What does Myres mean?

Short Answer: no one knows. Not even Sailor.

Long Answer: from the Main Page

MYRES identified
Have you ever seen the word "MYRES" within Sailors comments? Sailor didnt type it, nobody knew where it came from....until yesterday. The word "MYRES" was put into the comments by a deep and well hidden bug of the Macintosh program which Igor uses to review the contris before they are published - and it only happens if Sailor hits a special ASCII character on his Windows machine by mistake, which leads to a NIL pointer on Igors machine which is then converted to MYRES by the bug. Will Voyeurweb fix the bug?
Igor: "No! Myres has become our masquotte! Happy myres everyone!"

How long until my contri gets posted?

Depends on the backlog which can run as short as a day or as long as a couple of weeks. E-contris should be much quicker - originally within a few hours, but lately as long as a day.

The confirmation number you receive from a full series contris will give you some clue to when the contri will be posted. If your confirmation number is PS#30300, check the latest PS numbers. If the latest is PS#30200, there are a hundred contris in that category ahead of you (30300-30200=100). If VW has been posting twenty contris a day in PS, it'll be about five days before your contri is posted (100/20=5). Of course, it could be sooner if Igor gets into a backlog clearing mood.

Do I have to give my email address?

Yes/No. VW needs to confirm a valid addy before posting a picture contri. But no email addy is required within the BBS.

Do I need to state PDPMEMA?

No. It has become an inside joke. VW never posts email addies.

But I want email from my fans!

Your email server could not handle the number of emails you would get. Do not include your email addy in your story or on your pics. You can post your email in the BBS to get loyal fans' (and bashers') email.

I suggest you not use your regular email addy. You can get a free email address at yahoo.com or Hotmail.com or a hundred other sites.

How many people view each contri?

Reportedly: The number of daily visitors of the Free Voyeurweb averaged more than 1,700,000 daily unique visitors - the number of unique visitors to Voyeurweb and associated sites (RedClouds, Homeclips, Funbags, ProAdult) has reached an average of more than 2,600,000 daily. Voyeurweb's E Contri pages attract around 75,000 daily visitors.

Why doesn't anyone leave comments?

Sometimes it is a system glitch that prevents comments from being made. If you want to start a conversation in the BBS about your contri, please submit it to the appropriate BBS. You'll get a better response rate. But please watch how you word a new conversation - explain the comment boards are down. Some ill-mannered adolescents will reply with negative comments about "self-promotion." It'll also help if you post a link to your contri on the BBS (see below or ask for help).

Why are there so many negative comments?

Ill-mannered adolescents visit regularly. The common consent is that teenage boys (in body or mind) think it is fun. Please ignore them as much as possible. They only want attention.

If you are a contributor, please NEVER let an ill-mannered cretin get to you. For every one bad comment, there are dozens of positive ones. And there are thousands of appreciative viewers not commenting.

How does the voting system work?

Quite well, thanks for asking. A complete explanation is available at the following location: About the Voting
E-contri voting works the same way, just on a smaller scale.

Is the voting for real?

Yes. We have Igor's word on it. Cash prizes are awarded in various categories.

The prizes are available to anyone who is not a "FULL professional model" or a professional photographer. Since only Igor knows what a "FULL professional" means, only Igor can determine who qualifies. Operating a website with an AVS does not necessarily disqualify the contri from the prizes. If the site appears to be totally for-profit, loaded with ads, and has pop-ups windows, Igor will probably call it a professional site and the lady a "FULL professional" model.

How do I know how well I'm doing in the contest?

In E-contri there is a page devoted to the current rankings: VoteResults

In the standard contri pages, the top 25 or so are labeled with little r01, r02, r03... ranking as #1, #2, #3, ... But sometimes, not.

Sometimes on the left of those pages you will see a running list of the top rankings. Sometimes it is not there. Webmasters/mistresses experiment with the page.

Why did VW "ruin" my pic quality?

