a banner on the home page stating "15 TODAY" along with a ccmail that i and every other host got leading up to the 5th bday promoting the 5th bday party which also had the words "on the 15th november we will b 5yrs old" send cc a mail if u want confirmation
RE: When did cc start? Which start-day are you talking about?
Ok, ok... We have to play lawyer here?
There is the genuine official Door Opening Day. - There is the dry-run day when people could access the site, had they known the address. - There is the beta-test day. - There is the day they first signed on.
I once discovered a way to drill back in the forums pages to the first page ever posted. It was in early Summer of 2000. The first few posts were obviously interrnal test pages, but there were shortly other pages from "customers."
It was interesting, because it was obvious that before the official launch in November, the videos were free. There was no precise reference to the content of the videos so I don't know if they were sexual or not, but cc was accessible long before its official day.
Please note that cc is "celebrating" its birthday on 17 November. This is not the same as saying "we went online on 17 November 2000.

My last one.
Well. I don't know really how to tell you this... But my time has come and i'm leaving CC.
This decision has been taken very shortly, and i'm happy i took it.
And as my last word, i would want to thank you all.
Thank you those whom i met here, who taught me something new and who were just a good company.
Thank you those who were supporting me with kind letters, funny postcards and chats when i felt down.
Thank you those who always found a nice word for me.
And thank you those who were pouring sh*t on me without any reason.
Thank you those who were insulting me just for fun, who were lying just for nothing, who gave me a dream and then broke it, who were hiding under Anonymous in the forums, being b*tchy and acting like morons.
As they say, if it doesn't kill us, it makes us stronger. Well, i'm not dead. I got through it all and got strong enough to forgive you all and to leave you.
This place has given me a lot of both good and bad experience. Thank you. But for a long time already i've been feeling like i'm stuck in a swamp. This place is not carrying me anywhere anymore. I have taken everything i could from it. I want to move on and i'm happy i have such a chance now.
And last. Those, who don't think that i'm promoting myself now, or that i'm a b*tch or an ass kisser or a self-centered or whatever, and those who want to keep in touch with me, feel free to contact me via ccmail on TriksyGirl screenname, and i will share my yahoo ID with you.
Also, please be aware that any appearance of TRIKSY in the forums, in the Comm Chat or online is not related to me anymore. This screenname is a studio's account, and as you know, studios often use known screennames of ex-hosts for new girls. Again, i will not post in the Forums any more. So anyone posting under TRIKSY or TriksyGIrl or whatever, is not me.
So i'm leaving, blah blah blah, kiss kiss :P

Sorry to see you go Triksy, but i`m also glad that you have taken this chance and decided to leave. We had some good laughs i hope over the time that we knew each other, just a pity i didn`t stop by a bit more often to say hi and see how u were doing, but i can`t change that now :(
All the very best to you Triksy and i hope you will find something to fill the gap that was CC. Take care of yourself and be happy whatever you are going to do, and keep safe.
I would be very happy if i was one of the ppl that had the chance to get ur yahoo id. If u decide u want me on ur list just think of the name i used to see u on vid with and then add "_35" at the end of it and u will get me. But i will leave it up to you weather you wish to add me or not.
Anyway Triksy, was gr8 knowing u during the 2 years or so that u spent on CC. take care of yourself and be Happy, socky waves bye bye. :P:)))) haha

RE: what do u think about the iPhone?
There are major drawback to the iPhone which makes it highly undesirable for anyone who wants to use the phone to do what they want to do with it and not just by a glorified iPod. For me the major kicker is the DRM handicap and the fact you cannot install 3rd party programs or applications onto it. Makes it worthless to do anything but feed the apple iTune music and movie empire.
But don't be held to my biased views, everyone knows I am a techy sort of guy and so what appeals to me will not appeal to other people.
But this is quite a fair and balanced pros and cons look at the iPhone I liked.
http://uk.gear.ign.com/articles/797/797908p1.html
See if it helps you to make up your mind to spend $600+ on a niche technology device or not.
I know it is gonna mean very little to a lot of you by for my money OpenMoko is the way to go. And that will be my phone of choice in the future. Pure and simple.

See if it helps you to make up your mind to spend $600+ on a niche technology device or not.
I know it is gonna mean very little to a lot of you by for my money OpenMoko is the way to go. And that will be my phone of choice in the future. Pure and simple.

RE: To TNT
Nope, and I have no intention of wasting money on a pretty brick either. That is not to say you should not buy it, after all 1,000,000's of people bought an iPod, but for me it just does not live up to my expectations of what a real smart phone should be about.
Certainly the vendor lock-in is not the most attractive thing in the world is it?

for reference.
But the fact they are going out of their way to make it almost impossible for 3rd party apps to be written for the phone makes me just snort in disgust at Apple and tell them to take their fancy toys and go swivel.
For me the open phone is going to be a revolution in the way we use mobile communication devices.

says it all really. Though of course they hype up the wrong aspects all the time. CHOICE is what you should demand from your phone providers. CHOICE in services, in handset , in coverage , in support.
But the vast majority of consumers are cud-munching drones who do not think even a fraction more than the marketing people want them to think.
Anyway, rant off. I'm off to lunch now. :)

