Just wanted you guys to see my post in the thread asking if the board is going obsolete. I hope you guys know, in particular Ban, C.A. and Andrew.... I come in here just because of you guys sometimes. I appreciate you being here, stroking my little ego and just generally being involved enough to keep my thread going. I do find it difficult to get in here, right now I have 3 videos waiting to be edited. In fact let me tell you a typical work day for me....
Wake up and check emails.
Check first for any technical issues that may have arisen at my website or clip stores over night, and then hopefully handle said issue quickly.
Delete the myriad of idiots asking me to send them pics of my feet or to rate their cock size.
Try to determine who are serious video, slave, panty, and session inquiries, and then send them replies and pricing.
Put the rest on the back burner and begin video uploads for the day to the 4 clip stores I have, and then on certain days my website and tube sites.
Prepare for filming todays custom orders ....makeup, hair, set up lights, camera settings, mics, stage scene (repeat for however many videos I have to do typically 3-4)
Filming from 2-6 hours, just depends on how many wardrobe changes or scene changes in a video.
Back up all video and audio files to my main computer and back up hard drives.
Eating is fit in here somewhere.
Finish editing videos from previous filming sessions, if needed, if not begin editing today's videos and hopefully have them done and rendered before dinner.
Back to emails. So many emails. You really have no idea.
Daily check of twitter DM's, Skype messages, and tube site messages happens fairly late. This is not an exaggeration in any way here.... I literally will have a couple hundred messages everyday. I have to ignore most of them and sort out the ones who are seriously asking about video purchases, or other such financially relevant things. Usually this filtering through messages inevitably leads me to where people are finding and viewing my work, and this leads to finding pirated stolen videos and needing to send out DMCA takedown notices. I tread lightly and pray that some virus from www.watchmysistergetfuckedbydadwithourdogsdick.com doesn't permanently disable my computer while I'm searching for more of my videos at their bullshit sites.
I can honestly stay up all night doing DMCA's, it never ends and those motherfuckers will put them back up as quick as I can take them down, but it needs to be done, If I leave them, up other piraters download them for themselves and start posting them and next thing I know nobody buys any of my work because they know they can get it free if they wait long enough. I've tried paying other to do DMCA's for me, but it never seems to be enough, it is endless.
now this is excluding any personal time and exercise (which as you should be well aware is part of the job and is not optional)
and it is also not including skype days and session days, both of which put everything on the back burner.
I went to LA to see my dad last week...... I tried to keep up with emails and messages on the road but still would have days that I didn't get o even half of them, then all kinds of "mandy don't you even care about your fans?!" or "Do you ever answer your emails?"
Fun stuff.
In the end though, I recognize the blessed position I am in right now, I know that soon my looks will fade and 90% of all this adoration will leave with it. I guess that's part of the reason I try to get to as much as I can.
But really, the whole point of telling you guys all this is I want you to know that I don't purposely ignore coming here, it just ends up that I have to sleep or I have some project that I must get finished or..... like to night.... Better Call Saul was on and I gotta have time for me Anyway here is my replies to that other thread and let me know what you think as well.
That is the biggest thing..... I used to enjoy coming in here and having fun interacting, and yes of course promoting my work as well but I can do that anywhere, I actually have relationships of sorts with people here, friends I would say even. But something happened at the end of the 2013 Miss Freeones, I'm sure you all remember it well, accusations, manipulations, backstabbing, insults, outright hatred shown between OCSMs.... it was fucking terrible really. I know for a fact it was the last month many OCSMs posted anything here, and quite a few regular members left in disgust as well. And then, Even though the 2014 contest pleased some of the board members, maybe most of them, it also alienated many of the OCSMs who could plainly see that the contest for board related categories basically was going to be the same winners (and Me), and there wasn't much anyone would be able to do about it. That is not to say anything negative about the winners..... all ladies who gave so much of their time, posted so much free content, and genuinely were full time contributors to this board..... all deserving of their wins, but again, making it very clear that outsiders were not going to have a chance. After that was ANOTHER big drop off in participation, but really 2013 was the catalyst as far as I am concerned. It seems like the seriousness that some had towards the contest, the amount of anger that would come out, the fact that people lost sight of the fact that Freeones is SOOOOOOOO much bigger than the board... I think at one point I read that the board traffic didn't even add up to 1/10th of Freeones overall traffic. But so many would be angry that 'their girl" got beat out by someone who was a Brazzers girl or Porn Kings girl or Vivid or Wicked... the list goes on of multi MILLION dollar companies that are TRULY responsible for Freeones being the huge site that it is. You think Arie Dee, Mandy Flores, Harley, and Brianna Lee are driving traffic to this site? Not anything close to what the big producers do, yet members and OCSMs alike acted like it was some offense that those producers porn starlets would dare to win anything. Well the message was heard loud and clear. THOSE companies don't bother having their stars come here anymore. Sad to say it but it seems obvious what has happened. I used to drop into my personal thread and have 20 or thirty different people commenting, asking me questions, or just dropping in to comment on the conversation but now I rarely see more than 3 or 4 (VERY MUCH APPRECIATED) regulars there now, even when I try to stay consistently active. I don't see that happening on my twitter, and I can't even keep up with the tube sites comments and DM's I get everyday.
Freeones is absolutely the best, and they will get through this on the boards, I'm sure it doesn't affect their traffic at all. It's nice to have an active forum, but that's not what Freeones is here for, it's just an extra that we have all been fortunate to interact on.
Which is exactly the point..... the ladies don't like it they don't have to read it if they don't come in here and interact.

Anyway here is my replies to that other thread and let me know what you think as well. The ease of use is ABSOLUTELY an issue for me. I can't even tell you how many times I have tried to use my phone to answer a post or post something and just left frustrated. Twitter and Instagram make it so easy to do it on mobile devices.