Regular Contests - You should email VW the best resolution possible; otherwise, the loss of quality will be visible when they add the branding and recompress the jpg. File sizes of 200kb to 250kb for each original picture is fine. [per VW Ops]

E-contris - once upon a time, E-contris had a file size limit of ~75kb. It appears some are coming through much larger - experiment with the submittal. The clickable image in the frames may look of less quality than the original. Click it! Your original image quality should appear.

Don't send tiny images to E-contris. They will be stretched in the automatic preview process. Add a blank border if necessary. And don't send multi- megabyte images either. Remember some people are still connecting with slooow modems.

Why are there no new pics for the past several days?

Hit your refresh/reload button. any change? If so, you probably have a preference file with a bad setting:


Netscape (v4.x)...
Edit.. Preferences... Advanced... Cache...
Page in cache is compared with page on Network...
select either "everytime" or "once per session"

IE(v5)...
Tools... Internet Options... General(tab)
halfway down - Temporary Internet Files - settings...
Check for newer versions of stored pages:
check "everytime you start IE" or "Automatically"

other version numbers are reported as pretty much the same.

If you tend to leave your browser running for days (e.g., cable modem), you'll need to have the page reload everytime. If you close the browser each day, then check the "once per session" option. You can also set your cache size. VW recommends 1-5mb.
While you are in your preferences, take the time to clear your cache

What is Redclouds?

Explicit photos. You'll need a Recloud membership or a ProAdultQuantum Membership for access. now straight from the Redclouds portal:

Caution!!! Redclouds was done for the HARDLINERS out there - if you prefer it soft and light like Igor, stay with the FREE VOYEURWEB and don't waste your time and money here - if you still want to enter Redclouds and see the explicit pictures from people like you and your girl..well..we warned you! Due to the nature of this site, we cannot offer any free examples. If you have any question about Redclouds, why don't you ask the other members about their opinions at the voyeurweb bulletin board..we have nothing to hide....
Here's the current RC Preview

Why won't my ProAdult membership enable access to Redclouds?
Why won't my Redclouds membership enable access to ProAdult sites?

For the same reason your ClubMed membership doesn't allow access to the YMCA. It is two different entities - read about it at RC9/info. ProAdultQuantum will get you everything - for a price.

Is ProAdult worth the price?

I think so. you get access to thousands of sites. Many of the Ladies of VoyeurWeb have frc pages accessible with ProAdult membership. There are over 15,000 ProAdult sites in the PA directory. Also check out RedCloudNine for updates. A new growing listing is also available PA/VW-Contributors. And there are thousands of sites available in the Main PA directory as well - just not VW Ladies.
New PA subscribers also receive Homeclips access.

Is ProAdultQuantum worth the price?

To each his own. ProAdultQuantum is the only monthly recurring billing within the VoyeurWeb family of companies. Cancel anytime...For more information take the Quantum tour! Quantum Tour. There are over 2000 sites limited to PAQuantum members only. Some of the Ladies of VoyeurWeb have PAQuantum restricted sites. Quantum gives you access to the entire VW family of sites: RC, PA, HC, FB, and PAQ.

Is Redclouds worth the price?

If you want explicit, hardcore shots, you might think Redclouds is great. Here's the current RC Preview If you don't get into hardcore stuff, consider ProAdult or ProAdultQuantum.

Caution!!! Redclouds was done for the HARDLINERS out there - if you prefer it soft and light like Igor, stay with the FREE VOYEURWEB and don't waste your time and money here - if you still want to enter Redclouds and see the explicit pictures from people like you and your girl..well..we warned you! Due to the nature of this site, we cannot offer any free examples. If you have any question about Redclouds, why don't you ask the other members about their opinions at the voyeurweb bulletin board..we have nothing to hide....

And to upload E-contris, you will either need a Redclouds membership or a ProAdult membership.

Can I join Redclouds without a Credit Card?

Yes. Contact billing@redclouds.com directly.

If I join Redclouds, will I get lots of email?

No. You will receive two (2) emails to confirm your order. You will receive another email just before your membership expires. VW/RC is a class act, and they haven't sold their highly prized email listing.

