TORONTO, CANADA – Live video chat site LiveCamNetwork.com has announced a 5-hour free chat event called the “Girl-A-Thong.” The event was created to “thank all the users who stood with us through the November 2004 Tech crisis,” said webmaster Jen.Altruism aside, site owner Mark Prince also sees the commercial benefit of such an event. “The Girl-a-thong is going to be a yearly event,” he said. “We’re holding it this year to thank the loyal regular customers of the site, but also to illustrate to webmasters how incredible our retention is on LiveCamNetwork.”
According to Prince, webmasters are still collecting regular checks from surfers referred to the site 3 years ago.
“The site not only has what I know are the best chat hostesses on the net,” said webmaster Jen, “But has developed, thanks to these regular users, a great cozy community feeling.”
It hasn’t always been smooth sailing, though. Last November, LiveCamNetwork and all 2much.net sites were hit by a concerted logic-bomb attack which logged-off all performers on the network, preventing anyone from making money for ten days.
“During that time we set up a completely free chat room for anyone to come in and play, and to keep up a little banter,” said Jen. “Which turned out to be an outpouring of support.”
Prince also had a BBS/Forum installed, “to maintain lines of communication open between regular users and chat hostesses. People were posting long messages and threads about how cool we are and how they wouldn’t go to other sites.”
An online magazine and galleries were also added, as well as other features to keep new and returning visitors interested.
“At the time Mark was quite impressed with our customer retention and loyalty,” said Jen. “I think he was surprised to see how community-like the gang of them were – the girls and the guys. I think his big heart got a little bigger, if you know what I mean, and he ended up promising a 12-hour all-naked girl orgy.”
As 2much.net rebounded from the cyber attacks, dealt with the legal side of the issue, as well as refurbished its daily operations and expanded its sales volume, Prince and Jen consulted with the chat hostesses and managed to come up with the Girl-A-Thong concept.
“Now it’s a five-hour girl party,” Jen says. “Completely free real time video chat with our most popular and enduring chat-hostesses, some special guests, all with sound and covered by two cameras.”
A post on the LCN BBS invites members and visitors to join the girls for “a few beers, a few vodkas, a few bodyshots… special party-games and much more.”
The LiveCamNetwork.com Girl-A-Thon kicks off Wednesday May 4th at 8:00 pm EST.
