Stvlive.com :: memberships

Welcome!
Welcome to Stvlive.com... a FREE "life-glimpse" website featuring me - a silly girl named Stephanie. It is an ongoing experiment... a place where I can document my life, create art, and reach out to people all over the world. You will find my diary entries, art, photography, modeling, snapshots, live webcams and so much more.

Is Stv for you?
Stvlive.com is rated PG13 - R. You won't see any of my "important bits" - I just wouldn't be comfortable sharing my anatomy online. But you can expect some of the cam shows and archived modeling photos to be a little sexy... that is just one side of my personality. There are many other times when I'll look rumpled, sleepy, average, or even ugly. I am human just like you. If you'd like to enjoy fun, sometimes sexy, but mostly silly photos of me and my life, you are welcome to join!

Why Memberships?
When I started this site in 1998, it was simply a way for me to share my life an my art with the world. Over the years it has grown, in both popularity and size, to the point where I must limit access to the higher bandwidth sections of the site. By limiting access to the site, I am able to maintain such high-bandwidth features as multiple refreshing live webcams, and over 40,000 photos and movies.

And then?
For quite a while, I accepted credit card payments through an online service in exchange for membership time in order to support the costs of the site. Then one day, they decided my site was too risky for their service. Since there wasn't any other payment processing options I was comfortable with, I was forced to take the time to re-evaluate Stvlive.com and what it meant to me after all these years.

At this moment...
Stvlive.com always has and always will be a work in progress, changing and growing with my life. It is so interwoven with my life that it couldn't be any other way. Removing the member section of my site would be like removing a 6+ year piece of my life, so I have decided to continue it. I feel like I've turned down a different road with this website - I no longer worry about getting the site to pay for itself or have a zillion members. I am just going to put my heart and soul into continuing to update, improve, and add to it, sharing it with those who are interested.

How do you Join?
Joining Stvlive.com is FREE! The only reason you are required to join to have access, is to limit the amount of bandwidth that is needed to run the site. To join, you just need to fill out the membership form. After I receive your membership request, I will create a one-month account for you. There is a one month limit to memberships so that only actively interest people are members of the site. You will need to rejoin after one month. However, there is a way to have a longer membership length! If you "captured" at least 15 live webcam images (through my "capture" links on the live member cams) in the previous calendar month, you will get an additional 2 weeks when you rejoin, for a total of 45 days of membership.

How can I help?
If you would like to support this site, you can do so on my support page. Unfortunately, I have no way to accept monetary donation. However, by sending gift cards to places that I regularly visit, you will be freeing up money that can then be used to pay for the Stvlive.com server.

10 Live Cam Views Refreshing Every 20 Seconds
There are 9 cameras running 24/7 (as hardware allows)! The 10th cam is reserved for when I am feeling creative and want to pose for live "cam shows". Guest cams refresh every 5 minutes and are limited to 2 views. A bonus desktop cam shows what is on my main monitor. Plus, you get to see the last two images from every cam so you never miss a moment!

Members-Only Cam Shows
Live, posed cam shows for members only! The shows are pretty much live self-portraits. They can be silly, sexy, creative, etc... I have done over 160! They are a way for me to get creative and challenge myself through self-portraits. There is no garuntee how often these will be, as I have a fulltime job and a freelance company.

40,000+ Archived Images
Webcampics, webcamsets from each cam show, & digital photos! Guests get 6 archived webcam pictures per month. The gallery script I wrote has lots of great features... There are even special daily galleries created by members who capture images they like from the cams - you can usually see all the images from a show right away!

230+ Movie Clips
Movies about my life, some made from my cams, and slideshows of every cam show.

High-Res Photo Galleries
I have an ever-growing section of my photo gallery devoted to high quality photos. Everything from photos of my daily life to vacation snapshots to sets taken of me by professional photographers. You don't want to miss these!

Archives
Get access to all archives that would normally raise my bandwidth like 6+ years diary entries, my personal snapshots, and desktop wallpaper.
