So, some things have changed in the past few days. I know there will be rumors, there will be stories, there will undoubtedly be bullshit, so I felt the need to make a small simple post detailing what is happening, and why. Better to go to the source, ya know? I created Babe Chat, I have run the server since day one so I’d consider myself a good source.
So here’s some background…
Babe Chat started as a webcam network in June 2009. Bryci and I did this after we learned the webcam network we were on was going to be changing the way they did things. They wanted to introduce a pay system where people could pay money to the models etc. They never checked with us on this before going ahead with development of the software, plans on pushing it live etc. They just figured all the sites with them would go along with their plans I guess.
We had the mindset that if you sign up for a website, the cams should be for free and it should be an upsell option for different things. Sure there are webcam networks where girls offer private shows etc, but that isn’t what we were a part of before and since they were modifying their network, they were sort of forcing us to be part of the new system. We wanted simple, webcams shared between sites. No extra money needed.
We offered to buy the old cam network’s backend software if it was available to buy but they didn’t want to sell it. Not sure if they felt we’d be competition or not? The web is a huge place, plenty of room I’d think but whatever.
So Bryci and I created Babe Chat and for a week, we were the only site on it. Then Mumblez came inside a few days and joined us with his network, followed soon after by Doug and his network. The three of us formed the three amigos, we had to agree on things or they didn’t happen. Other sites then started to join us and Babe Chat started to grow. We had two very basic rules for BC, no drugs on cam and no hardcore. We wanted a classier network, and we had non nude and nude girls on the network so it made sense on some level. We weren’t trying to nuke the old cam network we were apart of but that is sort of what happened, all the sites left to be with us because we were keeping it simple.
Present day…
So earlier in the week a website within the Babe Chat network had hardcore on webcam. This is a violation of BC and if it had been any other site, they would have been removed from Babe Chat immediately. Problem was, it was one of the other amigo’s sites. He didn’t check with us before doing this, he just did it and as such, he will be leaving Babe Chat shortly to create a new cam network that he runs/owns himself. The other amigo will most likely be going as well being that they are partners on a few sites.
I’m not being a hard ass btw, The same site tried to do a bj show 6-8 months ago within Babe Chat and I nuked that so it never happened. I’m not a buzz kill, I have no issues with hardcore. I’m a guy, come on. Seriously.
I do however think having hardcore in a network along side models that aren’t porn stars, is tough for sure. What if you’re a model and your show is right after a sex show? Is that fair to you as the model? The crowd is now all restless and worked up, now you get to deal with it. Great. No, that isn’t fair and one of the things I am well known for, also well hated for, is sticking up for the ladies. I don’t go out of my way to protect just any model out there, but I sure as hell do for the Bella ladies. This is why there was a no hardcore rule.
So what happens to Babe Chat? Nothing. We’re still Babe Chat. We’re not going anywhere.
We will still be running and we’re not loosing all the girls. Stop worrying. Yes, there will be several ladies leaving because they are part of the other networks, so if you want access to their cam shows you’d need to join that other network. Same can be side though if you are currently a member of any of Doug or Mumblez sites, if you want access to any of the Bella ladies (Bryci, Katie Banks, Talia Shepard, Monroe Lee) you’d need to be a member of one of these girl’s sites or better yet, grab a BellaPass and be a member of all of their sites.
Yes Babe Chat will continue to grow, we will bring on new girls as we see that they fit with what we’re doing.
When will this be happening? I am guessing in the next week or two? No idea what the other network will be called. I do know it will have hardcore on it, which is not what we’re about here so this is for the best.
Before some of you etards start thinking Doug, Mumz and myself are fighting now or something. We’re not. This is business. We’re still friends and we understand this is the best move. I am not sour in the least, I honestly wish them the best of luck with their new venture. We’ll all still work together and promote each other etc where we can. We’re all here for the same reason.
I created this post because you know the internet, some people talk shit behind others backs and make up stories. I wanted there to be no question what happened. It’s really no big deal, just something that needed to happen. Too many cooks in the kitchen is never a good thing.
