I am excited to announce that there are three new additions to the Stats pages. Those are: Heatmap activityViewers detailsHighest and lowest CamScore These elements are at model's level. It is not global. What I mean is that, for example, the highest CamScore is related to the model. But let's take a look at each element. Heatmap Activity Basically, it is a heatmap graph that helps you understand when the model is usually online. Notice that I said usually. It does not mean that the model will be online for sure at those hours. Therefore, don't see this as the model's schedule. The heatmap takes into account the model's activity in the past 90 days. Naturally, models without any activity won't have a heatmap. It has six levels: NeverVery RarelyRarelySometimesOftenVery Often. Of course, if a model gets online very often every Monday at 10 in the morning, you have a good chance of catching her online at that time. But remember that this is not guaranteed. Speaking of time, the graph is relative to your timezone. So, in the example above, Monday at 10 am is related to your timezone, not the model's timezone. Viewers Details This feature was present in MyCamgirl's old version. But disabled during migration. Basically, it shows two things: Average viewers It is how many viewers a model has on average in her public chat. It does not count users in private chat, group show, or any other paid session. The average is calculated based on the last 90 days. Highest viewers It is simply the model's best moment in terms of viewers. When she reached the most viewers in her room. This takes into account the whole data, not only the last 90 days. In case you are curious, the viewers' data goes back to March 2014. Is this available for all models? Only for the sites that MyCamgirl can collect data on the viewers. Those are Cams.com, Chaturbate, and MyFreeCams. Highest And Lowest CamScore Obviously, this is available only on the Stats pages of MyFreeCams' models because, well, you know, the CamScore is a MyFreeCams thing. The data goes back to 2011. The date is different from the viewers' data because the MyFreeCams' bots were originally launched in 2011, and only in 2014, they started "seeing" viewers.

No, it is not about old reviews. This is about Stats pages and CWSW pages. It's time to clean up the database! Why Does The Database Need to Be Purged? First reason: Relevance; What is the point of having a page related to a camgirl who stopped camming five years ago? Most likely, people who spent time in her room either moved on or are not even around anymore. Even if these members are still around, they have no reason to check the stats of a camgirl who has quite a long time ago. I mean, her stats page won't get any update. So what? Will the guy keep checking the page every day to see the same data? Second reason: SEO; MyCamgirl currently has 4,565,541 models on its database (Stats pages only.) That can be harmful in terms of SEO. Every SEO analyst I have talked to told me that these pages are too thin and similar. They are an absolute nightmare, the worst content a site could have. The right way to do it would be to add valuable content to each page. That means extensive and cured text about each camgirl. Yeah, that is just impossible. A few analysts even suggested shutting down the Stats area for good. Forget about the Stats pages and focus on the reviews; that's what search engines love. Search engines love that because they think that is what people want and can't make sense of a stat page. But what SE fails to realize is how much more traffic the poor pages get. There are a lot more people interested on the Stats pages than on reviews. In the end, we agreed to meet halfway. Only irrelevant pages will be "removed," which will reduce the number of pages drastically. Will The Data Be Deleted? No. The page will return 404 Not Found. But the data will remain in the database. That is because this data will still be valuable to create historical insights of the camming industry. All the activities of a camgirl whose page is no longer available will still count towards some global statistics, but without mentioning her name. What Pages Will Disappear? Stats pages and CWSW pages are the only sections affected by this. Stats pages: All accounts that have not been online in the past three years; CWSW pages: All pages that have only closed accounts or that all accounts have no activity in the past three years; Important note: This is related to accounts, not camgirls. If a camgirl has two accounts and stops using one of these accounts, the stats page for this inactive account will disappear after three years of inactivity. However, the stats page for the account that she still uses will remain available. I Still See Old Pages It can be due for one of the following reasons: First, the bots didn't process the page yet. Every day the bots will search for inactive accounts. But this process takes some time, and with almost billions of accounts to check, it can take so long that many accounts are left to check the next day. Second, some pages will remain no matter what. These pages and the camgirls have significant relevance to the history of camming. Camgirls like ShyUtza (aka ShyTeen2009,) Kickaz, or AspenRae will undoubtedly be forever attached to the history of camming, and looking back on their stats is relevant at any time. Or for example, Kati3kat's stats on Chaturbate will be relevant to compare with her stats on MyFreeCams, even though we all know that she will never return to Chaturbate. What Happens If The Camgirl Comes Back? If the camgirl starts camming again, then it will automatically reinstate her Stats pages for that account. This is assuming that she is back online using her old accounts. If she gets new accounts, then her old accounts will remain down.

A new feature has just rolled out for MyFreeCams and Chaturbate: The Room Topic Archive What Does The Room Topic Archive Show? It shows the last 4 room topics set by the model. You have the option to load more topics. Go ahead, give it a try: Check AmberCutie's Stats Page. Are All Topics Available? No. It would require way too many resources to store every single room topic. Especially with countdowns, it can change hundreds of times in a minute. I can say that every hour the topics generate around 300 MB of data. Doing the math... then it would be 2.6 TB of data every year. Considering that I am collecting this specific data since 2014, right now I would be storing ~18 TB of data for the topics only. I would probably go with AWS to store this data on DynamoDB, then I would be getting a $4,500 bill every month. And that would be the cost of storing it. As you can see, storing every single room topic would be the worst idea after the frozen yogurt. The solution I came up with was to store one room topic per hour. What you see is actually the topic the model had on her highest moment in the hour. Confusing? Let me explain in detail. During a one-hour period, let's say between 10 am and 11 am, once per minute (60 times), the bots check how many viewers are in each chat room, and the current room topic. At the end of the hour, a bot processes all the data to calculate the average viewers for each model. After calculating and saving the average, all the data collected for that period is deleted. Each model has, for each hour they have been online, an entry with her average viewers. The room topic is also included in this row. But since there are 60 different room topics, the bot selects the room topic for the minute when the model had the most viewers. Careful with how many room topics you load. Theoretically, you can load all the topics. But it depends on how much your browser can handle because, basically, every time you load more topics, it adds 4 lines to the list. If the model has too many room topics, at some point you may end up with a 20,000 lines list, which may take too many resources from your browser/computer. Why Only MyFreeCams And Chaturbate Got Room Topic? First, because these were the first two camsites to use the room topic. Second, it is quite easy to collect that from them, while other camsites complicate so much, mainly because their room topic system was developed kinda as improv. In some situations, the bots would have to join every single chat room every minute to check the room topic. Third, and the biggest reason, because, as explained before, the room topic is collected together with the viewers. Not every camsite with a room topic feature provides the viewers count. In some camsites, the viewers' count is not visible at all. Is This Data Really Relevant? I would say: meh. But somehow people want to see the room topic. Years ago, when the last room topic (only the last) started being shown on Stats pages. Nobody said anything. But when a glitch stopped the room topic from being updated, I got more than a few emails complaining about it. That was when I realized that the room topic is more relevant than I thought.
