I'm also on the West Coast. While I stopped my RLC membership because those that I watched were up and active while I was either sleeping or working, those freakin' dots are too annoying. My guess is because RLC started blurring the free cams, they're projections for membership aren't being reached (which was a nice opening for VHTV). They are too concerned with their videos being posted elsewhere vs supplying steady content. Controlled "distribution" can be a good thing for any business (ask Wifey's World). WW may be 15+ years old but they started out supplying free content and once established, controlled (not prohibit) free content; which still makes the site relevant.
I'm liking VHTV's approach. Plenty of kinks to work out but they saw opportunity and went for it. And along with supplying open communication in open forums, it appears they're growing.