Your credit card statement will show Igormania, Inc. or Verotel Billing or Drewnet, Inc. or Plugnpay, Inc. depending in which CC you use and how RC routes the transactions on that particular day.

Is Funbags (Archives) worth it?

If you've been a regular for years, AND
your personal HOF files are not corrupted, AND
you tastes haven't changed in all those years,
THEN FUNBAGS may not be worth it.

But if you recently started viewing VW contris, OR
your harddrive crashed before making a back-up, OR
your tastes matured over time,
THEN FUNBAGS may be well worth the price.


btw, Funbags includes all the regular VW contris, the RC contris and Homeclips, but not the E-contris or Explicit BBS.

Where do I submit my picture(s)?

The following is from Contest Information

For single images, use E-contri. You need a RC or ProAdult membership to submit the form within the RC portal. Redclouds, also, has realtime picture posting on its members' BBS.


Finally, you can register a nickname and post an non-explicit image in your profile. To obtain a free nickname goto Protect a Nickname
DO NOT POST PICTURES OF CHILDREN - EXPLICIT OR NOT - ABSOLUTELY NO CHILDREN ON THIS ADULT-ONLY SITE.

Who do I tell when I spot a copied picture from another site?

submit the form on Report a stolen pic.

Posting messages in the BBS is inefficient and may be wholly inappropriate. You need to give VW the chance to investigate the claims. Providing the URLs of the VW contri AND the other site speeds along the investigation. Sometimes, the other site copied it from VW. In these cases, allow the VW Legal team to nail the thieving bastards.

VW has had the position that even FULL time professional models are welcomed to contri to VW as long as the VW submitted pics have never before been published and are submitted by the copyright owner. FULL professionals are not eligible for the prizes.

Finally, a slight change in the lady's pose or camera angle makes the photo an original.

Someone posted a picture of me. How do I get it removed?

Ask nicely to GORI@voyeurweb.com, or submit the form at http://reports.voyeurweb.com/contact_remove.html Include your proof of copyright violation and the specific URL that is in violation.

Why can't I upload my E-contri?

The most likely cause is the file size. You may need to get the file size under ~75KB.

My contri didn't show up - why?

One of many reasons.
- It didn't make the cut due to quality. (e.g.-poor video captures)
- It appeared to be faked, copied, stolen.
- It has appeared somewhere else on the internet before VW.
- Close-up gyno shots are not very interesting, and are sometimes rejected.
- She states she is 21yo but she looks younger than 18
- Series which cover multiple pics with no significant difference: -> Accept the best one and decline the others
- Resending the same pic every day.

For the full set contris, please refer to The Photo Competition FAQ.

And if your E-contri is explicit, it may have been sent to the Hardcore Redclouds E-contris.

What makes a contri go to Redclouds?

Unofficially,
Here are some of the guidelines (stolen from a monitor's message) although nothing is absolute:
Erected Penises -> RC
Penises in any type of sexual act (blowjob, handjob, anal, ...) -> RC
Rear shots -> VW
Rear shots with visible asshole -> RC
Front shots in general -> VW
Front shots with blurry or unclear vaginal details or absolutely closed pussy -> VW
Front shots which show any pussy details or looks inside her -> RC
Indirect Cum shots (with no penis and no pussy - like cum over breasts or mouth) -> VW
Cum Shots with pussy and or penis -> RC
Closeup of penis, pussy, asshole -> RC
Any type of breast incl closeups -> VW
Pictures which are considered art and include hardcore: Contact legal dept please! They might clear those shots for VW.

