whats up with oMP?
So I have been trying to log in to OMP all morning...I just get some server error message...no probs with any other site so I know it's not my connection...anyone else having OMP issues likt this lately? Why did I shell out $300 for amemberhsip if i cant ever log in?!?!?! Jun 15 05 03:03 pm Link I take it you haven't really perused the recent forums topics here... Jun 15 05 03:07 pm Link WOW... $300 for a membership... OMG!... they sure had your Guchi purse in their sights the minute you walked in the door... LOL! Jun 15 05 04:17 pm Link please tell me that was a typo and you ment $30.00, I think $30.00 is too high. Jun 15 05 04:26 pm Link Posted by Mary: It had to have been a typo. I don't even think they have $300 membership packages. Jun 15 05 04:33 pm Link Your right 30 would be high but 300 would be absurd . Why put up with their mass marketing of products any way. They were about models at first now it's just what they can sell and the members still pay to get their internal spam. Jun 15 05 04:37 pm Link $300 gezzzz OMP is not worth it, but you might want to check your computer settings, like your cookies. Try erasing your cookies and temporary files, that might work..... Jun 15 05 04:45 pm Link Actually the top Platinum+ package for a Photographer profile goes for $269.95. They're site is broken so I can't see what it costs for a Model. So $300 membership is pretty close. Jun 15 05 04:45 pm Link I did the Platinum membership last year and it was $200 for me (photographer). It has paid it self back at least 4 times over but thats it. I told myself it had to pay itself back 10 times over or I wouldn't renew. Well, the year is up...no renewal for me. Jun 15 05 04:56 pm Link Posted by Brandon Luna: WOW---$200 is still a lot for all the spam and filtering they do. I had a low level account there and nearly all showcases and I never got a paying job from the site. Jun 15 05 05:14 pm Link I've gotten waaayy more jobs on MM than OMP, and I still have trouble with the mailing system over there.. No way am I paying that much money for a crappy site.. and what's up with all the porn emails, lately? Is anyone else getting those or do I just look like a porn star? ;p Jun 15 05 05:32 pm Link Posted by Jenn: Lately? When did it ever stop? =] Jun 15 05 05:39 pm Link Posted by Low Tek: Posted by Jenn: Lately? When did it ever stop? =] You're right.. it started as soon as I got there.."NEED GIRLS FOR HOT GIRL ON GIRL ACTION!!!" haha.. yeah.. I'll be right there Jun 15 05 05:41 pm Link Posted by Low Tek: Posted by Jenn: Lately? When did it ever stop? =] They charge more for the porn guys to troll the site for the newbies so they ( OMP ) want them there. It's like having a flock of wolves that you introduce new sheep to every morning. Jun 15 05 05:53 pm Link Aw, you mean you guys didn't all enter the OMP gear contest wearing their boyshorts, hats, and carrying their "professional looking" portfolio books? Geez. Jun 15 05 06:59 pm Link No problems w/ that site here. Jun 15 05 07:30 pm Link Posted by Farenell Photography: Outstanding point... Jun 15 05 07:35 pm Link I just have the basic free membership for a model on OMP. No way am I paying for that. Plus about 50% of emails are wanting nudes and porn style images. One email was hilarious. At first it just said, we'll pay you $300.00-$400.00 to pose nude. I said I was interested in more details. Hell, $300.00-$400.00 to "pose" nude I was thinking it'd be a little artsy or playboy type. The next email said, "Great, well in the shots will be 1 toy, and a spread shot." HAHAHHA Thanks, but no thanks. 1 Toy, I was hoping they meant handcuffs, though I'm takin it that wasn't what they meant. ;-) All of my photo shoots have been through MM. Though some of the photogs are on OMP as well, but have strictly contacted me through here. I'm greatful for MM. Nice, friendly, effective, and free! I love this place, I'm glad it's back on track!!!! Jun 15 05 07:50 pm Link Posted by Reese: Posted by Farenell Photography: Outstanding point... *grin* Jun 15 05 07:52 pm Link I haven't been experiencing any problems at all. As a matter of fact, the only site I've had issues with in the past 2 months has been MM yesterday and last night... Jun 15 05 08:02 pm Link Yes, I noticed OMP was inaccessable for most of yesterday. The major problem I've had lately with OMP is not getting my emails. And yes the porn casting calls are driving me crazy. I think porn should stay on their own websites and out of the Modeling forums/portfolio sites. Not everyone cares to do this type of work...since when is playing with toys modeling? Geeezzzzzz. By allowing this stuff, modeling sites are infering that this is acceptable and it lessens their credibility in the real world. When I first started on the net in 2000 - the forums/port sites stayed on topic, now anybody can post anything even if they dont have tearsheets or real modeling credentials. This is the downside of the Internet. And it has allowed the porn industry to invade everyones space, blur the lines by convincing everyone "its Modeling" and encourage young girls to become porn"stars" as if its the coolest thing. Would I go to a porn site looking for or posting for a Modeling job? No...so I think they should have some respect and stay out of our territory as well. However, its human nature to be lured by big money. OMP was much better 4 years ago before they got greedy and went commercial. They had a good thing going, but its turned into a media circus. Fortunately, I've been on MM for about a week, and have had NO problems. This site is making my life so much easier! Note to Webmaster - Please dont change and go commercial! Jun 15 05 08:20 pm Link although I was able to log in this morning...I believe she might be speaking about a years membership. Maybe one of the ones with comp & biz cards Jun 15 05 08:50 pm Link Posted by Doug Harvey: Not sure what your point is. I have a yearly membership there to. Again, I still haven't had any problems logging in (as she's having) to that site either yesterday or today. Jun 15 05 09:41 pm Link It's working for me. I only pay for OMP now when I need to put out a travel notice and that's only for a month which is like $9.95. I paid for a year and it was no different then being free other then being able to have more pictures up. Jun 15 05 10:37 pm Link You too...I got that same email a couple of days ago-I wanted more info.-next email u'll use a toy at the end of the VIDEO not shoot like he said before. Glad I'm not the only one getting these crazy emails. Julie Posted by DigOutURblueyes: Jun 15 05 10:55 pm Link |