"What happened to the I-love-everybody-with-equal-respect"
Nothing at all. Just it is very sad fact that most people are very clueless consumers.
Ok let me give you an example. I live in the UK and we have a mobile phone provider called 3 here. About a year or so they started doing a promotion to encourage more people to make video calls. The tag line was
"Now you can make video calls for the same cost as normal calls. So why wait!"?
I think previously video called were something like 20p and normal calls 10p so it meant you could make a video call for 10p. Same as a normal call.
I heard so many people exclaim "Wow , that is so fantastic, now I can make video calls so much cheaper, what a great deal"
completely missing the point that if 3 were able to sell you video calls for the same price as voice calls doesn't that mean they were charging you _TOO_MUCH_ for voice calls in the FIRST PLACE?!
It is the same with the great text rip off. Who here genuinely believes it actually costs anything LIKE the 10p standard they charge you to send a txt message? No come on really. No one can be that naive surely? Talk about being so blatantly ripped off it is criminal.
So no, I am afraid when it comes to consumer electronics and to mobile phone users in particular, certainly for the UK, I do not think they are particularly awake, tuned in or switched on. If they were, then the mobile phone network cartel would not exist and we would have genuine competition promoting genuine savings to the customer. But instead we are raising a bunch of moribund thinking teenagers who actually think that is the way it is supposed to be. When was the last time you compained to the mobile phone co, that you were being unfairly charged? Hmm?
Of course you may well prove to be the exception to the rule, but you will forgive me if I direct my comments to the other billion and one consumers out there who buy products and services without actually thinking how much it is costing them.
THEY are the "cud-munching drones" I am talking about. And if you can excuse yourself from that list than feel free. Else my point still stands.
Now you must excuse me I have work to do.

My dear resident cut 'n' paste junkie. While it is flattering you follow my posts so avidly that you feel to save them for extraction and later use, you will of course understand that any quote, taken out of context, can convey an entirely different meaning from the one intended.
And while it is humorous to take this quote here or that quote there and drop it in place of any genuinely original thought of your own, it is consider quite childish and definitely low brow to do so in the middle of a thread about something totally unrelated.
The topic is about the iPhone, do you perhaps think you can bring yourself to perhaps make a constructive comment or an original thought on that topic without feeling the need to refer to me and my posts? Or do you want to start an entirely new thread just filled with other quotes I have made taken out of context?
Perhaps you feel a need to compile a book just so my loyal following of resident AC's can feel at home, throwing my words back at me without actually being forced to read or understand anything at all.
I am sure you would get plenty of subscribers, it seems every year it is more of the same from that particular subclass of the CC community.

The iPhone is just another one of those overpriced-trendy-not-that-useful gadgets that rampant capitalism brings us.
People who spend loads of money on a gadget are the zombies of this world - compulsive buyers who feel satisfaction through the social status it delivers. It does not deliver any other feature cheaper/better products already on the market give you.
And ANYONE willing to wait hours/days to buy a piece of plastic is just degrading himself to sub-human levels.
That said, eat fruits and vegetables.

TO TNT & Malchik
Malchik i was vegan for 18 yrs, so I should be ok in your book. Also I am not a zombie materialist, BUT i do own an IPHONE and I didn't wait in line, TNT, since you don't actually OWN an IPHONE your opinion on it in inhertly limited (obviously to what others say). You are mistaken about its abilities to handle software, it will, but just those that APPLE says are ok. By the way thats the nature of business, of course they (Apple) wants to maximize their own market. My opinion is it's the best smart-phone device I have used, and its even better now that they dropped to price.
RE: TO TNT & Malchik
Yes I can agree to disagree on that. I never said my opinion would cover others point of view. I am quite sure it is the best smartphone you have ever owned. But I am also quite sure that it is not the best smartphone you can ever own. Don't under-estimate the usefulness of opening up both the hardware and software for open development. It goes way beyond just customising the look and feel of a device.
I shan't go into the potential applications of what a genuine smartphone should be capable of because there really are far too many to list. But I am happy you are happy with your phone, and I am sure you are over-joyed you did not have to pay the $200 mark up Apple charged previously (remember if they can afford it to you at a lower price it means you were being charged too much in the first place). Apple are trying to snatch a stake in the market but I genuinely feel they are going to get ham-strung in that effort because they had a very tunnel vision approach to it's roll out.
Anyway, I don't anyone really wants to hear my take on it, plenty of talks about it on the internet. Just look for iphone mistake and iphone hacked to find out more.
I was asked what I thought about the iphone and that's it. I'm waiting for a proper smartphone to do my work with.

New technology is always at its highest price point when it first comes up, then the price drops like a rock. But companies that put these kinds of things up for sale capitalize on the immaturity and impatience of some of the buying public to make huge profilts.

"Money" - Flying Lizards version. Deborah Evans' pseudo-euro accent speaking the lyrics over the tinny piano --> perfect for cc.

I know a fair amount about this topic but still
have some questions myself. I will respond
later when I get this information.
I hope the following sets your mind at ease!
It is nearly impossible for a human to get
mad cow disease.
That is because the prions are found in the
brain and spinal cord of the infected animal.
None of which is used for human consumption.
The reason cattle were getting the disease
is because the discarded animal parts were
being recycled into feed for cattle.
Most countries have implemented very strict
guidelines to elimate the disease.
Very strict control of the contents of animal feed.
The positive identification of every single bovine.
A comprehensive Veterinary program that tests
many animal remains a year.
Incineration at extremely high temperatures of any
infected animals to destroy the prions, supervised
by government authorities.