The following was lifted from the VW Monitor's Trooper page...
E Contri Rules for Monitors:
Beside the regular distribution to VW/RC we noticed that some typical cases led to wrong sortings in the past.This is how to handle the following cases properly:
- Blurry picture:-> DECLINE
- Covered penis (erected or not): ->goes to Male Section (RC)
- Pussy covered with hand, but one finger inside her pussy: ->goes to RC
- She states she is 21yo but she looks younger than 18: -> DECLINE
- Series which cover multiple pics with no significant difference: -> Accept the best one and decline the others
- Resending the same pic every day: DECLINE
Igor's pressrelease... Every single uploaded e-contri is approved by three different e-contri emonitors -- if they don't come to the same result, either VW, RC, MALE, or DECLINED -- the e-contri is passed to the VW office for review. As a result, the current e-contri monitors are getting slow ... hehehehehe ... which does not astonish me when we consider how many thousands of e-contris have been sorted and approved since we started.

Why won't the ladies respond to my BB postings?

Most of the ladies do not know these Bulletin Boards exist. Most contributors think their Comment Sections are the extent of their comments. YOU need to invite them to the Bulletin Boards when you start a thread in their honor. Place an invitation in their contri's Comment Section. Be certain to paste the BB's URL or the thread's URL in your invite. Don't make the lovely lady search for your postings.

If the lady declines to respond on the BB. Please do not be offended. Try again the next time she submits. If your comments are enticing enough, she will submit again.

How did you format your text and add links?

Carefully. Read How to format a Message very carefully. The common mistakes are:
--using a forward slash, /, rather than a backward slash, \.
--using capital letters in the command (aka tag or code)
--placing a space between the command and curly bracket, {
--using the wrong type of bracket, [ or (, instead of the curly bracket {

Now, How do I add a link in the BBS to my contri?

If you post a conversation about your contri, many will appreciate the link. With the hundreds/thousands of active contris, it is harder to find the individual contris. It is also helpful to post in the appropriate BBS. The command is:

\topurl{URL address,Title}
Just remember not to include spaces between the slash-topurl-curly bracket. More info on BBS commands

You can get the URL address once you find the contri by right-click (option-click for Mac-ians) and pull down to the 'copy location' or 'copy this link location' or some sort of command depending on OS and browser.

How do I get the smileys?

DO NOT include a space between the "clipart" and curly bracket. Here's the set:

\clipart{angry}
\clipart{crazy}
\clipart{happy}
\clipart{lame}
\clipart{proud}
\clipart{sad}
\clipart{smile}
\clipart{wink}
\clipart{new}
\ch{:)} J
\ch{:|} K
\ch{:(} L
and apparently, all you have to do is type a ":" next to a ")" to get :) =
or put a ":" next to a "(" to get :( =
or place a ":" next to the capital letter "O" to get :O =

and for the more radical symbols/fonts... Dylañ has mapped out hundreds of other symbols. Caution, changing fonts may make some characters unreadable depending on the fonts loaded on each computer (these are standard PC and Mac unless the user removed them).

How do I post a picture in the BBS?

Short answer - you don't.
Longer answer - You can in the Explicit BBS (Redclouds). The instructions and WARNING are posted at How to Post an Image
Finally, you can register a nickname and post an non-explicit image in your profile. To obtain a free nickname goto Protect a Nickname
DO NOT POST PICTURES OF CHILDREN - EXPLICIT OR NOT - ABSOLUTELY NO CHILDREN ON THIS ADULT-ONLY SITE.

My posts never turn out right. What's wrong?

Operator error. Please ALWAYS review your message before hitting the "Post this message" button. Correct your typos, and check your formatting.

What topics can I discuss?

Anything. But be certain it fits in the BBS you've selected. General BB can be anything. NIP BB should be about the NIP contris or NIP topics. Bashing is considered adolescent behavior - please don't be a basher. Please take all trash talk to the BitchZoneBB. Abuse of the BBS will get you banned. Abuse comes in several different shades. If you actively attempting to spoil someone else's fun, you are probably a basher or abuser of this BBS.
You have no rights on this private BBS, VW grants you privileges to post which they may withdraw at any time, WITHOUT NOTICE or WARNING.

What are they talking about in the Global Village?

