I just wanted to give you some info on AmandaCam.

The speculation that it was fake is untrue, as far as her own incarnation of it was concerned

Originally, a boyfriend of hers that was in the Internet business started a site using her as the double-identitied Abby/Uma and it existed for the time they were together. It then became the new site, AmandaCam a short time later. After a huge breakup and falling out, Amanda went off on her own, taking the site into her own hands and made it into the site it was for the 5 years after, from 1998 until it stopped in June of 2003.

During that time, she ran the site with little or no help (just an IT guy really), and it was really and truly her site. She ran it honestly and with care. The only thing fake about that one was the name she used. Despite it being a pseudonym, it was her, and her life. It wasn't always rosy, but as her long time members can attest, she was quite different than the "manufactured" porn-ish sites that seem to be the norm now.

The end came because of dwindling membership as health and personal situations kept her from keeping things going at full steam. Eventually, the overhead costs became too much, and the site essentially went broke, when her ISP pulled the plug on her site. Pure and simple.

Since then, she has essentially lost everything, and has spent the last two years trying to get back on her feet.

She has not, as some would suggest, "run off to Hawaii" with scads of money. The loss of the site was a severe personal and emotional blow.

It always pains me to see people call her a scam artist.
She was not.

I'm not familiar with the entire story behind all of this, but no matter what it is, I feel sorry for the girl that lost everything. I've been in a business position like that before and you don't realize until it hits home just how hard it is.

It's like a vicious circle of Peter robbing Paul to make ends meet and the worse part of it is, someone keeps moving the ends further apart.

There is no easy way to deal with hitting rock bottom, and as much of a hardship as the financial is, when you have to deal with medical issues as well, that is when it really tears you down. It's true what they say, if you don't have your health you don't have anything.

Like I said, I don't know the entire story behind this, but I say this person has my vote of support for getting back on her feet!

yeah, I have to agree with nick on this one, no matter what the situation is and we don't know both sides of the story, you have to give her kudos for trying to make her own way in the world.

They say what doesn't break you makes you stronger so let's hope she comes back landing on her feet!

I had forgotten about amandacam till I tried to find it again this evening and it wasnt there. I was a member of her site from 2000-2002 and always found her refreshingly...real.

there was absolutely nothing gratuitous about the site. as she said herself, she was making a statement about simply being herself, making herself available as an example of a real person living life.

it was art on the most human level. plus she was genuinely friendly. you could write her and watch her reply as she sat at the computer. sometimes when I got to work in the morning, I'd log on to vicariously enjoy her sleeping comfortably. sometimes her dog, oliver, would jump up on the bed and lay by her feet as she snoozed.

it was far more Real than the faked scenarios of reality tv.

I loved it and am very sorry to hear it's gone.

come back, amanda. I'll re-up, I promise. come back!

Alot of times we just have to give the benefit of the doubt. Yes, no matter the situation, let's hope she comes back with a bang.

I too was a member in the 2000-2002 era. There was also a fairly active Yahoo Group for her fans.

Does anyone know if that group is still active?

Thanks!
