So few Cams in chat rooms!

9 Jun 2006

Hi all - our very first post.
We joined the site very recently and to get into the "swing" as it were, visited the chat rooms. We have been in at various times on various days. Most people were delightful and friendly and we felt welcome. However we did notice the very real lack of cams. confused

:
In fact on one visit we were so uncomfortable with being one of only 4 cams with the majority of chatters looking at us, we turned it off!
Could old hands help us here in terms of why there are so few cams compared with the number of chatters showing? Are there specific times when more cams are on?
We are not looking to see anything other than confirmation that people are there and who they say they are, which is why we have always had a cam.
Thank you all and hope to see you soon. biggrin

There does tend to be a lot morecams being used in the evenings..
Pehaps some may be logging in at work and unable to cam or they may have kiddies at home and again are unable to cam..
Try it in the evening and see how you get on biggrin

Cams in the chat rooms are an individual choice.
People don’t have to put them on, some people don’t have one, others use them just to check who they are ‘talking’ to, others use them for a full on show.
Personally I put mine on sometimes in the evening if there are people who I know in which ever room I am in, and I also put it on, on Sunday mornings and let people watch me do my ironing, but you do have to be around at about 8am or so to catch me!!
And if I get any ‘directors’ I just turn the cam off . lol

hi guys!
I think the same, we put our cam on just so people know who they;re chatting to, but find there isn't many others that do that, and we do get put off being the only ones being watched sometimes( i know that sounds strange considering that we often put on wee 'shows ;-) ) But it doesn't stop us using them, ie it was good chatting in the forum chat last night, getting to see everyone!
The web cam chat is fairly new, so im sure it wont take long for more people to take up on it!