Lord only knows! This BBS was formerly called the Insider's Lounge. Registered Nickname can only post - all can lurk. (and regularly check the profile pictures; the ladies update their profile pics faster than E-contris)

For those trying to follow some of the lingo in the Global Village (good luck!):

Recondite says
kitty = email
the origin of a "kitty" was that an express letter image posted on an IE browser appeared as a kitty on a Netscape browser (credit to BOTH Curiousgirl and Recondite).
owl = a kitty with an attachment e.g.- a pic
history is Harry P0tter and the owls bringing letters
*code brown* = phonecall
*code green* = an invitation to move to another predetermined site.

WHY DOES EVERYONE COMPLAIN ABOUT MY MESSAGES?!?!?!?

all capitals is shouting in cyberspace. use lowercase or normal capitalization. Use colors ( the simple colours) for effect; otherwise, its too hard to read. Over punctuation is also annoying !!!!!

And dispite my initial thoughts, you can make you posts in all sorts of colors.

Why do some people just leave a message "BUMP"?

The BBS lists conversations by the date of the last message. "Bumping" a message brings it to the top of the BBS list.

I left a question on the BBS, but no one answered it. Why not?

Reason#1: No one saw it. Bump it after a day or two.
Reason#2: No one knew the answer. Bump it again. VW Ops reads them all every few days. And should respond to any unanswered questions.

Someone "stole" my username. What can I do?

Register it. Read about it at Protect your nickname. You'll have to provide a valid email addy. Just don't use your main one for your own protection. Get a free email address at yahoo.com or hotmail.com or a hundred other sites.

Aren't the ProAdult sites Professional sites that ban them from winning the prizes?

No. Many debates rage on this topic. Here's Igor's answer as he posted it:


Igor posted this on Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 01:09 pm
This discussion is getting old..very old...and extremly boring. Those who didnt understand the concept [FRC] up to now, will never understand it. Those who "HATE" the little text link will always hate it. There is only one solution: If you dont like, leave. I also ask the PA webmasters not to defend themselves...because they shouldnt be pushed into a defensive role. If you have any complaints, come to me. But as long as you repeat the same shit all over again and again and again, I will change nothing and not discuss this subject for the 17th time - period. If the complainers would have access to PA, they understand see what they miss and not waste their time with this type of discussions.

If you don't like the rules in Igor's sandbox, I suggest you play somewhere else.
From the VW pictures pages:
Our photo pages feature genuine photos only - published nowhere else before. If you come across any photo which has appeared somewhere else before, please send us an alert by clicking here. 99% of our contributors are amateurs including private FRC/PA webmasters. Full professionals (commercial models and/or photographers) are are also welcomed to submit their material, as long as it is genuine. We do not link to other sites but private FRC/PA sites and we do not rank contris from full professionals.
Now from http://certifiedamateurs.com
WHAT ARE THE QUALIFICATIONS TO GET CERTIFIED [as an amateur site]??
  1. The web site needs to be one that is built around a feature amateur, her photos and personality. Professional and or paid model sites will not be permitted. In some instances an amateur may have or may at some point be paid to model for popular magazines, etc. This does not take away from the amateurs status unless the amateur makes modeling their full time profession.
  2. The amateur must be in complete control over the web site and the business. She/he must able to make everyday decisions on marketing and promoting the web site, including link exchanges and placements.
  3. The amateur is not required to code/design their own site, you are allowed to have a webmaster. Whether it be someone you direct pay or someone that receives their compensation through the success of your site. Either way, it is allowed, but #2 qualification MUST be part of the agreement between the amateur and the webmaster.
  4. Most importantly, the amateur must answer their own e-mail!! If your webmaster answers some e-mail of your behalf, please make sure that they sign as the webmaster of the site and not the amateur personality. We really want surfers to know that they getting a response from the 'actual amateur'.

Who wrote all these asinine answers?

Me. aka FAQ. Ubiquitous disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with VW or RC.

I was honored by VW with a share in the Publisher's Award for December 2001. Silly for me to get a cash award, so February 2002 was the SEXIEST NEKKID SMILE E-contri Contest, and everyone is smiling.
